If that's going to be the case, then teams finishing bottom 10 should have their Band 1 FA's off the table.Not sure if they are, but they absolutely should. The first part of the draft should to be uncompromised or as close to as possible. Perhaps a mid first round pick for elite FA's is reasonable because clubs are probably accepting of having pick 11 being pushed back to pick 12, but picks 1-10 should be untouchable. The idea of a club pushing out a FA to gain a high end compo pick at the expense of other struggling clubs seems like a flaw in the system. Having said that at least Merrett is a genuine A grade player, which beats the same conversation we were having all last year about Brad Crouch, which was just ludicrous, and thankfully sanity prevailed.
Wasn't aware of his mums condition. If she's in Cobden the cats might actually be a good fit. Should have plenty of cap with retirements, Selwood shaped midfield hole imminent, still get a couple of more years out of some of our older brigade, short drive to see the fam, could even live on a farm like Hawkins.Sounds like he needs to stay in Melbourne to take care of his mum, and unless there's another Vic club pushing and can offer close to what Essendon will is there any real point? Still only 25, durable, and if Essendon's rebuild isn't prolonged he might be playing finals in a few years anyway.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Richmond move on some older players to have a crack though.
yeah, well we have.......a better jumper.Wasn't aware of his mums condition. If she's in Cobden the cats might actually be a good fit.

He'll have a bit to consider I guess
Merrett is elite. Merrett and Ridley are probably our only elite players at the moment. With where the game is headed, elite ball users are going to be worth a lot and Merrett is one of the best kicks in the game.How damaging are they? I don’t look at stats I look at how good the player is, how much influence he has etc. As I said he’s a very good player but not elite for me. For $900k a year I’d want very close to elite.
Maybe he’s just been very average when he’s played us as that’s when I would have watched him more closely.
Watching the Roos v Dogs game on the weekend. im starting to think Bont assesses whether his services are needed or not.Merrett is elite. Merrett and Ridley are probably our only elite players at the moment. With where the game is headed, elite ball users are going to be worth a lot and Merrett is one of the best kicks in the game.
How he plays against Bulldogs doesn't determine how good he is though especially considering we get smashed everywhere when we play you guys. Bulldogs is the only side he's never polled a brownlow vote against.
It's like me saying Bont and Cripps are not elite because they don't play well against Essendon.
Before the outrage, we're the only side both Bont and Cripps average less than 20 disposals against. We're also the only side Bont has never polled a brownlow vote against.
All 3 players are still elite though.
Zach Merrett if he wanted to move interstate he would really fit in well with the WCE game plan, play style.
Playing at Optus would suit him as well.
My new favourite posterHave thought about this a bit more, and actuallyreally do hope that he stays,as he's exactly what Essendon needs as a club moving forward. Would love him at Geelong - on my wish list of players -, but, not at the expense of robbing his current club of their possible future captain/culturally impacting their development.Bont to Essendon,
Merrett to me is like Cripps to Carlton,Selwood to Geelong, Shuey to WC, Pendles to Collingwood, Dusty to Tiges etc.etc. He's their talisman, and it'll set the club a back a long time if he does leave.
I'm inclined to think that he doesn't go now, given how he's been playing, the clean out of Worsfold and those linked to the supplement saga and the spark and flair the young Essendon side is showing already. Reckon he re-signs mid year or so, and it'll be better for the comp as a whole

I don't think i can handle Zach leaving. Wanganeen was hard enough.
This will be like that.
He's better than Macrae.
I know for a fact $900k by 6 has been on the table at bombers since February
Blues have suggested $800k by 5
his manager has said any contender matching the900k by 6 will likely get him
Weird game to use as he’s completely butchering the ball so far.If anyone wants evidence that Zac is elite just watch that first quarter
His pick up in a full pack of congestion was a sight to behold.

Made me chuckle as well.Is this for real?
Well this is going well. 5 turnovers and running at 31% disposal efficiency.If anyone wants evidence that Zac is elite just watch that first quarter

Yes. Because he is.Is this for real?
Yes. Because he is.
Yes, you really should. Merrett is a far more damaging player than Macrae. Look at those who are disagreeing with me. People who hate Essendon by admission and/or Dogs fans.Take the goggles off.
I would be pretty sure that the Bulldogs would not entertain any thought of getting Merrett if it meant losing Macrae.Yes, you really should. Merrett is a far more damaging player than Macrae. Look at those who are disagreeing with me. People who hate Essendon by admission and/or Dogs fans.

Best you all avoid. We'll spare you the misery.
5 years for Zachy please.
