Considering it was Merrett mates who were the vanguard of bad culture and poor relationships liked to behaviour like this it’s pretty rich that Merrett is speaking through his puppet.

Trade request and nuclear is about to start.

They’re sitting in the auditorium having already placed their orders with ‘their guy’ champing at the bit to SESH on their week off and there’s old bespectacled Craig getting his Harold The Life Ed Van Giraffe on at the front. What a scene.

About time we got some action from the Merret camp. That little weasel has been far too quiet

Trading Day panel saying they cannot see the Merrett trade happening.

Essendon view Merrett as a club champion, Hawks consider Merrett a “nice to have 30 year old”

Hawks think pick 8 is fair, Essendon would want at least two firsts to even get to the table to discuss.

Ralph saying that Hawks are confused as to why Essendon want to keep Merrett as he won’t be in their next “premiership window”.

Also said that Hawks can’t offer a lot because they need to keep picks for next year to go after Butters.

Nose beers at the club will significantly drop with Draper departing

I heard Vozzo went to the drug store, and he took all the drugs at the drug store, and they had to close the drug store.

“vozzo declined to disclose the number of players who tested positive”.

You absolute dog ■■■■ Morris. You piece of ■■■■. You gutter dwelling, sniping ■■■■ stain.

He declined to discuss it with you, you ■■■■.

And yet we have senior players taking young players to music festivals.

And people want to keep these blokes around for ‘leadership’.

Fk me.

Maybe that’s why Draper wanted out?

So let’s get this right:

A CEO that talks tough on drugs = bad for an elite environment.

Complaining about turfing a player that turns up fat every year and invates shady figures into the change rooms = good for an elitre environment

Reeks of a Merrett leak.

One where teammates won’t want him back. Hours after Essendon reiterate we won’t be trading him and he will be welcomed back.

Pretty good strategy, pretty low life behaviour though

Morris saying the players were concerned their privacy was breached as the CEO would know how many positive tests there were.

Gutter reporting. But if the CEO, Coach and football manager had to call a meeting - it now leads to speculation on how many players have been impacted.

Dog act if Merrett leaked this.

This is where the football club needs to grow a fucken backbone, produce their own media and release it on social media platforms, contesting the allegations from Tom Morris and calling him out for being a guttersnipe piece of s#it and remind the world exactly why.

The AFL media have absolutely ruined this game for me. They are honestly the worst type of people.

Here’s your story: Vozzo told them off and to pull their heads in, (apparently) named names. A couple had tested positive. It got back to the AFLPA who issued Vozzo a warning for it.

Also, I’ve heard at least two of who those guys are. It’s nothing more than party stuff, and they need to ■■■■ off.

…Hopefully the “expected” departure discussed is accurate

The substance of the story appeared to come at the end. Seems like a bunch of players tested positive for drugs during the season
