Seemed to be there for all to see in the StKilda game, we just looked different, we played better as a team.

Playing Merrett in the reserves for two years would be idiotic and self defeating.
We’d miss out on his undeniable onfield skills plus lose the opportunity to receive some decent draft capital.
Would achieve nothing, and make Essendon not only the laughing stock of the league (although probably already are), but seed great doubts to detrimental effect in the minds of every current and future AFL player about the sort of workplace that exists at Essendon.
Remember this is the 2020’s, not the 1820’s!
There was a young man named Merrett
He just won his 6th Crichton medal
He is a ■■■■ and wants to leave
Fark Hawthorn
Fark Carlton
The End
*Poetry was never my strong point.
brought a tear to my eye
You must have miss read my post I was saying only do that if Merret goes Nuclear and tried to make us take pick 8 on its own.
E.g hawthorn’s original valuation.

I’m sure we have more problems than just that ■■■■.
I feel that the legend of this ‘game where we almost beat the 11th placed team,’ is going to grow in epic proportions as the years roll on.
The 11th placed team who barely beat 16th place the week before, all whilst having the most in-form player in the comp.
We stopped the streak
That team just loaded up on a flag tilt
You for a start
If we hold him to his contract, you watch him ■■■■ and moan all season. And expect to retain the captaincy, and crack the sads when he doesn’t.
Disagree 100%.
Did you not notice anything different ?
And we had the wonderful Geoff Pryor who was later instrumental in forming the Players Association x
You for a start
Show your former list manager of 30 years some respect would you!
B&F’s mean jack ■■■■ in ■■■■ teams.
I cannot stand the thought of Hawthorn screwing us with this trade but also, Merrett cannot come back to the club after this.
Yes, he said he’d be professional but he basically ■■■■ on the club and disrespected his team mates. We can’t have that kind of toxic behaviour in the club.
Difficult few weeks ahead I’d imagine.
