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

[Lore]

There we go, that's the clip:

 

[TONYC3163]

Morris says that if it was McKenzie instead of hh it would have gotten done. Morris has been hawks mouthpiece so maybe they are going to speak to McKenzie.

LOL

 

[FootyGuru]

I reckon Morris has been Petroros mouthpiece so it shows he is is pivoting to put pressure on Hawthorn again.

Will hawks withstand the pressure being put on by petroro and Mitchell.

 

[FootyGuru]

No one in Hawks best 23 has any desire to play for Bombers. Will need to be more value in pick combos. Or he stays.

According to the media Lewis has not been ruled out by either club.

 

[FootyGuru]

What time tonight does Essendon announce their new captain? Do they have a ceremony to strip the captain (current club B&F champion...again) and then tell him this is why we held you to your contract?

I’m surprised Merrett hasn’t stepped down. But there are more pressing things going on at the club, like bending hawthorn over further in a trade.

 

[HairyO]

Wonder if Mitchell can get his way and demand Merrett gets to hawthorn at all costs. He made a promise to Merrett.

What was the promise Mitchell made? When Merrett and his manager approached Hawthorn did they promise that they could get Essendon to agree to the trade?

Hey don't drag us into this. Mackie offered every first we had and after it was clear we weren't getting over the Sydney offer we bid them good day. No harm no foul

Apparently its not enough to offer all your picks. You need to just keep offering more and more and more no matter what, until the media decide its reasonable. Even though the club have said no. What matters is what the media say.

Even if the player approached you and all you said was that you were interested.

Ahh yes, forget winning finals... its all about trade week. My bad

Gotta be ruthless like sam
Mitchell.

It’s weird hawks fans love the ruthlessness but not when it’s happening to them.

Hey I like that you guys knocked back what was clearly overs for a 30 y.o mid. I just hope my club doesn't go all in and give more.

I agree. It was overs for a 30 year old receiver, but Mitchell has made promises and we know how ruthless he is. I don’t care if Merrett goes or stays, but if essendon actually want to trade him they have hawks right where they want them. Mitchell ruthlessly pressuring his club to get the deal done.

Yeah while i tend to agree it's a good offer I can also understand reluctance on Essendons part. He's the only thing holding them together

 

[Foxx]

Cbf reading, are people doing the thing where they say pick 9 is pick 14 when really they’re still getting the 9th best player they’d be picking from anyway?

I suppose if you went to a nightclub and the best looking girls were all taken, then the fuglys would be the hottest ones there.

Yes.

He wants to get the hell out of there and he's holding them together? Thats bizarre.

Like most splits.

 

[Heaps of fun]

This doesn't happen.

Trading is a two step process. The club and the player need to agree to terms, then they work towards satisfying the club for a trade. Much like CJ. He has been wooed and an agreement made.

If Essendon want MacKenzie you need to woo him. It’s not up to Hawthorn to convince him to leave.

Actually it’s the complete opposite. Essendon doesn’t need to do anything

If you want merrett, it’s part of your job.

It’s gonna depend, isn’t it..

Err no club is going to tell a required player hey we want you... but we also want you to play for another club because we want someone else more... That's Chris Scott levels of Mission Accomplished

 

[jannissary]

if it was overs, you wouldn't have been chasing him as hard as you had been.

When is Hawthorn offering all their picks?

I mean he's coached multiple flags and grand finals. Maybe he's got some idea.

Errr, the JOM trade, the Wingard trade would suggest Hawks have form in overpaying...

Oscar Allen meeting with Mitchell - Leaked
Harley Reid meeting with Mitchell - Leaked
Zach Merrett meeting with Mitchell - Leaked

I'm seeing a trend here...

Everyone hates Hawthorn
