Recommitted Zach Merrett [UFA 2027] - Wanted a trade to Hawthorn, but it didn't get done

[Lore]

There we go, that's the clip:

 

[HairyO]

Yes he did but he might be one of those players that dominates at vfl level but not good enough at the top level he's also slow.

Depends if you need a big body or speed. We already have Newk and Nash so Maczkenzie is ahead of him - and may well play next week.

 

[Moonatic77]

Scott said on 360 that Merrett wont talk to him. So how are they supposed to work things out?
Scott didn't go on there to talk about Merrett. He was due on the show, and was asked about the situation. He didn't bag him out.
Neither did Redman. He just said a captain should be helping the team through a tough period. Which is a fair enough statement.

The fact that your coach wont talk to your best payer is the problem. It's sort of the opposite of what a successful club does

 

[Hawkk]

Hey Zach

Zach….

Over you come

Can we bring him and Petracca for the Prelim?

You realise it's the other way around don't you?

 

[Hawkk]

Rebuilds are hard work…

He’s the 2020s version of Brian Lake.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Sam Mitchell showed how to act in a press sense

Take some lessons Brad Scott

I think we would be after a winger McGrath will most likely take Merrets spot in the middle we would have no use for him.

Apparently your CEO would’ve said all the same things Scott did if the shoe was on the other foot. So he says anyway.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Butler and Mackenzie ( pound for pound a star in time) , along with Ward and Newk and Day, I'm now not sure if we should even go for another mid.!! Even if we don't win the premiership this year, that lot are 21-24 years old.
Win win for Hawks, if Zack comes , great, if not we just keep them all and pump up Worpel contract from 4 to 5 years plus a few hundred $$$'s and I'd be happy. There's so much improvement in that lot it's not funny.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Players are rightly upset, their captain goes awol and cuts everybody off. If Zach just came out and said he wanted a fresh start and a chance at success the majority of fans would have accepted it, but he's gone about it the worst possible way from Essendon point of view. No way he can come back now

Most of it is the manager not him (I get hes still responsible but hes poorly advised) and he will come back because he has to. The players and him will live with it because they are paid to.

 

[dmark]

Lack of speed yeah

HH doesn’t lack endurance

Yes agree, yes he is slow but so was Sam Mitchell, not saying he is or ever going to be as good as Sam.

He has attributes in close (Clearance beast) that all teams need. and runs all day, even though slowly.

 

[dmark]

It is not going to be just a singular first with nothing else and it isn’t going to be 3 firsts or 2 and a significant player.

Anyone suggesting any of these are dreaming.

At the end of the day, if and thats a big if the bombers agree to a trade, Zac is contracted, therefore if we want him badly enough we will have to pay overs.

I don’t think we need him, as a previous poster pointed out, we get day back next year, Cmac will come back into form.
No need for 30yr old mid who’s best years are behind him.

 

[dmark]

Bombers are actually interested in him, and he's had a great season at Box Hill

Yes, is form in the VFL has been outstanding, would be one of the favourites to win the liston medal

I would like to keep him, he is contracted for next year hope he stays and gets a fair run at AFL level

 

[dmark]

You realise it's the other way around don't you?

Thats what managers are for, the seasons over, Scotts, Mitchell’s and Zac’s has caused this mess (pre trade period) by leaking it to the press. - geez none of the above would surely trust him again.

Breaking News

Bombers President, sent out letter to all members stating they will not be trading Zac, they won’t be able to back flip on that.

Wondering if Sam’s wife has set up a dinner date with N Daicos girl friend yet!

Probably without the emotive gaslighting

Naive to think Merrett and Mitchell didn’t know

Why would Hawthorn leak it, if that is what your implying ?

No benefit right now, don’t need the distraction whilst playing finals

 

[Wild Bill]

Crows got very lucky Mitchell was distracted by his 1st date with Zac.

34 could have been 84 is he was fully focused.

Hopefully for the Cats he has Trac over for dinner this week.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Hope Zach watched that and saw what he will be a part of

Then had a good sleep because he is so tired

If anyone who should go after Zac it's the side you beat last night.

Yeah, but he will be a Hawk

So no point
