Player Watch #7: Zane Duursma - out for 2024, undergoing shoulder surgery

[My Left Foote]

yeah he's pretty harsh on him too. watch the press conference, pushed aside the mark chat and basically said he needs to be better at getting into the game.

Harsh? Or challenging him to step up to AFL level and contribute more to the team?

What a leap he has - nearly hurdled balta

Maybe firm is better than harsh - either way Clarko isn’t letting him think he’s BGZ at this level yet.

Zane was told after the Tassie game against the Cats that he won’t play VFL again this year.

I’m really excited about what he’ll become.

 

[King Corey]

Someone else mentioned it but pretty cool how Zane and Colby have both had standout plays in their "strong suits" that made weekly highlight reels.

Its weird how life goes ... like from being 15-20 years younger than Homer to 15 - 20 years older.

That is just awesome.

I remember him floating in for a pack mark in one of his first games and was sold then and there. Kid has talent.

His ability to track the ball in flight is exceptional, That game down at Hobart where everyone was running under the ball Zane tracked it coming in perfectly. One of the things i reckon stopped Ben Brown being elite as he often mis-tracked and then mistimed his leap. and what we saw on the weekend is the combination of this combined with some natural spring timed at exactly the right time.


When he gets a tank and can cover more of the ground Jarrod Waite like numbers wont be unrealistic. Wait till this bloke is 24 years old and running round with peak Sheezel , Kerch and Wardlaw! I reckon he could be one of the great CHFs

 

[Its a Process]

I'd love him to get some easier possessions, feels like every touch is a massive contested mark.

If he can develop a tank and get up and down the ground he is going to be a phenomenal player.

Three more cracks at a Rising Star nom. with tomorrow’s game possibly his best chance. A tidy 15 pos. 2-3 goal game with a couple of trademark floating pack marks may just do it. Wasn’t too far off these numbers in his first few games and has last week’s hanger well and truly still in the voting panel’s minds. Would cap off a great 2024 class for the Club.

Does he have the runs on the board to get a nomination? I don’t pay much attention to other sides, but usually at the end of the season they give the nomination to a kid that’s put a good season together without a stand out game.

Yep, body of work does comes into it for sure, especially with these later rounds. Also couldn’t tell you if anyone else is banging down the door. He had a semi solid first few rounds. More importantly, a solid game tomorrow possibly contributes to a win!

He's such a supreme talent.

Bit nervous about this man's loyalty. And with each omission, it gets ever so slightly stronger. Hopefully just residual trauma. Stick with it son

Yep, same. Hoping he has a big pre-season and becomes a lock for our 22.
