"That's been put on ice now basically I think until at least much deeper into the season" Cal Twomey on a Zach Merrett contract extension at Essendon (via Gettable). @aflratings_GM

It’ll be interesting to see how far Gold Coast will go in the 2026 Finals series. A prelim is the benchmark. If they fall short - it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they identify Zach Merrett as their trade target. They have multiple avenues in terms of picks & players to make a trade possible, & Zach is ostensibly a great move for the Suns. Even with a lack of time on ball this season, Merrett is still averaging 27 touches a game, placing him ahead of Suns skipper Noah Anderson and John Noble (26.3). Merrett would also be the at least the 4th-5th priority to shut down, meaning he can run wild without the burden of a heavy tag. The Suns struck gold by bringing in Christian Petracca & although they’re very different players, Merrett is a gun accumulator & the foot skills to match





“Refuses to defend” is an interesting summation considering Zach produced the equal most pressure acts for the game ❤️🖤
