u ok mate? dont do that.Would literally dive into a volcano for this guy
Honestly if he gets done for that...With Heeney likely suspended for an off the ball, non footballing action
Zac Merrett is firmly on Brownlow watch now after another 3 votes this round
Most pundits are going with it, id say its a big chance. Although the superstar tax probably sees him get a fineHonestly if he gets done for that...
I try to think about it if our best player got rubbed out for it. If Zach was done for that I'd be pissed.
I don't care if it's a chance. It shouldn't be a suspension.Most pundits are going with it, id say its a big chance. Although the superstar tax probably sees him get a fine
I don't know if they canAFL will deem it low grade unintentional
Yes, and we all know he would be.If Zach was done for that I'd be pissed.
They can do anything they want. And do. Regularly.I don't know if they can
This is why he is the captain.
Didnt WHE stuff up the kick because Merrett followed up to apply pressure? I think thats what was great about that passage of play, its not that he did anything "correct", its that he kept going and following up to impact the next play, thats why he was out on his feet afterwards.I'm going to be that guy; that was the wrong play by Merrett. He need to grab the ball take a step or two and kick over the wall Collingwood had made and at least give us a chance to run onto the ball or cause a stoppage, instead he turned it over and we were lucky WHE stuffed up the kick.
Doesn't take away from the absolute masterful game he played though!![]()

The Fox Footy guys mentioned after the game that he only had 1 possession last 10 minutes but his player ranking went up because of how many pressure acts he had.
He set the tone with follow up efforts and a number of guys lifted in this department too. Jones missing a shot at goal then nailing a pies guy and getting HTB. Martin putting in a sloppy kick on the back flank but following up and toe poking ahead of Sidebottom and giving the handball off to Merrett in the corridor.Maybe, it's a kick he really should have made as he had enough time, so it is likely that the perceived Merrett pressure had an effect.
Merrett's 2nd and 3rd (and 4th and 5th) efforts all night were fantastic
Jobes' dad will always be Timmy thoughIt was, see the video here
ps, God I hate it when Jobe keeps calling him Zachy, it's so cringeworthy.
