Round 5 Essendon v Geelong @ Windy Hill, 12pm Saturday May 13 2017

Jackson Merrett is,well, a little bit soft.

And not quick, skilled, and doesn’t run hard enough both ways to make up for it.

That’s ok though.

I’ll agree Jackson seems soft, but he has above average disposal and leg speed… Not being Tippa/Colyer quick doesn’t make you slow, or even average speed for AFL.

It’s the drop off in his work rate that’s stuffed him IMHO

You can get away with not being a hard nut if you just keep going and going and going.
