Yeah, but is he running? Or just getting caught trying out some new Japanese sex machine?

Yeah but Rossi can sit down on the job.
Yes.

Yes.
We can’t keep these list cloggers.
Part of good list management is picking the right players, the other part is getting rid of players who can’t make it, to enable turnover to increase the probability of finding more players that can make it.
Plus with free agency and delisted free agents there is greater player movement, and significabtly less need to hold on to these ‘development’ players or to recruit ‘project’ players (if there ever was)

Essendon Football Club would like to thank Jackson Merrett for his commitment to the Club during his seven years with the Bombers.
The Club advised Merrett on Monday that he would not be offered a contract in 2019.
Merrett joined the Club with pick 31 in the 2011 National Draft and played 56 games in the red and black.
Senior Coach, John Worsfold, praised Merrett for his efforts throughout his career.
“On behalf of the Essendon Football Club I would like to thank Jackson for his commitment to the club,” Worsfold said.
“The attitude and leadership he has shown both on and off the field is truly commendable. He has outstanding character and has helped to mentor and support the younger players on our list.
“Jackson is a highly respected player of this club and we wish Jackson all the best with his future endeavours.”

that’s a bit early, maybe???
At least he can say he got to kick a goal while playing in a winning Essendon side on Anzac Day. Not many people can say that

Saw an email with the subject “Jackson Merrett statement” and immediately thought something disrepute-y or tragic had happened. Subject wording is an underrated craft.
Anyhow I guess it was inevitable. Thanks, Jackson, and good luck.

The 11 month gap between posts in this thread probably says it all. He was rarely in the bests in the VFL this year, would not have been surprised and has had adequate time to set himself up for life after footy.

Reckon he was a trier, but just not quite good enough to be consistently AFL grade.
At least he played AFL and played some good games. The vast majority can’t say the same.
