How many goals did Cloke kick on him? I would be surprised if Zac had more than 30 goals kicked on him all year. Darren Glass had about 25 goals kicked on him this year. Weather he got help or not is irrelevant because he does a job. All players have goals kicked on them and all players stuff up occasionally too. He is much better than you say he is and when he has been out of the team, it has really stuffed up our structure and the backline set up. He will be hard to replace if he leaves.samoht wrote:How often do individual kpp kick bags against defensive sides (like St kilda) with all the flooding taking place?dragit wrote:There's not liking someone, then there's ridiculous statements like this…samoht wrote:just ask Rocca who took him apart and Zac hasn't really improved since.
He was 18 when Rocca kicked 8 on him & he hasn't had a bag kicked on him since… He's not the greatest player to ever pull on a jumper, but he is tall, fast and very good at spoiling, something we currently don't have a replacement for.
The point is one on one he's nothing.
He offers no resistance.
Rocca is in the past okay .. but Cloke, Setanta, Waite - they mark at will against Dawson. It's ridiculous to overlook that... before you refer to my observation as ridiculous.
The problem wasn't so much Zac. The problem was getting smashed at stoppages and clearances. When the ball comes into the forward line quickly because your mid field is getting beaten easily, most backs would struggle one on one.
It is easy to say he's crap, great he's going but much harder to propose a reasonable solution of who will replace him.
