Gotta give everyone else the impression they still deserve to exist.
(I do agree he could do better… DO BETTER.)
He will still get overlooked for the All Australian midfield for Dangerfield.
Just enjoy his output for the time being, until he inevitably goes down with a chronic shoulder injury from carrying this bog-ordinary football team for so long.

If he can actually lead this club to success from the shitshow it is, he’ll sit above the lot of them for me.
I wish we had more like Goddard and Zac.
Don’t care if they hurt a few precious people’s pride and knock over a few bowls of pretzels, we may actually see some success.

Goddard was a do what I say not as I do type. Merrett ■■■■■ all over Goddard, there’s no comparison.
That spooky behaviour from the players back then is part of why we have been awful for so long.
Afraid of someone calling them out on awful behaviours so they demote him

Ok. But who was comparing them?
What a stupid title for this thread! Zerret is not going anywhere. He will not win any Trevor Barkers because he won’t play at St Kilda.
I think Essendon will be successful through the sheer will of Merrett.
He’ll shoebodybop it
I’m pretty sure it dates back to when there was speculation about him possibly going to St Kilda…as the thread was system generated, it needs a Mod to update it.
Can we put Merrett in Hall of Fame now?
Merrett 3 votes again.
There seemed to be a real celebratory mindset across the ground for EVERY action.
Like big fist pumps and high fives for any small win, any small defensive spoil, any small defensive act to get a stoppage.
It seemed to be led by Zach and it was a BIG difference in culture. Loved it

Two points from me
- Zach Merrett is right up there with our greatest players in club history, even if he hasn’t got all the accolades.
- Rutten removed this guy from the leadership group. Wow.

As stupid as it was, wasn’t that based on a player vote?
