AFL Player # 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) - Your ANZAC Day Medallist - 25/4

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2027
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 10, I Remember Bluey

 

[Pweter]

I’m still waiting for Andrew Ukovic to come good….happens to the best of us.

I remember a pass Shane Harvey did to Lloyd in his 1st or 2nd game and it was all I needed to see to know he'd become a star.

 

[I Remember Bluey]

As you all know, I am probably the most unbiased of all the "My Boy" recipients, but I will put this quote here anyway



Mark Robinson to Brad Scott: “You probably just get sick of talking about him (Merrett) all the time”

Brad Scott: “No I don’t”

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Could not have begrudge the guy if he had chosen to leave a few years ago when he instead signed a 6-year deal.
Would’ve been one of the few that I would’ve genuinely wished well and still hoped to succeed.
The guy just deserves to win.

He was convinced into staying because we were finally on the right track and had some stability under Rutten.

That lasted about another 6 months.

I’m sure he has hugely regretted the decision more than once. Hopefully he isn’t right now.

to be fair his personal form has improved enormously since rutten left.

unbelievable stuff

 

[DERO]

Elite

 

[Snake Charmer]

You need a captain who will inspire the others to run through brick walls. Zach feels like that captain

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

3 vote game, what a captain's effort! Probably second in the Brownlow behind Heeney at this stage.

 

[VelvetSledge]

I simply have no more words to describe just how unbelievably good he is

Nearly averaging a goal a game now, to go with his 30 disposal average

If your really stuck for words, you can always ask me

Indefatigable is a good one for him. He’s a rare combination of outrageous skill and grit. The kick to Gresham last night was obscene, two great right foot goals, he’s ascended and doing it all now. The goal kicking is his last infinity stone.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

He's probably leading the brownlow after this round.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

quite literally the only thing Zach doesn't have in his game is goal kicking.

was great to see him snag 3 on a game.

guys just a weapon.

I probably wouldn't be putting him at CHF and asking him to take contested marks all day (the Alwyn Davey Snr role). But the combo of elite kicking, elite vision and very close to elite hands and tackling is something special.
