It is only April. And last year we did pull the surprise of the trade period (maybe other than the Collingwood fire sale) with the move for Dunkley. Sure, we didn't get him as we wouldn't pay overs but it was a pretty sensational and we did line that up with him without anyone knowing etc.Are we strong enough as a club to publicly register an interest in OCC/RFA player.....seems ok for other clubs ......
Where is tough talking Brasher or our CEO to contra any arguments to give supporters some.insight on wtf is going on......or is it factual and he's gone and they already know......just saying....
Sam McClure saying that Merrett was actively trying to get to another club last year.
So we know that isn't the case then.Sam McClure saying that Merrett was actively trying to get to another club last year.
A compo pick after our 1st pick (say top 6) will probably be best we get for him. Rather that than 2 late 1st round picks from Port for example.
No chance he is band 2. If he goes it will be multi year and $700k plus.This will be the sticking point for mine. IF it came down to Zac leaving and we got a Band 2 comp then we’d need to match.

He was. If the Pies where not falling over themselves to make idiots of themselves he would have requested a trade to them.So we know that isn't the case then.
Pies will not have two to offer.Depends on the club he chooses. A Carlton, Collingwood or Hawthorn would net us 2 x top 10 picks.
I laughed surprisingly loud at thisIf he wants to chase success, then he’s rolling the dice. For every Lynch to Richmond/flag, there’s many more Jaeger to the Hawkes/oblivion.
Look at Geelong and Collingwood this year. Port’s window is open but could be closed in two years.
He’s 25, we have finally recognised our list issues and seem to the addressing them, are now picking players on merit/for the future, are building what seems to be a sustainable system, have a very strong coaching group aside from a rookie senior coach (who is starting to impress), play in marquee matches and have spongy floors in our hangar. He’s our VC now and could well be offered the Captaincy next season.

the hub cost us a bit in the end i thinkHe was. If the Pies where not falling over themselves to make idiots of themselves he would have requested a trade to them.
It was seriously that bad around the club last year with a decent amount of in fighting.
Was Merrett the reason Pies got rid of Treloar? To free up salary space for Zach?He was. If the Pies where not falling over themselves to make idiots of themselves he would have requested a trade to them.

It was to free up space to sign degoey and Moore and mihocekWas Merrett the reason Pies got rid of Treloar? To free up salary space for Zach?
Yeah well if our captain can't play more than a few games in the first half of the season you'd think he might get the offer sooner rather than later.I’m really in two minds with this.
I would be shattered if he left. I think is a genuine star and the first we have had since Watson retired. If he signs on, I hope he is given the captaincy and in a few years time is rewarded by lifting the cup on Grand Final Day.
However, in the position we are in, if he does want to go, we have a real chance to build a era of success in two drafts. Say we finish 13th, we could have 5 or 6 Top 10 picks in two years. It would bloody hurt and I don’t want it to happen, but the silver lining is there.
Personally, I think he stays. Collingwood look like they maybe in our position in two years time, Port looks unlikely just because they are in SA, Carlton don’t have enough room in the cap I wouldn’t have thought, which leaves Melbourne and they are a mix bag. If and when he signs, I believe he needs to become captain of the club.
Poor defensive runningDo we know why he was kicked out of the leadership group a few years back? Can’t imagine it’d be because he doesn’t set good examples at training or doesn’t answer teammates texts like Nat Fyfe.
guessing his leadership style is/was strongly influenced by Goddard and didn’t bode well with some during Woosha’s player empowerment era.
I’d be strongly against any captaincy incentives to re-sign. Usually doesn’t work out well.
Our side has good young talent to work with.I’m really in two minds with this.

Hence Shiel and Smith addedPoor defensive running
Not directly. They backed themselves into a corner with Treloar as he was due to be on $900k plus for a couple of seasons after they backended his contract a few times .Was Merrett the reason Pies got rid of Treloar? To free up salary space for Zach?
