Player Watch #44: Cameron Zurhaar - [AFL.com] NM offers 5yr deal - CZ interest from SYD/GC - CZ mgr says 'wants to see improvement' & 'team success'

[King Corey]

It's counter intuitive right now but I feel if Cam signs with us the pressure will lift and his best football will follow.

 

[Possession]

Yeah we all know he's home almost playing injury free footy so he's right for wherever he is next year. He is not helping the so called team improvement and success pfft.

Honestly can we just fold now. Or offer to be the Tassie team.

Log off.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Yeah we all know he's home almost playing injury free footy so he's right for wherever he is next year. He is not helping the so called team improvement and success pfft.

Honestly can we just fold now. Or offer to be the Tassie team.

Criticism is fair. This kind of comment should be banworthy. Anyone tempted to say it - especially in the cool light of day when you’ve got time to think about it - should really think about it more carefully. And then not.

I know of you as a fair dinkum supporter mate.

That's understandable emotion getting to you right now. Just take a short break from following the team at these kinds of times I reckon.

Come back to it when the severity has dropped a bit in your mind.

The north Facebook supporter pages are absolutely flooded with similar comments from people RE: merger/fold.

Now, I don’t know what the future holds for our club but I think many are drawing comparisons from Fitzroy days and it doesn’t help being a small club the afl hates.

Comments probably come from a place of heartache, despair and frustration.

I’m at the point where watching one quarter breaks my heart and I can’t go on…

But that’s just me

One of our greatest weaknesses is the mentality of people within the 4 walls that we are a small irrelevant club.

Brady Rawlings subconsciously embodies that mentality, because he is happy to pay overs to B and C Grade players to get to them to the club. What he should be doing is using the same logic as any other club, are you good enough and do you command that contract.

If players want overs to come to us, then tell them to heck off, we don’t want players only their for a pay cheque, we want fully committed individuals.

If that means we struggle to acquire players, then that’s fine, use the draft and build within. When it turns then cash in on players that can smell some success and aren’t their just for an easy pay day.

You can leave any time you like.

Choice of continually losing and blindly follow a team that's affecting my mental health over the last 5 years or folding I'll take folding over so called non existent rebuild. Time to clean out the board and other people at the club.

 

[koshari]

Yes I understand that. I am just assuming the AFL will make the compensation at best end of first round.

They dont "make" the compensation anything,the team thats courting hims offer does.

a clean out is not the same as closing the club.

but if you're going to sit around here saying that you want the club to fold cause it's bad for you mental health then, again, the doors right there.

It will only ever fold because of people like you

 

[koshari]

I think some of you have forgotten a player we have sitting in the wings, who has yet to debut. Brayden George can easily develop into a CZ type of forward.

I would like to see him develop into the kind of player that can get on the track!

 

[koshari]

It’s like at times he loves the club and plays with heart and then in other moments realises he’s on the way out and ball watches.

That saying Larkey absolutely burnt him for a walk in goal in the 3rd that Zurhaar should have baked him for.

I have seen em both do this to one another, the synergy isnt great between them.

 

[koshari]

There used to be a time he would commit to the hard ball gets

He used to love going the bump, times have changed.

 

[koshari]

Offer him a 2 year deal massive overs. A mil a year maybe, we are strugling to pay the min TPP. Shows the younger brigade there is a bit of suger for someone that sticks fat. And he can still exercise FA in a few years where we will really be wanting to top up.

Wouldn't be surprised if bumps were a no no from the coaching dept. only the perfect ones go unpunished by either fines or suspension.

Agree in every sense with this comment, it’s bad enough this club has been copping it from brain dead opposition supporters and media flops who are doing it for click bait.
that comment is basically removing 100+ years of history for a group of plastic franchises

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Nah the AFL decided what band compensation based on the contract. And what I am saying is the AFL will do last minute change to the rules to ensure we don’t get band 1. But me be sarcastic seems to have gone over a few peoples heads here. I didn’t realise we all had immense faith in the AFL to uphold rules that would benifit us. My bad

 

[King Corey]

mighty mick is a genuine dyed in the wool supporter. Can vouch. We'll all do it tough at times during this palaver being so emotionally invested.

Go easy.

Reckon Cam still loves a “bump” every now and then
