The spiritual heir to the almighty Dale Morris.
Is there anyone you'd rather running back towards a forward on the break? Morris? Hodge? That may well become his signature with more time.

It's certainly a specialty of his, which is crazy given it's probably the worst thing a defender wants to deal with.
I never doubted he was going to be a good player. Now I'm expecting him to become great.
Re: In-Zaine in the Brian
Some of his work in one on one's he had no right to halve without infringing. Inspirational stuff.
Re: In-Zaine in the Brian
Got the heart of a bulldog. Bloody tough, agile and smart and NEVER gives up. Can see him and Young forming a good partnership, and Adams if he can overcome injuries.
Re: In-Zaine in the Brian
I'm not going to go through my old posts on him, but you could really tell in TAC Moreso that his arms look too long for his body. So he can impact contests with bigger blokes without giving a free away. Very much how Dustin Fletcher's arms seemed to just creep into contests his body looked a bit too back for. So his arms are great for spoiling, but also tackling and getting spoils into the back folks heads (looking at you Taylor Adams).

Re: In-Zaine in the Brian
That epic contest when he beat Daniher was superb. He just hates being beaten. Developing beautifully

He will be the greatest of all the Cordy clan! Better than Neil, Brian, Roger and Simon (I think the fourth brother was Simon, he never actually came down and played with us so I don't even know why I know his name.) All hail the great Zaine.

Oh yeah, Ayce.
Alphabetically he's first.
Re: In-Zaine in the Brian
I think I'll PICK NUMBER 62 as my lucky number.
Hehehe! See what I did there?
Re: In-Zaine in the Brian
In fact we have seen the A to Z of Cordys.
Re: In-Zaine in the Brian
Hopefully the club puts up footage of his game today on the website during the week.

Graeme was a brother who played a few games with us. I never thought we'd find a replacement fit to tie Dale Morris boots, but gee Zaine is looking more and more a most adequate successor as our fierce warrior lynchpin versatile defender (very high praise)

Graeme was the other. Took a big speccy at the MCG one day. He was probably the closest to Zaine in style. Zaine's dad was a half back flanker, Neil was a wingman who Malthouse tried to turn into a halfback flanker until he went to the Swans and Graeme was a tallish rangy CHF.
