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

[The Nostradamus]

It was a joke. The Colby text to Greenwood was legit so they made up a text from Duursma to Larkey for the announcement.

I don’t think the joke landed that well but points for them being creative with it

At least monotone Brady wasn’t up there announcing it

 

[Sillygit]

My favourite part of the board, the truly innovative ways some posters find to complain about the smallest things.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Go well young Zuursma.
Well and truly earned the spot.

It sustains me

 

[The Dingrel]

Possible yes but I hope fans are prepared for him to be inconsistent. Couple of 4 goal games and couple of 0 goal games. Will also be dictated by how well we are going as a team.

My tip is 19 goals from 16 games

His club mentor Jaidyn Stephenson kicked 38 (from 26 games) in his debut season....I reckon this kid would be targeting that!

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

It sustains me

It nourishes me.

 

[The Talent Scout]

I heard it will be Bailey Scott for both

The Nostradamus likes this!

 

[Mr north man]

Well Done Zane
If you can play like Arnold Bredis and Craig Sholl on the Half Forward Line and achieve 2 things like them being a goal kicker and Premiership Player all at North will be happy

 

[King Corey]

I thought the Larkey text gag was quality fwiw. The idea of a kid personally sledging an AFL player on debit was pretty good, bonus points for self-effacing.

Brady is way too busy for player announcements, he's on the phone 24/7 to every free agent and out of contract player.

Brady would be putting them to sleep

Rumour has it he just figured out how to use a phone

I get the issues with trading but Brady is a good bloke and perfectly good communicator imo.

Kudus, gotta say these posts are one of my favourite things about having new kids play.

Cunners appears in both of these lists you've done for our draftees. Awesome.

 

[muttley45]

Go well BGZ

 

[guapo]

Between this kid, GW and Harry for my most exciting prospect.
When he fills out, could be Curnow like. Great hands, great jump and float, sublime skills, and crazy athleticism that is impossible to match up. If he doesn’t beat you in the air, you’d better be on your toes because he’s about to make you look stupid on the ground. TT’s ceiling with the professional attitude required to fulfill his potential

Close. Bottled it on that last shot.

 

[Sphynx]

He is going to be a serious problem for sides in as soon as 18 months.

Contested marking always progresses with strength and body size and he’s already an elite mark.

For a side that fumbles a lot he just stands out as ultra clean in everything he does, the same way Sheez does.

Absolute top line prospect. Could easily be the best from this draft.

I honestly think he’s going to be Fyfe/Hird style hybrid CHF which will make him one of the most damaging players and hardest matchups in the game given his mobility and skill set.

 

[Joshen]

The floating in the side marks are going to be a joy to watch.
