Zach Merrett plays as an inside mid but has an outside focused game. It’d be like having Lachie Hunter attend every centre bounce.
Either he or Essendon are in denial that the guy is actually a winger.
I rate the guy quite highly as a talent, but he is exposed when in rough stuff - a case of sleepy with light on syndrome.
If you can look past him being soft, he is exactly what we need on the wing; but last I heard he wanted to play inside.
