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

[FootySmartSimpson]

Looking forward to finally having some marking presence in our forward 50 in the coming years. Felt like every time we had an entry last season we just couldn’t take contested marks!

Our biggest weakness over the last 5 years has been the capitulation across HF. We have been running with very little marking power which has meant that for any team with an effective HB line (90% of teams) we have been a wet dream to play against.

Maybe he's saying "7000 and what???"

See you in 3 years Zane

Would make sense.....he'd be an established North player by then, which seems to be Bard's recruiting plan. Got Kayne Turner training with you in pre-season by any chance?

Zane doesn't strike me as the kind of kid who would let a club run a doping program on him.

Has far more sense than that.

I think he would rather play in some winning finals tbh.

He meant sick in the literal sense.

He could've also used the terms "sterile with irreparable motility issues" or simply said "potentially carcinogenic".

 

[Liam Boy]

Looked to be settling down in locker #7. Good fit for him

Mackay FA meant * pick moved back one spot.
* then traded 31 to move up one spot.
Ergo, Landing Mackay cost them 1.5mill in cap and pick 31

Oh good, the Essendon fan has shown up with some beige humour.

On draft night When Michael Firrito presented Zane with his jumper you can clearly hear him whisper in Zane's ear, "I feel sorry for your brother Essendon are c*nts"

 

[Orange Peanut]

Maybe he’s a trendsetter. If we own that word it has no power over us.

Careful that sort of attitude will get you blocked by North Melbourne Twitter royalty.

You can see clearly how much time I spend in the presence of Mr Musk.

We all know every kid grows up dreaming of playing alongside Xavier Duursma in a home and away game against Richmond.

I assume he’s trying to console Caddy due to the fact that Caddy BFNAAK and just got drafted by * but hey that’s just me

Is he getting traded to Geelong?

ChatGPT has given essendon supporters a whole new lease on nous hasn't it?

 

[Passmore]

I think Zane was saying..."they inject their players with all sorts of undisclosed substances....that's sick"

Or maybe....

Yes, mate * have won finals.
Yes, I know you haven't see any of them.
Yes, but your Grandad dad. Mate trust me, it happened. I think.
