I just don't think Zac has enough size to consistently play as a midfielder - not just height, but also physical power.Fair points and I think same about size and power. The other issue I have with him as a forward is his lack of marking ability. Most of the good small forwards can take a decent mark and have that as a weapon or have that express pace.
I would suggest that he and Jack Martin should be looking to wax the role of high half-forward with the odd stint in the middle.
And if I were Zac, I would spend some of my summer hours at Melbourne Storm and learn how to tackle consistently.
In think he is trouble with Honey and Durdin now in the frame for selection too and view them as more natural forwards.
Martin is a talent but needs to contribute more than he does...
