#7 - Zerrett - New Beginnings

Cant knock Merrett for his season, and barring Gimlet gate, things have gone about as well as we could have hoped. Played well onfield, the players do seem to get around him on the field, and Solomon confirmed Merrett has been great for him as a sounding board.

Might have seen the last game for us yesterday if his injury keeps him out. Such a shame how it has all ended.

Take the week off Zac

If there’s no structural damage and it’s just bruising, he’ll be fine for Sunday.

Is this what the kids call looksmaxxing?

It’s sad but I really couldn’t care less if he plays this week or not.

He’ll announce himself good to go for next weekend, nothing surer. Be there for McGs 200th and a sendoff.
It’ll mend a few wounds so to speak and as ever he’ll collect his bag of disposals.

I was royally ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  off how he went about agitating for a move as skipper last year. But looking back, he had precious little help, thanks to Dodoro and the drafting masterclasses of his these past 7 years .. except for when Rosa finally got hold of it recently.

All the best Zach.

Is there any chance he stays?

Have noticed he is a bit more engaged with some Essendon social media posts recently.

None I’d say.

I suspect all parties, including the club he wants to go to, have been having discussions.

Hird if he gets the gig could maybe convince him to stick around but even then id say that would be 5% chance.

Best he leaves and we all move on.

I don’t think so personally.
I might be miles off but o don’t think it’s a coincidence that he has seemed happier and more content since I’d heard that all parties had been speaking to each other. I’d suggest some sort of trade has been agreed to on principle

Maturity over Swagger

What’s going on here

Is there a world where Hird would not only convince him to stay, but he’d make him captain again… #redemptionarcforall

For the record I do not want this, I’m a big believer in getting rid of anyone who doesn’t want to be there…

I haven’t seen a death ride Hawthorn thread….but assume we would really like them to be bundled out in straight sets in order to improve their first draft pick yeah??

Just want them to be bundled out on principle, regardless of the draft
