Player Watch #44: Cameron Zurhaar - has re-signed until the end of 2029 - finishes 6th in the 24' SBM

[Hojuman]

Keeps this form up and maybe the Rising Star isn’t as clear cut as everyone thought it’d be at the start of the year...

Rising star rules 15.1.3 states;

" Any North Melbourne rookie from interstate who becomes the best young player in his 2nd season shall be ruled ineligible for the award as Carlton obviously have drafted the best young player at no. 1 "

 

[The Warlord]

Don’t take this the wrong way fellas but what’s his contract status?

Luckily we have the Gaff money to give him

 

[scottywiper]

Cult hero written all over him. No chance for Rising Star i would think, but a real gem.

There's no historical correlation with "W.A. boys" and "hitting hard".

I don't know. They hit the nose beers extremely hard.

Apart from Gagff, but that was on a bloke with the ball who couldn't possibly defend himself in the circumstances.

Kane Cornes (and yes I know he is not popular on this forum) described his pass to Simpkin as the best field kick of the year. Personally, I have it right up there with Simpkin's delivery to BBB against the Swans off his left.

He's also a Victorian.

Rhyce is a massive wrap for Z. "One of my favourites and has a strutt about him"

The irony is that they have all the #1 draft picks, these blokes are the rising stars, and they are still bottom of the ladder. Imagine if the get Scotts as coach. Hoju will have the next 10 years to hang shit on them.

Let's be honest, it was a flukey reaction punch.

I had another look as I'd honestly forgotten exactly how it happened. It was off the ball. Maybe Brayshaw made a nasty comment about Gaff's mum or something.

Anyway, he is only a visitor to WA so I shouldn't have mentioned him anyway.

He threw a blind punch that had little timing or technique and just happened to glance Brayshaw in the sweet spot.

I reckon Gaff was more amazed than Brayshaw.

If that's Gaff's idea of boxing technique, then there's suburban gyms all over Australia filled with novices that would punch ten shades of shit out of him.

Zurhaar reminds me of our 90s types.

No nonsense, never flinches.

Enjoys contact like Cunners and Jed......he was a fantastic selection as a rookie.

 

[the big lebowski]

Pretty sure he’s firing of little pre season as well coming back from the leg break.

The skies the limit with him.

 

[Danni_Benson]

Stay away WA clubs ! Do not come near!

Is he the secret love child of Shannon grant and Glen Archer?

Cam has kicked 12 goals so far this season. By my reckoning, that makes him our second highest goal scorer so far this season.

Not bad for a rookie.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

He's been great but 12 goals after 11 rounds being our second highest tally is not great.

Zurhar has only played 8 of the 11 games. Going at 1.5 goals a game is a very solid return from him. wood has played 9 and Larkey 6 so we don't have a second forward that has played all 11.

Yeah that's kind of my point.

 

[WD Roo]

Got permanent residency status in Victoria. Sorry.

He just found out Glen Archer is his Dad.

 

[DarwinRoo]

23 pressure acts. Not sure where the 66 came from.

His form in the pre-season was pretty ordinary, chalk and cheese to how he is going in the real stuff.

Broken legs will do that to ya

 

[7577969923]

Yeah that's kind of my point.

Just kind of points to how poorly we started the year and how Brad didn't seem to know his best forward line structure. He was still trying to convert Ziebull into a CHF for the first few rounds.

Over the past 5 matches, our four main forwards have collectively kicked bags of 10, 8, 4, 11, and 10. On that small sample size every time they register double-figures we win. Might become a telling stat for us over time.

Wood, Zurhar, and Larkey all look like they could all kick at least 25 goals this season, especially if we play the rest of the season more like the last five rounds than the first six.
