In tonight's game against the Saints, I noticed Johnson* and Hyde both zone the ball carrying opposition without actually going for the tackle. The St. Kilda player, realising that he's not going to be tackled, looks up, spots a target and delivers. Was I happy? No. no. no!
It would appear to me that there is *no* benefit of zoning your opponent in a one-one situation. So why do it? Wouldn't it be better to not allow your opponent to think by going for the tackle, hopefully rushing the disposal. The odds would then favour a turnover more than simply zoning your opponent.

* I think Johnson did this a couple of times.
