Nobody told him knee. He just mentioned worst case for clickbait.

Precisely my point.

 

[DapperDon]

Didn't he tweet it's not ACL?

He had no reason to mention ACL whatsoever

"it definitely wasn't his arm falling off, so good news"

God sports journalism has gone down the can....

So 2 weeks in a moon boot then proably another 2 weeks of rehab

Will probably miss all of the JLT series and hopefully be right for rd 1.

He has sprained is ankle. He'll be fine. Try to relax.

RIP in piece.

True but this Essendon we are talking about when it comes to injuries they don't tell us the full story.

He actually does but feel free to vent spleens etc, etc.

Spleens?! That's what finished Pears. Rule a line through us

Whilst its never a good thing for one of your best players to get injured I'm relieved it wasn't a knee and if its just an ankle sprain rather than a fracture/break or one of those weird ankle injuries that crop up that take forever to heal then I'm relieved. You know Zac Merrett will have himself in the best possible shape come the start of the season no matter what. He's also not someone that is going to need tons of footy under his belt to perform. So glass half full for me.

Tried venting my gall bladder the other day - wasn’t a pretty sight...

Injury on the back of a training session where he was killing too. Hopefully not something that lingers. Mids are really starting to appear competitive.

Out of the three main players under injury cloud (Zerrett, Joe and Hooker) i worry the most about Zac. This may end up being a month on the sidelines when he is trying to build up his tank. This may result in him having a slow start to the year.

Maybe but I think it matters less than recent years, we are in a place where Parish, McGrath and Langford will be able to carry more of the load.

Make no mistake. If Zerrett is not fit come round one it will influence the game.

Everyone influences the game good or bad. He was knocked out in 1st quarter of round 1 last year and we still won

Might be a blessing in disguise?

Just want to give old mate Zach some love. All the talk of Shiel, McGrath, Langford, Parish etc is exciting and awesome but this guy is a bona fide A grader that we should never take for granted (I am not suggesting anyone does). Could quite possibly go bananas this year with the support of Shiel and a bit more out of Langford and McGrath in the middle.
