I reckon it's a job to smoke out who Chompers Morris' contact is.
Throw a few ungettable names around & whoever was fed Merrett's name will be summarily executed by RTB immediately.
It better not be the trainee receptionist.

Saints defeated an injury riddled Carlton team. We get all the claps! Far out some people really overrate our list on here.If you think the Carlton game was a dead rubber, you didn't watch the game closely enough. I understand the no mental pressure to perform bit, but with the kitchen sink being thrown and no incentive to win, the boys got the job done. Worth plenty.
Only we now have agreements and avenues to grow, North picked up the angry racist bloke that punches things instead.
No one goes full North like North.
I'm pretty sure GAJ did that to the Suns. When his contract started to reduce significantly he announced he'd like to go home.He's on a six year deal, which is said to be front ended, so he's not going to free up a lot of gap for the bombers.
If we "can" somehow pry him out it leaves a lot of questions about player contracts.
Why would you want to front end a contract if they can walk away from the back end?
We did have 6 of our own best 22 out.Saints defeated an injury riddled Carlton team. We get all the claps! Far out some people really overrate our list on here.
I’m interested in how many wins Saints can secure in the first 12 rounds. Not backend wins once the season is gone.

The 20-30 range for that draft is unbelievably good. 5 of them have made the AA40 as well as Fritsch (pick 31). TDK and Balta in there as well. Meanwhile of the top 20, only picks 1&2 have made it. Everyone keeps on saying how deep and even the draft is, maybe it will turn out in a similar fashion.7+8 Clark and Coffield 2017, Moses is still a boy
100%I suspect 95% of the leaks in these situations are the player managers trying to gain leverage
Times 10100%
Whilst it is his job to get clicks, I highly doubt he's completely made this story up just to do so.Just on the Merrett trade talk i'd say Tom Morris achieved what he wanted and that was clicks on X & speculation with his name in lights well done Tom & BF posters as you have Saints & bombers talking about it.
OK - we'll do nothing then and give our excess money back to the AFL or pay underperforming players twice what they are worth. I'm sure that will improve our standing in the league.If you need to stick a big neon sign pointed at Moorabbin saying lots of free money here if you can kick a football….
I’d say it’s because they can’t seem to sell the club in a better way to land top talent.
the fact we threw stupid money at multiple free and pre agents and have struck out isn’t a great sign

You can't deny the facts - we are a small Melbourne club, we do not get the benefits from the AFL that bigger membership clubs get, therefore we are not seen as a destination club for elite talents.
So we have to offer well overs to even get a look in or settle for chasing the good to very good rather than the elite (eg Crouch & Hill) or look at risky players (either injury or behavioral - Hannebery, Cerra & De Goey, Thomas).
Then hopefully we can get lucky with drafting, play some finals for a couple of years in a row and then maybe just maybe we'll look more attractive to the elites in the game.
But until that happens its chuck money and hope someone is prepared to pick it up.
If top clubs had the choice of midfielders between Merrett or the Saints midfielders, who would they pick..I think we know the answer. Get him if we can.
If there are advanced talks then you’d think there’s got to be a big push via his manager or player.This is assuming we get pick 8 to start with.
Ultimately it is 7 & 8 for Merrett & 9. Which is basically Merrett for 7. Dreaming. They would ask for 7, 8 & Phillipou.
Not sure why saints would even go for him at this stage. Morris probably got wind of some half conversation and reported it, which is fair enough. But 99.999% chance it goes nowhere, which would for the best.
Hopefully Zac comes out and refutes it. You should never dish out first rounders for someone nearing 30 unless you’re contending in GFs.Just on the Merrett trade talk i'd say Tom Morris achieved what he wanted and that was clicks on X & speculation with his name in lights well done Tom & BF posters as you have Saints & bombers talking about it.
