EUFA EURO 2024 - Group Stage ⚽ EPL 24/25 starts Aug 17
nah, i reckon his goalkicking is good, he often times goes for the unselfish option, which is a rarity. he kicked 3 on the weekend, two of which were unbelievable. i think his problem is is just the accuracy, as he rarely has a problem hitting the scoreboard to some degree.quite literally the only thing Zach doesn't have in his game is goal kicking.
was great to see him snag 3 on a game.
guys just a weapon.

he's a team player through and through, i love him
yeah you're not wrong, i just think that he's never been bad at goal kicking, just doesn't slot too manydont get me wrong, i love him also but he avg's 0.3 goals per game for his career.
on the lower side of other elite Mids.
That is a ridiculous stat, considering Heeney is still polling most gamesHeeney had a 27 vote lead at one stage and Merrett has mown him down at warp speed

From being voted out of the team leadership group to AA skip - get around him
I maintain Goddard was a hypocritical leader.Reckon that says more about those around him than it does for Zach.
It always struck me as a good thing how he gravitated towards Goddard.
I maintain Goddard was a hypocritical leader.
Not unlike the way McGrath and co. lead last year, in being quick to direct but didn't defend themselves.
Goddard would make a great coach, in my view, because he was good at barking orders.
Well another way to see it is that getting kicked out of the leadership group was the making of him as a better leader and footballer.im still in disbelief that he was turfed out of the leadership group for joey and Raz, just shows where the club was then and how much work was required to change the culture.
Side note: also think the way woosh was not fussed with pushing goddard out was a sign of the poor culture. Goddard and Zach were great for the club during the 2016 season and they both have a high expectation of themselves as well as others which can rub some the wrong way, we needed people like that around the club holding others accountable.
Not a knock on Dys who I think has also helped the club a lot in his own way, I just think the two style complimented each other (as we are seeing this year).

He was always very hungry but maybe needed to refine his methods a bit to get where he is now.
I think Zach has acknowledged that he wasn’t going about it the right way. Like most failures, if you learn from it you come back better - and he has.It's probably worked out ok, but kicking him out was a real weird time. Daniher & Fantasia in the leadership group was also a real weird time looking back.
He was blinded
Another Dodoro win! Can’t believe people want him out of the club!Not bad for a guy selected in the 20's in 2013.
Another 10 coaches votes for Zach. 8 behind Heeney. Must be close to leading the Brownlow
I think he could be leading.
Heeney is competing with Warner and Gulden, proven pollers.
Parish has only really come good the past fortnight, and even then hasn’t been as good as Merrett (imo). If I had to guess, I’d say the B&F would be Merrett, McKay, Durham & Martin - I personally would have them top 4 - with McGrath, Caldwell and maybe Langford and Stringer in the level below those first four. Obviously that’s just a guess. But I don’t think any of those guys are going to steal votes from Zachy. Durham might pinch a few (and don’t get me wrong, he’s been unreal), but in past years it’s taken the umps a season to notice most players (meaning I think Durham’s more likely to start polling votes next year).
I think he’s a genuin shot.
