Yep I heard the same. It showed in the way he played this year.Rumoured to be disgruntled at the Bombers. Could he request a trade?
Clearly wants to play as a full-time on baller, but has played most of the year on a wing with Essendon clearly preferring the Shiel, Mcgrath, Parish trio at centre bounces.
Could work something out with Carlton.
Carlton needs more offensive mids like Merrett to be threatening and take attention off Cripps. Essendon needs more grunt, although not sure who from Carlton is available (assuming Setterfield is locked in).
2 firsts surely ?
So many Essendon players worth 1 or 2 firsts you have to wonder why they finished where they did.
You don't think Merrett is worth two firsts?
Wouldn’t be hardly any worth 2 firsts but he is one that is.So many Essendon players worth 1 or 2 firsts you have to wonder why they finished where they did.
Wouldn’t even get negotiations started I’d think.Our pick 7 this year.
Hard to argue since it’s dodo but I don’t think it’s the worst deal maybe a swap of second and third rounders but I personally don’t think he is worth 2 firsts including a pick 7Wouldn’t even get negotiations started I’d think.
If Bryce Gibbs is worth 2 firsts, then Merrett is easily.You don't think Merrett is worth two firsts?
We'll give them Pick 5 and Will Brodie or Peter Wright. Both fill their needsWould be a perfect get for the Suns to be honest. Would compliment their young mids perfectly and speed up the side's development.

End of the day he's worth whatever any club is will to pay for him. The market will tell you what his worth.
Gibbs wasnt worth 2 x 1sts. He is a great example of the risk of massively overpaying.
A good player?He's a contracted 24-year-old skillful, inside/outside midfielder that has been an AA, dual B&F winner that has never finished outside the top four (besides his debut year), has captained the club probably 10+ times and has only missed two games over the last five years.
If that doesn't warrant two first round picks, I don't know what does.
I reckon clubs are scared to give up 2x firsts these days. It's backfired more times than it hasn't. Clubs got excited when first being able to trade future picks and went overboard.
I think 1x first & 1x second rounder is fair value.
