Zaharakis... the old Stanton

My main gripe with people bashing him at games is that the flogs can't even pronounce his name.

Honestly Gleeson is playing better than this bloke at the moment...

Different roles in the team. Can not compare.
Agree Glesson has some ticker.
I seriously think that Zaka is playing with an injury. Have a close look at this blokes lower legs (calf region). My old boys is bigger and that's not saying much.
Prone to lower leg injury and don't think he is running at 100%.
Give him time to rebuild that confidence.
Fair enough, but this week is "his" game as the ANZAC day specialist.
Gleeson and Ashby in my books are putting in more effort than he is at the moment and are winning more of the footy.
If his effort doesnt improve I think he might quickly find himself out of our best 22 sooner or later.

I couldn't agree more.

He misses Jimmy.

Can play. Just having a flat spot. Thinking that bomber may want them to peak later in the year, not now.

I'm going with this admittedly optimistic line. At least we're well and truly under the radar, except for articles about how the players are at "odds" with the coach etc, because, well, Essington. Thought Zaha played quite well for patches, that's a good sign for mine. Patches get bigger and soon enough there's a complete game. But we should drop him, and Carlisle too. And Chappy hardly got near it, trade at end of year.

Love to know the reasoning behind his removal (by his peers) from the leadership group?

For all this talk of lack of professional since bomber’s pressa rightly or wrongly I keep thinking Zaka.

If we ever as a club have the same moment that Geelong had in the off season after 2006 then I reckon Zaka could become a real star. While he stays mediocre we’ll probably stay mediocre

Maybe he's a crap leader?

The number of spots was reduced and Myers was elevated.

 

No. There's clearly more to it...

Trade for Dangerfield.

Trade for Dangerfield.

Rodney?

Also for people quickly wanting him banished to the vfl please name a guy we've got that going to come in and play a better game? I'm not sure we have one in the twos

Nick Kommer, not ready yet but when he is I would rather have him in the team.

He misses Jimmy.

We all miss Jimmy

i disagree with zaka not winning his own ball. puts his head over it enough and generally runs away with it, when he does win it. Some of the ***** in here are so smart they don't rate players who aren't wrestling the ball off Jobe. It's a team sport not a ******* cage fight over the ball.

While I agree when he is ready Kommer gets a game. To run through the midfield in place of Zaka??? I'm not so sure I can agree.

Is it true his middle name is Murphy?

Much maligned.

Isn’t a team player, refuses to take part in the injection of supplements.

Not sure about the comparisons with Kommer.

Zaka is an outside finisher, that's where he does his best work & when in form silky skills.

Kommer is just a mad dog who'll throw himself at any contest to win a ball out to a runner.

Two completely different make ups.
