Back in 2016, this Irish lad attended the International Combine, where he showed his athletic traits at the 2016 NAB AFL Draft Combine, running a 9.56 3km. The 189 centimetre prospect was sought after, with three AFL clubs chasing his signature - Geelong prevailed and signed O’Connor as a Category B Rookie.
In 2017 he was elevated to the senior list where he played 2 games in his first year, another 5 games in his 2nd year, then locked in a spot in the misfits back six in his 3rd season before being elevated to the leadership group at the start of the 2020 season
When the team runs out for tonights preliminary final, Merrick will run out in game #50 in the hoops, and unless home sickness sets in he looks set to play many more in the guernsey
