Mentioned earlier this morning that I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out soon that Merrett will be assessing his options.

To me he is the perfect player for us. Has that great blend of inside and outside speed and skill.

If the above was to eventuate, I would think Melbourne will look at him closely.  Goody was his midfield coach and he's played with Melksham and Hibberd. 

Keep an eye on this one.

Just gut feel or saying you've heard something?

Interesting Dazzle, I would have thought he’d be one of the least likely to leave Essendon. Any idea why he’d be looking at moving on? Dodo would want two first rounders and Oliver.

1000-1 chance of leaving the Bombers !! 

Unfollowed Essendon on Instagram and removed them from his bio. He’s.Gone.Mate.

There was a fair bit of talk about in on bomber blitz about a week ago. One poster brought up that Merrit isn't happy (he got shot down pretty hard) but there was a bit of a discussion on it. 

The OP mentioned carlton as a potential destination however. They then started saying the only way they do the deal is for Cripps.... Classic bombers 

Would take our second rounder & future first....but probably worth it.

Add Hurley to that too. Also unfollowed Essendon and no longer lists them on his bio. 

They would want 2 top 10 picks to even have a conversation about him, and that's probably the biggest hurdle i'd see if he did want to leave. 

we probably couldn't sign Merrett and keep Viney IMO

I mentioned something a while ago on this as a possible trade for one of our mids, not Oliver or Petracca...

...but they need what we have too much of and we need what they have too much of.

Think all parties would agree that a trade for Brayshaw would be beneficial for all, would maybe need to add a second rounder.

Would give up Gus and and a sweatener to make it happen. Love Gus but I don’t know if he gets back to his really good form if Viney re-signs.

Why would we give up one of our more outside, balanced mids to bring in Merrett?

Imagine Oliver, Merrett, Petracca. ?

Hurley is mates with May, Harmes, Hibberd and Melksham too. Interesting...


Haven't heard anything about this, but Merrett is the exact type of midfielder we're looking for. He's balanced both inside and outside with good kicking skills.

We'd need to give up a 1st round pick minimum or a good player plus something else. Brayshaw or TMac plus a pick would work for us...

As usual, I'm already enjoying the off season more than the season proper. Typical Melbourne. The trade season is the regular season for us poor mugs.

Backline: May, Hurley, Lever, Rivers, Salem, Saad.

Midfield: Oliver, Petracca, Harmes, Merrett, Viney

Forwardline: lacking...

West Coast 2006?

They can want two top 10 picks all they want but there isn't a chance they get two top 10s for him. 

 

Imagine trying to negotiate with Essendope for Hurley, Saad and Merrett. god they would be next level delusional. 

 

Wouldn't go anywhere near Merrett. 

But only because we already have 3 ex-bombers on the list, and it takes way too much emotional energy to overcome my hatred of Essendon players (I've learned to love Hibberd and Brown, but can't quite warm to Melksham).

Seriously though, he would definitely add a point of difference to our midfield mix.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
