More likely the club will make him publicly appologise to andy for upsetting him
Time will tell. Merrett is more demonstrative than Heppell. Different approaches.
Common is leading a bunch of spuds. Sounds like they sulked during the week at getting a blast. If Merrett is holding them to account and they push back then what next?
Heppel wasnt hamstrung, he is part of the problem.
Keep Merrett and discard the rest.
He still had most of the same spuds in the playing group.
Merrett is a better captain but questions should be asked about the last two seasons. Why the drop off.

Keep Merrett and discard the rest.
Obviously i donāt know Merrett but he comes across as a competitive man.
If he wants success he and Brad should review the list and make the call. Merrett would know wo is far dinkum and who is not.
Man i feel bad for him wouldnt blame one bit if he threw his hands in the air and says fark this im outt here
If I was merrett Iād be doing everything I could to get a trade. Nobody could begrudge him.
The only one who actually gives a ā ā ā ā
as it sits today, who do we think would be looking the most likely successor for the captaincy down track?
talk about slim pickingsā¦
Spot on he leads by example when he wants too, once he starts sticking a hand out for a tackle or playing and complaining for free kicks it all goes out the window.
Tonight there was a really bad play where he let oppo players walk past him they get on the end of a goal then sprays heās teammates.
for all we know Merrett could have been one that sooked about the spray from scott he is managed by tla where Rama used to work isnāt he
The only player that gave half a fck today.
Caldwell or Durham maybe Hobbs
Durham?

efc1robbo:
Zac does everything a leader could possibly do
He does the selfless team things with absolute desperation. Just a shame that so few players follow his lead
Yeah but there is obviously a disconnect because the team isnāt responding.
Or the importance of the role of captain is greatly overrated.

Durham?
Usually yes, but I thought he was mostly rubbish today.

Caldwell or Durham maybe Hobbs
pretty telling (and not in a good way) if thatās the case.
Not sure that a requirement for a captain is never having played a poor game
If i had to pick Caldwell heās the one that looks most likely

Who was talking about being captain? I said today.

Bomber1408:
Zac is a great leader
Is he? Who has he led? Where has he led them to?
He is an exceptional player. But the knock on his leadership has always been his ability to bring others along with him. And at the moment no one is going with him.
Good leaders lead by example. His example is very good
