I'm surprised by this. A list clogger IMO

Amazing what happens when you give a winger/midfielder more time on the wing/in the middle. Those kicks inside 50 to Daniher & Edwards were saucy.

 

[Rack Watts]

Yup, finally played in position, plays like a jet.
You can see he's really learned his craft from Stanton. Will be a 200 gamer.

Starting to put it together onwards and upwards for Jackson now.

slid in the draft we got him. Geelong were keen.
Can definitely play.

 

[Darealrath]

He had 19 disposals but it looked like he was everywhere. He played smart today with some of his decision making excellent. Good pressure in the tackles too

I reckon he'd be in our top 5 for decision making. Really smart footballer.

 

[Pweter]

Was really happy to see him allowed to play with more freedom rather than defensive forward.

He's a smart, skilled footballer. We needs to use his assets to our advantage. He has the potential to be a real weapon.

Great game today. Always liked this guy. The Merrets have been a masterstroke

 

[Atavistic]

So now we can put to bed this stupid talk about him not being up to it...

 

[Vindicater]

Was very good today.

 

[SydneyBomber]

Best game from him in recent memory.
Well done and keep up the tackling pressure

 

[Mercuri Rising]

thank you based proto-stanton

There's just something about Essendon and a Merrett.

Of course not, he's the new Stanton.

Of course not, he's the new Stanton.

Boooo... I was saying Boo-urns.

Played in a more suitable position - Impressed with his work rate - Got to many contests.

Never been an issue

Tackling pressure was impressive.

Good signs, he was his brother today.

Yesterday i saw something i have never seen from Merrett. Some of the plays he just outsmarted every player and delivered to ball to the forward line like no other. A few occasions he slowed down time like what Pendlebury and Heppell do.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Another pre season and he'll be ready to go I reckon.

 

[katana]

he's 5 (?) pre-seasons in now and still looks considerably smaller than you'd want a midfielder to be. i really like him as a players, but he needs burst strength and power to ever consistently find another level.

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

Loved his NFL-esque fake hand-pass to Heppell which lead to an assist - looks like he fooled everyone. More of the same please!

I loved it, he's so intelligent. Anyone who has doubted this kid is a fool. He and his brother will create a legacy for themselves at this club. Here's hoping the name Merrett stays as Essendon as it's been in the past. Both gamers.

Great game from Jacko, think he's been harshly judged when played out of position and based on how his bro has come on. Long term think he'll be a better version of Brent Stanton.
