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

[I Remember Bluey]

Go the Zerrett

I've thought that since the start of the year, assumed it was bias.

I think the general AFL public rate the other two higher. Especially bont

 

[threeleggedgoat]

I'm as big a fan of Zach as there is and have been absolutely fanboying over him since his first season when I saw his tackling efforts.. but to be honest I'd take the Bont over him. The guy's an absolute star and is more versatile.

 

[Doss]

Cheers, Juddy.

Needs a session on best chicken wing technique with a side of eye gauge optimisation

Congrats on 50 games Zac.

This kid will fair dinkum get a quadruple double (10+ kicks, handballs, marks, tackles for those playing at home) at some stage of his career. Absolute star.

Was reading that thread yesterday. He's already been close, he has the complete game, only a matter of time.

Yep, was 1 mark and 2 tackles away vs Port.

Any ideas if Judd's lessons are hands on, or just a casual chat on Skype?

 

[srobbo]

Love this kid. Stu Crameri...pfft

   Adrian Dodoro had to work harder than most to navigate draft penalties in 2013. And he did. Zach Merrett at 26 and Fantasia at 55. Huge

Who the hell is this Shane Brown idiot? lol at Zacs' reply.

Bown. What kind of a name is that anyway?

He should have just responded with #lolnorf

**** I hate twitter.

Nah it's great, just depends on how you use it.

 

[Pweter]

Is his best footy up forward? Has played well on a wing and across half back this year and last

I must admit id like us to start forming our own mosquite fleet forward line with Colyer, Z.Merrett and Fantasia next year

If Zach Merrett becomes a forward then I'll damn near give up on this club. Big statement having stuck fat through all this recent shit.

He's a pure midfielder. Let's play him in the midfield.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I say once Heppell,Jobe etc return i can see Z.Merret spend some more time forward.

 

[Pweter]

I reckon he'll thrive even moreso as a midfielder with those guys back.

We don't have many, including those returning, who can play both inside and outside mid. Zach is one such player. He might go forward occasionally but I can't see it being for any decent period of time, his talent would be wasted compared to what he can do up the ground.

 

[Doss]

Zach won't be moving from the midfield and I don't think Jobe returning would affect that either.

I suspect Jobe might well play forward more if he does come back anyway.

Can play mid/fwd or wing.

The kid is a gun.

We have alot of other pure midfielders and this guy has more ability up forward then these other pure mids.

Id prefer to see zacka midfield then Z.Merrett.

Albeit when i mean forward i mean starting as the high half forward pushinh up the ground and with stints onball

It is great. Can follow multiple sports happening at the same time. Plus Rohan Connolly bad mouthing trolls is hilarious (as well as saying Greene has punchable head).
