Zane Zakostelsky scored just 29 in R6 as a late inclusion for the ill Darcy Fort — limited TOG, vest-level output, and burned approximately 1800 teams who used the VC loophole on him. Brisbane lost by 2 so the game was no blowout; he simply did not get the time or role. His contract extension to 2028 confirms long-term Brisbane plans, but role security game-to-game remains as inconsistent as ever. Avoid until he earns a permanent senior spot.
