Eden Zanker

Yeah, and a couple other forwards as well that have been disappointing for a lot of the year as well.

Eden Zanker, I know she had a couple of those weeks where Mim Strom was either injured or out.

She played a little bit more in the bowl and was scoring okay, but she's been disappointing at Freo this year.

And, and also, one, I know we, we like watching her, but Blahe Bo has been- ... pretty quiet by her standards after what we saw last year.

which is important, but they need to find some decision makers and some ball users.

Otherwise, the decision to bring someone like Eden Zanker in is basically a waste because they can't get the ball to her often enough or well enough for her to really impact the games the way she otherwise might be able to.

So, yeah, it's a...

They're probably just going to miss finals this year, I reckon, unless they can cause an upset over the last three rounds.

Yeah, like you said, they've got a few players.

They've got, uh, Eden Zanker come down from Melbourne, a good target up forward.

Yeah.

But yeah, it's, like you said, there's too many gaps and, uh, yeah, I don't think they're in the same stratosphere as us, unfortunately.

One here from Grant.

Should I trade Whitford to Purcell, Charlie Thomas to O'Shea, or Zanker to McDonough? Jesus, you've got to get rid of Eden Zanker.

You can't have 20s.

And that's the problem at the moment.

Every year she continues to challenge and improve and you know she's in our leadership group this year so she's been one of those incredible athletes she's worked so hard she's even yesterday we had our review and she was the last one to leave still checking in post session as to things that we can do and she can do to help the team get better I thought she was a really important conduit for us going forward and we're really you know pleased with how you know she just continues to inspire those around her as well and yeah she's an important player for our forward line

It looks like watching you play, it looks like you're still searching for that connection piece to get Eden Zanker more involved in the game.

Obviously, she's a trump for you up forward, but just being able to get her on the end of some of those chains that people like Megan Coffman are involved in is still a work in progress for you.

Yeah, absolutely.

She's the beneficiary of some fantastic ball work and delivery, but she finishes her marks and she finishes her shots on goal and she's amongst the top goal scorers in the league at the moment.

So congratulations to a player who looks like they are realising their power, looks really fit and ready to attack the footy and is able to straighten up their attack, you know, following the exit of or the trade of Eden Zanker.

Taylor Harris can get up the ground.

They seem to have a really good connection.

Obviously, I understand it's taken the reins again of being captain.

I thought Eden Zanker's really starting to flow well with that midfield group.

She's took a few marks and kicked a few goals, which is what we want from her.

We know she's so good.
