Zac

Post: # 744650Post Harvey To Hayes »

Is going from strength to strength and has been an absolute revelation. Has grown in confidence and is growing in stature on a weekly basis. His one percenters and discipline today were outstanding and he now has composure when in possession. Kudos to both those responsible for picking him as a roughy and to SOS for obviously working with him so diligently, he has gone from a left field rookie to a player who at this rate could be an integral part of our set up for many seasons to come...

This season has been so much fun so far...


The future's so bright I've got to wear shades...

It was great listening to MMM. Every single time he touched it, they all mused that they couldn't understand how Hawthorn let him go.

Brilliant.

Very impressive today I thought.

Is Max still versatile enough to play on the smaller forwards?


Maybe this year?

Hear hear. Thought Zac and Chipper in our best 5 today.

Max returning will allow Chipper to take a turn through the midfield, which will add to the run and carry that was lacking today

Room for Max and Zac in the side, no question

Thought Zac was great but also saw it as a real breakout game (prob not the right term) for Chips too, taking on big Browny one-on-one.

SOS - credit.

That was my thought prior to the game. Now I'm just about certain. Max and Zac on the talls. Sort out the others after that. I reckon he was a steadying influence today.

The way he bumps players should be sent out on and AFL DVD. Hits hard and clean. Doesn't hit in the head. Seems to time it well. I love the way he plays.


Yeah nah pleasing positive

Zac is a bit like Dustin Fletcher with those long arms that seem to get to every contest.

Terrific game from him.

Actually thought he did well one on one today and also provided a steady head a couple of times when we were being wasteful with the ball.

Until today I would have agreed with you.

No
So if we need him we can use either Zac or Max in the

a) ruck
b) defence
c) midfield
d) up forward.

Zac and Max can play b)

JB can play all four.

You want to completely stuff our flexibility?


Lance or James??

Have you seen him live yet?

Works really hard off the ball, and holds his own well and truly

Hawks wouldn't mind him at the moment.

I just said there wasnt room for all 3, didnt say who should be dropped?

I dont know, for me it is a very interesting debate that will need to be thought over long and hard and trialled in different ways.

Please dont put words in my mouth. Some here can discuss objectively without black and white point of views.

So can Zac be elevated after Round 11 to the senior list from the rookie list permanently under the new rookie rules is my question?

I think he still needs to be replacing a LTI player (ie. Allen/X).

ie. so Zac can play finals.

Was really impressed with him today. He's been fantastic for us this year and up until a few weeks ago I was still a bit uncertain how comfortable I'd be with him in the finals. However, I'm starting to feel much more comfortable with him to the point where I'd be pretty happy to have him down back come finals times.

Thought today was his best well-rounded game that he's played compared to his first six or seven games which were very much just defensively orientated.
