Speculation Zach Merrett [UFA 2027]

[BringFevBack2021]

Really feels like this has legs but it’s going to be a big price

Has to be two good first rounders right? 28, blue chip, captain and contracted

 

[SaintsSeptember]

i liked it when they asked Morris details regarding the Saints offer.
His reply reminded me of "A bit i reckon ".

 

[SaintsSeptember]

If Zach Merrett wants to keep driving a Lamborghini I can see the appeal of going to St Kilda and eating their entire cap.

Hopefully sponsor obligations will bring the whole deal crashing down.

According to Tom Morris Merrett wants to play finals I'm not sure why he looking at the Saints though

We played finals just last year.

Ended this season very solid too.

Don't see why we can't make finals next year.

Having said that the Merrett story is nonsense.

Has anyone at Essendon come out and shut this down?

Apparently not.

Apparently he’s nearly finished and not worth much.

Despite the fact he’s one of the best players in the comp, has almost never missed a game to injury in his entire career, is a complete and utter pro and has publicly stated he wants to play until at least his mid 30s.

Second rounder or two should do it.

No....but the Herald Sun are refusing to go with the story.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Of all the Essendon players to target, they're looking at the most untouchable one?

I'm not sure that makes sense.

They would have a better chance at getting Parish imo

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Would be kind of cool if Merrett and StKFC got together on a presser and stated " After careful consideration we would like to announce that Tom Morris is a ......... "

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

No....but the Herald Sun are refusing to go with the story.

You think Robbo would be all over this by now.

 

[Podbox]

You think Robbo would be all over this by now.

Not if he finds it negative towards Essendon.

According to Tom Morris Merrett wants to play finals I'm not sure why he looking at the Saints though

Saint are 56 wins in the last 5 years (11,13,11,10,11) without a midfield. If Merrett backs himself he's adding 2 wins to that by himself.

All we'd then need is a ruck (Marshall is a CHF) and one more midfield grunt (Macrae/Parker?)

 

[boncer34]

Meh. Good luck to the Saints.

 

[boncer34]

From Merretts position though, hes 28 years old, nearly 29. He wants finals and opportunity.

Whether thats at the saints or not remains to be seen, but Essendon booting out experienced forwards and defenders doesnt help his chances.

Nathan Buckley with some very interesting comments on SEN this morning. Stating Merrett has knocked back multiple offers elsewhere over his journey (Carlton came hard from memory) and is now not getting the love back from the dons in terms of who they are walking out the door.

Clearly, there is some sort of interest in exploring options from Zac Merretts side.

This would be devastating for Essendon.

Why?

This was quite the scoop from Tom Morris.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

This was quite the scoop from Tom Morris.

I heard he doesn't want to play finals cos the flights to Europe out of Melbourne are much cheaper before the school holidays

 

[astrowizzle]

Not sure what you're saying here. 7 is very close to his value.

So the bont is worth pick 9

 

[Daka]

Saints have denied reports they are interested in poaching Zach Merrett according to Jon Ralph.

Tom Morris losing some credits?

Did he have them to begin with?

 

[Daka]

Did he have them to begin with?

He's mail is usually pretty good he got the Hardwick quitting as Richmond coach before anyone else.

 

[dmc333]

Does Merrett moving to the Saints help or hinder Brand Merrett?

Does he have a cooking show?

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Does he have a cooking show?

Darren Jolly went on "the Block" mid season while he was supposed to be a ruck coach for the Saints.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

He's mail is usually pretty good he got the Hardwick quitting as Richmond coach before anyone else.

He is not mail.
( He's being a shortening of He is ).

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

So basicly Saints made an enquiry and Merret told i'm not going any where

That's all she wrote Tom Morris lost some credibility
