Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2027
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 10, I Remember Bluey

 

[DERO]

Daniher had a better year this year yet ended up with less votes.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

According to the Carlton board Zac only finished ahead of Cripps because he had no one to take votes off him.

Also whined that Bont plays in a better team . Can't have it both ways

 

[Maddogm]

Because there are so many prolific vote getters at Carlton right now...

To be fair they did have 2 players above 3 votes


to our 4

 

[Red Black and Blue]

According to the Carlton board Zac only finished ahead of Cripps because he had no one to take votes off him.

Except every opposition player. He poled 11 votes in games we lost.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Finished on 19 votes 1 less then the Bont.

Kid will win a brownlow soon.

 

[Philzsay]

19 Votes is actually more votes than Wanganeen received when he won it back in 93.

 

[Doss]

It's honestly pretty bloody hilarious. Cripps got 18 votes and he is an absolute star. As good an inside player as there is in the comp, all at the age of 20. They should just celebrate that.

Instead they choose to focus on Merrett finishing a single vote ahead in an award often derided as meaningless anyway, and probably put it down to some pro-Essendon AFL conspiracy or something.

Jesus ******* wept.

Daniher had a better year this year yet ended up with less votes.

He didn't have many huge games but had a lot of good consistent ones. A lot of games where kicked ~2 goals. He actually polled votes in the 2 games i expected him too. Melbourne and Carlton wins. Goals are going to be a lot easier to come by next year and I expect he might poll a few extra but as a key forward its not easy to do well in the brownlow these days.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Will win it next year.

What a freak

He'll be better again, but I reckon he'll finish with less votes once he has a half decent midfield to 'complete' with. He was a big fish in a small pond this year.

 

[MattyB3150]

Did anyone notice that Zac Merrett got 1 less vote then the entire Brisbane Lions team combined...and yet we finished below them!

 

[Seb78]

Could've snuck at least 1 vote against the doggies round 22 I reckon.

35 Disp
5 Marks
8 Tackles
1 goal

He was unlucky in that game.

The aflca, herald sun and age all had him in the best 3

will be a bigger fish in a big pond next season.
Kid has footy smarts, durability and above all else applies 4 quarter efforts.

 

[efcboy]

Well played by our list management team - extending his contract before he polled 19 votes and upped his market value!

So true.

***2 hours after Brownlow night finishes***
Zerrett: So how about a few extra $s Dodoro?
Dodoro: Yeah sure in 5 years muahahahahahah

 

[yaco55]

The length of the extension makes sense as it ties in with the new TV rights deal which is 2017 to 2022 - Good for Zac who will be a RFA at the end of 2021, so he can field offers from other clubs.

That's blasphemy. Please see yourself out.

 

[Bombermania]

I would have to ask who took votes off Cripps?

They are both very good young players that both sides can build their future around.

 

[caboose]

I feel you dawg.
I wonder what the highest amount of votes for a wooden spooner is?

Just from a very quick check (of the 3-2-1 system years), I think it's 26.

That was in 1936.

 

[Conor Mckenna]

Was in bed last night with the Mrs and..




Never mind

you pretended she was Zerrett? Or Hepp? It's all good man...Had similar probs with Wanganeen...

 

[Conor Mckenna]

**** was good seeing Zerrett on the leader board for 10 seconds

Make that 10 seasons!!!!

 

[daffo]

Getting 19 votes was just amazing considering we finished last. What a start to his career. Let's hope he can get an AA nom next year.

 

[windyhill]

Well done Zac, fully deserved pay rise as well.

 

[Pweter]

Seriously though.

I am king

Sorry dude, 19 > 15 - 18. Wrong is wrong, you're still a pauper.
