This is what his ordinary games should look like.

Scored seven stitches around the eye for that hit.
Will the MRP bother to call for the Essendon medical report. I doubt it. Zaka kept on playing
I think he did actually get the free for that, but advantage was correctly called. There surely couldn’t have been any doubt which way the free went and he was significantly in front of the offending players.
No he didn’t.
No free, but the way he didn’t even wince, not even for a second, as his eyes were already up the field for the next option, makes me think he’s very much proving he’s not soft.
Is playing tough footy the last few weeks, love it.

BUMP…
Zaka strings a bunch of very good games together and it’s gotten fairly quiet in here?
26 disposals, 8 bounces, ELEVEN tackles. Running the lines and linking beautifully. Smashing in without the ball as well. We need him.

yup,
after Freo the guy has been on a purple patch.
His run through the middle was outstanding. He is finally starting to run free of the tags and get damaging when he gets the ball.

I swear he used to be a certainty from 50 on the run.
If he gets that back, then look out.

When was the last time he was dangerous running through the middle?
Plus topping the tackle stats, and the repeated anti-squibbing. Fantastic.

Haha, said the exact same thing tonight.
Great game from him tonight which he deserves plenty of credit for, but when he was younger he used to love a goal.
Yep no idea, seems to have lost that like Myers with the hoofing atm
Outstanding game, especially re his composure delivering the ball inside 50. 11 tackles backed up his hard running. Well done, Zacka.
Turned the corner against Richmond
Coming from punt road he would’ve had to to arrive at the ground for the game…
Good hard football is a cure for any drop in form.
Is playing tough and reaping the rewards. Yeah if he could find his touch back with his kicking for goal and into the f50 to his peak days could go up another gear.

Goodness me he has found some form
His running power in the last moth has been immense - Still think he is kicking is off.
His run and carry through the middle of the ground last night was elite, as were his kicks inside 50.

Thought he was quiet early, but then exploded in the second half. If any team is stupid enough to let him roam free then good luck to them.
