Recommitted Zach Merrett [Re-Signed til 2027]

[Turbocat]

I mean with Selwood close to retirement and some other older players the same i agree we could fit merrett in the cap.

Not sure why we would spend a big chunk of our cap on midfield where we are well stocked though-if we bring in someone on big $ a quality ruckman to replace stanley would make more sense from a list needs point of view.

If Selwood plays on, I cant see is fitting him in.. we have alot of player that we be on reasonable money... and the three we added last year took multiple years to save for. Id be surprised if he lands at Geelong if we do not lose a high priced player

That is all down to interpretation and opinion but I’d relook at half of those if said players at Essendon were allowed to be fit which was my premise all along.

Understand the body of work shown obviously showcases what has been achieved but I’m looking at what if’s.

Bar Dusty who will go down as one of the all time greats, the guys you suggest isn’t much difference.
I mean Cotch for all his wonderful achievements has one AA (back in 2021 ironically same year as Heppell), Lynch for all the who ha has one AA the same as Joe. I could go on.

Obviously the major underlying difference is a bloke called Martin but the top end of the two isn’t that different imho

Cotchin, Jack Riewoldt & Rance would probably be locks for the Hall of Fame, I'd say Shane Edwards to but people outside of Richmond supporters don't seem to rate him as high as we do.

What connection do the Merretts have to WA, what had Jackson come here to play?

The Eagles could use him

Was pretty happy after the game last night loved playing along side Caldwell he said.

Good signs for Essendon keeping him imo

Gotta win games to get votes

Not necessarily. Gotta win games to win the Brownlow, but you can poll well in a bottom team.

if the Cats game was any indication of the year to come, can see him extending very soon & being named captain for 2022 (clock on Heppell being best 22, let alone captain, is ticking).

This is true, but has he polled in losses before? It just seems his current more "outside" role seems to be reliant on you midfield winning the stoppages. Guess we'll see, but Brownlow aside, the guy is absolute class.

on holiday to see his brother.

Only trolling.

Merrett will stay at the Bombs unless you guys are bottom 3 and Essendon might make the decision to take the compo.

I think he'll stay likes the way how Rutten coaches.

Don't think he clicked with Worsfold as with Rutten he's more direct/hands on type coach. Merret the type that likes to get feed back always looking for ways to improve his game a footy nut
