Wrong

Not a Melbourne based club

Rayner.

Bingo

I'm guessing that'd be Cam Rayner

I'm guessing that'd be Cam Rayner

You guys are good at this

 

[The Warlord]

You know who Super Cam is going to be our version of - Elliot Yeo.

Big, tough, takes a great overhead mark, kicks goals, loves burying blokes in the tackle, stands up at the right moment.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I'm guessing that'd be Cam Rayner

They need to play that kid in defence for a stretch.

 

[The Warlord]

Thing with Super Cam is that he, along with the other forward line blokes like Thomas and Wood and Larkey and Brown are building a real forward team mindset, they go hard for each other, they look for each other, they are really starting to work as a solid unit, and it is Cam who is bringing that element of glue.

Love him.

East Fremantle - footy factory.

Just a wild guess, is it 4G @ 57%?

 

[Marstermind]

He had 23 pressure acts.

66 has to be impossible

Doing 66 of anything in a footy match is amazing. But pressure acts? What's normal for that? It seems totally off the charts.

 

[Groin guru]

Blokes on afl nation were calling him “their” guy.

Has all the traits to be a cult hero

Has all the qualities to be a cult hero. You could see it from day 1 when they gave him the microphone during the kids's day. Able to make fun of himself when kids didn't know who he was and also make fun of other players. He has character and I'm glad it hasn't been washed away like it often does when players are media trained. Like Brown and Maj you want the camera's on him because he's the type of character the footy world loves and it boosts memberships.

What about his run and fend off on the wing? The arrogance was beautiful. Shame he left the ball behind

I was having flashbacks

Forward line looks way better balanced with him in there, and Turner into defense. He's probably playing the role we hoped Garner would.

He's playing exactly that role, and I'll be happy to have two of them if TG can get fitness again.

[Istanbul Roo]

1. Great recruiting by the club to see the potential in him, and pick him up as a rookie overlooked by the WA clubs.
2. Great work by Cam this pre-season to change his body shape to pick up his endurance without losing his strength.
3. Great work by the development coaches to see his strengths and improve them.

He should rightfully be in the frame to win the rising star award

"I JUST love tackling people."

If Cameron Zurhaar's five first-quarter tackles and 11 for the match didn't ram that home, he made sure everyone knew in North Melbourne's euphoric rooms on Friday night.


Zurhaar lost control of the ball soon after and it spilled out of bounds, but it's that sort of confidence – bordering on arrogance – that makes him such a fan favourite.

"I like to hit them hard. I'm a WA boy, and we were born to hit hard," Zurhaar told AFL.com.au with a wide grin post-match.

 

[Roosurgence]

This bloke has a massive dose of campaigner in him and I love it.

 

[Event Horizon]

We might just finally get him off the rookie list

Crazy how the 11 disposal game can be better then his 5 goal effort earlier in the season. Just highlights how crazy the defensive impact he was able to create through the tackling etc.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Bachar Houli was interviewed on the radio and they mentioned Zurhaar- Houli’s first comment was ‘he is a big boy’ and yeah he kept getting into too me.
Then here I am smiling at my radio
