David Zaharakis expected it. He knew the extra attention would be coming. He knew after winning Essendon's best and fairest last year things would change. He wouldn't get the space he enjoyed at times in 2011, and wouldn't be able to breakaway with speed and class and kick long, running goals from outside 50 with as much ease. But he did think he'd handle the change a bit better than he has so far this year.
