AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
A sheedy qoute and hird back rumours. -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
You think merrets approach is by the end supporters, teammates and the club dont even care if he goes. Also if purely success related adelaide should be a club merret is open to? Finished top lacking mids. If merret goes to hawks i hope they dont win a flag or get day right and butters and... -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
Change of manager. Has been handled terribly by management but guess if single goal of getting to hawthorn is the measure of success. Maybe not? Just dont think he needed to be slight handed, the manger seems to be advicing merret to trash his legacy and reputation to do so. Extremely unlikely... -
AFL Player 3: Darcy Parish
With shiel and merret gone, big opportunity for parish to get back to 2021. Can't play in same mid with them but could play the main accumulator role. Who else do we have? A 2025 pick? Tsatas? Mcgrath would need to remain at hbf as one b - grade accumulator is enough in any midfield... -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
Are we being a bit precious here? No issue with original response but need to take the emotion and constant commentary out of it. No more players/club statements/ leaks back and forth. For context captains rumoured/likely on the move Allen Simpkon Steele Merret *neale Yes merret is... -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
Zack - change manager, apologise, extend. Anything less and it probably suits the club to take the 2 firsts plus change. -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
Most well known player and in his prime. -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
Rowell met with us he is not questioned and playing in the finals. -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
Just need to let the emotions calm down for a few days and then work through every possibility and do only what is best for the club. That may be a trade. I still think its salvageable, even as captain but an extension would make that easy. We really dont need to do anything more publically... -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
Did this happen to dusty at richmond? It's salvageable. -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
Salvageable if zack extends. Plays as looking at what other clubs do, frustration at current situation. Probably steal some of Mitchell's pitch to players. On other hand zack will never be more valuable than now, so think eventually the club will explore it if no extension. Club so far is... -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
He met with opposition coach, we need calm heads as it is still salvageable. Petracca/Oliver still played at Melbourne. Ryan O'Keeffe, papley. Curnow will probably still be at Carlton. Dusty Martin even. Now whether we try and get well overs as opposed to keeping a slightly less motivated... -
Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XIII
We have a whole new performance and s & c area, think we can sell that and 2 million towards will day to help him overcome his constant injuries. -
Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott - Blindsided, disappointed, but the gloves are off - 10/9
Haha. Jeez him mentoring merret helped. Think he more likely advised him to leave. -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
Merret stop listening to lloyd and hird, writing was on the wall when the leadership meeting happened. Dividing influences still causing issues. Hitd coaching rumour, leadership meeting with merret and now criticising the club. Agree with lloyd on club looking at themselves but last step is... -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
A few things about the club 1) lloyd/hird old 2000 era seems to still be a dividing influence. Are any of them publicly imploring him to stay or called him as so called mentors. Giving him advice as former captains. Surely that advice is STAY. 2) if he leaves wait for the hird/Lloyd or... -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Follow the Journos, "Zach Said" rumours thread
Think we need to just calm things and approach in a unemotional way. Captain, 5 years left of footy, 2 still left contracted. 2 firsts - hawks plus a lower clubs forst maybe saints 1st next year (mckenzie) . Maybe a 3rd/4th as well. But lets cool the jets and see if salvageable in the next... -
Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XIII
Difference is we wasted draft picks on bad contracts, in this scenario we would be receiving draft picks. -
AFL Player 14: Jordan Ridley - Rumours he wants a trade, quickly denied by the club - 31/8
Brisbane 2026 first. Draper, Allen, ridley is a lot to be coming in. Don't know how Brisbane afford it. -
Game Day Round 24 Pt 2: Gold Campaigners v Essendon, People First Stadium, 27/8/25 7.20pm AEST
Put mcmahon back and Blakiston into the ruck. Might as well see what we can find out. Clarke fwd maybe -
Game Day Round 24 Pt 2: Gold Campaigners v Essendon, People First Stadium, 27/8/25 7.20pm AEST
U think scott and rosa can bring fwd the exit interviews to half time for a few. -
Game Day Round 24 Pt 2: Gold Campaigners v Essendon, People First Stadium, 27/8/25 7.20pm AEST
Clarke's best game, Clarke's worst game. The inconsistency of youth. Keep running and trying son still a half to make amends. Good test of resilience when having a sticker. -
Game Day Round 24 Pt 2: Gold Campaigners v Essendon, People First Stadium, 27/8/25 7.20pm AEST
Incredibly weak effort by lual. Like try and nudge him under the ball. -
Game Day Round 24 Pt 2: Gold Campaigners v Essendon, People First Stadium, 27/8/25 7.20pm AEST
Jeez lot of blokes making rosas job easy. Exit interviews and delisting decisions got a lot easier over the last 4 weeks. -
Game Day Round 24 Pt 2: Gold Campaigners v Essendon, People First Stadium, 27/8/25 7.20pm AEST
Id still delist but commitment to contest can never be questioned. -
Game Day Round 24 Pt 2: Gold Campaigners v Essendon, People First Stadium, 27/8/25 7.20pm AEST
After saying prior deserves a year, tonight is quickly changing my mind. -
Game Day Round 24 Pt 2: Gold Campaigners v Essendon, People First Stadium, 27/8/25 7.20pm AEST
Guelfi hack kick. We still suck at finals or even finals like games. Strength around contest and panicking due to perceived pressure still a club issue. Durham and merret a long way above anyone else in a sash tonight. -
Game Day Round 24 Pt 2: Gold Campaigners v Essendon, People First Stadium, 27/8/25 7.20pm AEST
Getting bodied in contests all over the ground. Clarke and prior both a couple of times just not strong enough -
Footy Dept. GM-List & Recruiting and Talent & Operations Manager Matt Rosa
