Circle Zerk.

That is what’s happening, yes

Brandon

It works

 

[eorl]

I often go with BeeZee(Tee)

 

[owen87]

It works

Let’s go Brandon?

 

[Blind Turn]

What about Bran The Three-Eyed Raven or ‘Bra’ for short.

 

[frodos gardener]

Good for a candy sell each week, too.

 

[brain taylor]

Imagine having 'Zerk' as part of your name, yet people will instead take s**t derivatives of another of your names because of a similarity to a foreign head of state from decades ago...shakes head

ZERK

is this your first time hearing a nickname or something?

 

[brain taylor]

I often go with BeeZee(Tee)

beezee, beezer, bees knees, bee movie, jerry seinfeld from bee movie, jerry, jezza, jez.
it's jez now you're all welcome

Thought it was his worst game over the past 2 years. Let's see how he responds

Bonnie Toogood was MC at the ground today, she called him BZT (beezeetee). The other MC called him Zerk…

 

[Lore]

‘Thatch’ kicks pocket goals it seems

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Very impressed with the way he pushed on through injury and still played to a good level.

 

[Megabattimus]

For a guy who hurt his ankle early, and was described by Ricciuto as having a wooden leg when he came back on the ground, he was really good!

Fingers crossed he gets up for Anzac Day!

 

[Old Campaigner]

At least he gets a nice long break to rest up and get the ankle right

 

[ghostdog]

BZT is quickly becoming one of those so-called 'heart and soul players.' 100% commitment and as tough as nails. Had to do the hard yards to get there, and now that he's there you get the impression he's not just going to let go.

 

[windyhill]

Essendon fans FINALLY getting around Zerky...

 

[ant555]

Played with a wooden leg and then no leg . What an effort.

 

[citizen-erased]

Off the ball he reads the play so well. Knows where the drop will be before his opponent so gets that half step on them.

Intercept game is A grade

 

[craffles]

Think he has really benefitted from being near Ridley and Laverde. Definitely didn’t see him reaching the offensive level he is capable of. Kudos

 

[Westlo]

No way Saints jump us if Zerk was playing

 

[citizen-erased]

No way Saints jump us if Zerk was playing

It was their 150th. Had to throw them a bone

will be monitored after injuring his ankle in Essendon's win over Melbourne on Saturday.

McPherson said he will be given every chance to prove their fitness.

"'Thatch' suffered an ankle injury on the weekend," he said.

"On a modified program early in the week, but the longer break gives him a good chance to be available to play."

played the rest of the Dees game out quite well. but not the worst week to need a rest.
Lav to Mihocek
rest of their side are short people, or they bring Krueger in

 

[Zach Package]

Anyone else think he keeps rolling ankles because he’s a two footed jumper and can’t land?
