AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Wins 6th Crichton Medal - Congratulations Zach

[Mootsy]

He should have done a fully extended dive tackle?
I’m so confused.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Guy has been borderline there since his head knocks. Lost all of the aggression that made him so good around the ball.

 

[JayJ20]

Did he cop a head knock? That looks exactly like he did.

He’s been playing like this for a while. Since his concussion early last year

 

[blitzer]

I don't like picking out isolated incidents and panning guys but if he's fit that's a shocking effort. If he's not, we shouldn't be playing him.
We have a full list of available midfielders, there is no reason to be playing guys that are not fit and healthy.

Does anyone know for a fact that Kelvin is not Tim Watson?

Does anyone know for a fact that Kelvin is not Tim Watson?

I do.

 

[boncer34]

Wasn’t the only time he played statuette yesterday

 

[BrunoV]

I do.

That's exactly what I would expect you to say if you were Tim.

 

[Howard Moon]

Was this after Cameron drove his head into the ground?

No.

Amazing Chase Zerrett

The 45 seconds later one is probably worse...

 

[Howard Moon]

Shhhh

 

[Burzum]

He had many efforts like that yesterday.

 

[rumply]

Has to be injury & if it was then wtf is he doing out there? But if it's not then you have to drop him, clearly unacceptable.

 

[Shane Heard]

Now let’s all just settle down a bit shall we..

We all know there’s a virtual kaleidoscope of various problems and conundrums effecting this squads mindset atm. It’s all so blindly obvious and we all spewed forth our disappointment yesterday as emotions ran rampant. As we do being the most frustrated fans in the league by a country mile.

To single our Zac in this little snippet of play is a bit pointless and just breeds more negativity.

We could make dozens of little clips of ####ful moments the players dished up yesterday. But we have to move on.

For you’re own sanity KS...keep a lid on the anxiety mate and don’t produce this style of banal posting if you can help it.

Ta.

 

[rumply]

Sometimes examples have to be set, someone has to cop it, we can't have players doing that whatever the reason.

 

[SherbertLemon]

We pot this bloke but excuse Zaharakis?

wut...

Zach is made of the right stuff to cop it and step up.

He'll make a good captain one day. This one game is not his norm.

Agree. Was more a reply to the individual thread originally made that bothered me. Then it got put here

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Was this after Cameron drove his head into the ground?

Speaking of, how bad was it that no one remonstrated with Cameron for that dirty shit. Weak.

 

[Yoda_]

He has earnt some brownie points for his first 4 years but they are fast diminishing with more efforts like that yesterday.

 

[citizen-erased]

Amazing Chase Zerrett

heaps of those.
There is one of Myers who doesn't even raise his arms to try spoil an inside 50 that landed square on the chest of a GWS forward.

 

[Lore]

Entering their forward fifty and completely outnumbered. If he dove on one of them and took him down three other blokes would’ve been streaming into the goalsquare unhindered while Merrett picked himself up. Far too much wrong with that and it happened far too often.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Merret is an awesome tackler, normally inspirational and team lifting when he is one of those moods. Severely underdone and not ready as was Raz.
