Player assessment
Represented Vic Country at the NAB AFL U18 Championships. He has a terrific work rate and his run and carry is game breaking. His ability to find space and work to position is very good. His time of 2.93 seconds for the 20m sprint and score of 14.4 in the beep test showed his excellent athletic ability at the National Draft Combine.

Vic Country and Geelong Falcon midfielder, who has been overshadowed by some of his teammates so far in regards to draft talk. In a draft full of smaller midfielders, Merrett has a real chance of working his way up the order, and from all reports he should impress in interviews. Is a versatile player who can play both inside and outside, and is a genuine ball winner. AFL Comparison: David Mundy.

Range: 25-60
Profile: Versatile type midfielder who doesn’t really stand out which might by why there has been limited talk about him to this point. Still skinny. But is quality. Has pace and a really nice skill set. More of an outside player but can take his turn inside. Has great leadership potential and seems to be really motivated and looks like a good find.
