Player Watch #44: Cameron Zurhaar - has re-signed until the end of 2029

[Disco Dew]

Sits amongst our team

12th for disposals
10th marks
2nd goals
7th tackles
3rd contested marks
3rd goal assists.

I'm not sure what he's not achieving in one of the worst sides doing the rounds for many years.

oh well

Been a well rounded player this year and done a lot. I’ve been happy with his performance overall. Hasn’t ripped a game apart yet which is probably the issue for some

 

[big_e]

He needs to repay the faith in all honesty.

His football the last few years is nothing close to worthy of a 5 year deal at the likely coin he is on.

You've been crapping on for a year about how we'd get Band 1 FA compo when - not if - he left.

Thoughts and prayers, old bean. Wrong again.

 

[amaz199]

The half opportunities he gets around goal where he has to snap around the body, back him in.

He's lethal when he gets space. Very underrated finisher when he improves the angle.

 

[R00StaR]

So has many other of our players.

Xerri has elevated himself.

Larkey elevated himself.

LDU has elevated himself.

He’s a good ordinary AFL footballer.

This contract sits in the Simpkin and McDonald category until he can prove otherwise imo.

As in reality he’s only performing marginally better than those two at the moment.

I’d expect an AA squad caliber season during this contract from someone we have at $700k and 5 years.

I liked how he played in the first quarter pushing up to become a marking option to get out of their forward press. Up forward he creates chaos even if not hitting the scoreboard himself.

Granted our forward line does need an injection of some pace.

On the pay, frontload it a little for a year and he's 5 to 600k a season while the cap is set to balloon.

Plenty of team first stuff yesterday

Worked hard up the ground

I just came across glenn archer's hall of fame intro video and i immediately thought of him in the modern time.

On the radio i think it was montagna said that the masty halfback character of the 90s are your powerful half forward today.

He is our glenn archer type role where he provide physicality forward of centre.

We need to develop his type across a few lines, very pleased to have xerri in the ruck, huge huge.

 

[ChairmanZia]

we need to isolate him much more in the goal square

 

[Passmore]

 

[the big lebowski]

Think his game was a little underrated on the weekend.

Stats don’t indicate the influence he had on the game imo

 

[Rooniversity]

Has the league's best withering expressions towards the umpires when it's a dodgy decision (which means this expression is seen often). Think it was most supreme when he was almost strangled vs Carlton last year during the Good Friday match. No free as I recall.

Handy player too

I think he copped a roughy early on Saturday as well.

Yeah I must rewatch that on the replay as I remember thinking at the match, there's Cam's death stare again

 

[trooroo4life]

Got 5 years, mouthed off to the opposition 24hours before the game and then dished up that garbage.

Man I’m so glad we gave him 5 years, this is going to go brilliantly. Another bit of magic Snoz.

 

[bennymate]

5 years. ****

 

[Swallow_Wood]

If his role is to be a decoy and drag his opponent away so as to open up the forward line, then man is he good at his job. If not....

 

[RHLK]

Kick the goal, bro. Five years.

The most expensive decoy in history

Let’s face it .. if he didn’t play for us we would be calling him the ultimate tool

 

[ChairmanZia]

What happened to getting him one out in front the goals?

Put him on a smaller player and then one out. Blind freddy could see that.

 

[scottywiper]

Only just

 

[archereleven]

The missed goal from 45 out under no pressure was ****ing pathetic.

For a bloke who was waiting to see if we've turned the corner before signing a healthy deal...

We may have or are in the process of doing so, the question is...has he?

We need to him to be doing more heavy assault stuff, like bruising opp's defenders, heavy tackles, bumps, one out physical tussles with a smaller opponent.

We don't need him to be the deft touch type player.
