Good for Zach I suppose. Heās not without fault but he was undoubtedly poorly advised and poorly campaigned by Petroro. Really was a car crash in the end.
He should have been sacked on the spot for that cluster fark.
SAY THE LINE
This masthead has reached out to Petroro

no doubt it was the managers tactic to go nuclear and it put a lot of heat on Zach and rubbed the bombers the wrong way.
Connors is well known for getting trades across the line
Possibly. But I donāt agree if you are suggesting that would be the only approach a mature club would take.
Good move to head to the best management team
Good, hopefully we can get a good deal at end of year with a new manager and 12 months runway. Heās not liked at the club, toxic rat needs to be shipped (for a fair price) to wherever we see fit, if heās so desperate.
Geischen famously manages Harley Reid and he ended up staying. So who knows.
Petroro and Hawks can get fkd
Whether Zach tries to get out again at the end of the season will come down to the club showing genuine improvement and a game plan that he believes will get us to winning finals.
If he canāt see that he will try and get out again.
I think heās seen how much of a hissy fiss we made and no we wonāt trade him. So he will stay put until he is out of contract in two years.
Unless we come to the party and say we are open to a trade, of course.
We know of 2 who met with the hawks. Maybe it was their strategy of making it public to weaken the players standing at their home club and strengthening their trade position, that eventually backfired - because they ended up with neither player. I doubt Zac cares what supporters think about him. He was just trying to do the best for himself and his family.
Plus⦠This one at a wedding.
Sure, not the same thing, but just wanted an excuse to post that Sam Mitchell is a ā ā ā ā .
This is news that Merrett will definitely be gone next season.
Didnāt Lloyd say at a sportsmanās night that Merrett told Petroro he would fire him if the trade didnāt go through?
I remember reading that somewhere too. But then again, I probably read that on blitz
He probably decided to leave him post trade period and has taken a few months to select his new representation
