#7 Zerrett in the beginning

I love how the article informs us of the quote and then immediately prints the quote.

It infuriates the hell out of me when they do that.

“In a season…” HAHA.

Where is the mentioned of the ill-fated supplements sage which James Hird oversaw?

Well done Rocky. That definitely covers the template of “the 12 month ban handed down by CAS in January” that journos put in EVERY single article! Apparently they got banned. Who knew

Brilliant Rocky, all the laughs belong to you.

2012 – Jonathan Giles (GWS) 7

“In a season that saw experienced coach John Worsfold take the helm and guide his young bombers to the wooden spoon”

Best line ever :slight_smile:

Twinting. :smiley:

Needs more “and support of experienced top up players like Ben Hartley and Jonathan Brown”.

Draft McGrath and we’ll have another.

19 votes in that season is incredible. Absolutely incredible.

I’m surprised the whole team polled 19 votes for the year.

What a friggin gun, and as others have mentioned, Zerrett, Bont, Cripps… It’s an impressive draft that one. Especially when Rory Lobbe and Josh Kelly aren’t even in this discussion.

So were sports bet. Ran a book on which players would poll more votes than Essendon as a whole.

Bet a few did their money there. We polled 36.

Brisbane might have been a better option.

So good. Was hoping for a Tayte Ambrose becoming a policewoman mention. :slight_smile:

Got to “Daniel Merrett” and thought, no way. They didn’t. Then looked left at the poster. Lol.

Pick in the 20's with limited preseason, not great defensively but was a proven ball winner with clean skills.

That’s what you call brilliant drafting.
Picking the strengths, seeing the upside, coaching the weaknesses into strengths.

A complete player.

Can’t comment on his efforts before being drafted, but even in his first season he was tackling players better than guys who have been in the system 5 years.
you can’t teach what he has IMO, Sorta like Rioli a bit, they just know how to do and be.
but yeah if he learnt how to tackle and the defensive stuff in 6 months, that’s one hell of a transformation.

I was hoping it was Zach’s son.

Let’s hope he has a productive offseason…

Which one is older? I can’t tell.

Get Jackson to 100 games as quickly as possible then put the ■■■■ out to stud. I want more Merretts!
