Any Merrett to getting Zach?

[Mr Miyagi]

We’ve been seriously into him for a while now, and just started getting reported about a possible trade the last few days:

Star onballer who enters the 2020 season off the back of another sensational year in the red and black. He claimed his second Crichton Medal for his efforts in 2019 where he claimed career-high season averages for contested possessions, clearances and goal assists, while leading the club for pressure acts and uncontested possessions. A genuine ball magnet, Merrett’s 651 disposals in 2019 was the third-highest tally in club history – placing him behind only himself in first and second place. An experienced leader for his age, the 24-year-old was named captain on five occasions in the absence of injured skipper Dyson Heppell last year.

Might be hard getting him though because he’s next in line for captaincy at the Dons.

Simple. Build a 2020 relationship with him and swoop on a year's time when a free agent.

[Mr Miyagi]

Info from Essendon site hasn’t been updated all year, kinda odd. No idea how he went this year

[Dave The Man]

How do you know we been into got Ages?

This is the 1st I heard of our Possible Interest for him

Essendon have their hands full this trade period.

That could be good or bad, I dunno?

Whats a fair deal for Merrett? I cant see it being able to be done. Essendon are stubborn. They held onto Daniher when they could have made the move last year.

What’s his disposal like?

^^^^^^

Still not good enough to become a flag winning team. Need to fill more
gaping holes in our lineup

[Mr Miyagi]

I’d trade Sier or Phillips with a pick exchange

[MatthewBoydFanClub]

There’s every merit in recruiting Zach. He’s a good player. We can’t afford him unless we unload players. The only reason we may be talking to Essendon would be if they want to trade. Zach has a year to go on his contract.

I was fortunate as kid and teenager to see great uncle Thorold ( we called him thruppence as we rekon he could turn on a tray bit) and he was exceptional

At the young age of 27 with a broken leg that did not knit joined the TV as a commentator and was asked “if yo have a boy where will he play “ to which he said “only Collingwood “

He never had that son but Zac I believe is great nephew and a bloody good player whom I have in a heart beat
