Clock frozen? #AFLCrowsDogs

Foxtel need to change over the club logos following each goal. It’s still showing the Swans @FOXFOOTY #AFLCrowsDogs

@ClarkyHeraldSun @superfooty If Essendon trades Merrett then does Andrew Welsh stand down for guaranteeing it?

Essendon will receive an end-of-first-round compo pick (number 20) for Sam Draper’s free agency move to Brisbane Lions. Means Essendon currently has picks four, five, 20, 26 & 29. Could also get pick eight (plus more) from Hawks for Zach Merrett. More @superfooty

@essendonfc Thank you and farewell

Daniel Giansiracusa has informed the Club he will seek coaching opportunities elsewhere in 2026 and has accepted a new role as Head of Development at the Hawthorn Football Club.

Can we bring back Snoop for halftime? #AFLGF

Snoop for the win #AFLGF

NAS not getting 3 there might be the worst decision in the history of the Brownlow. What a joke that is. It’s got a big smell about it

👀

@HeathLyons I was wondering the same thing. Made sense to keep him IMO

Interesting Goldy let go despite wanting to play on... Is there a ruckman somewhere that Essendon is confident of landing?

Such a momentum game. Cats won it last night in the 3rd quarter, who wins this 3rd quarter now? #AFLFinals

@7AFL Doesn’t matter, they’re beating both these beaten up teams

Who would Chris Scott rather play? 👀 #AFLFinals

@aflratings_GM @aflratings What are the other team going to cough up?

Zach Merrett remains on track to depart the Bombers, per Sam Edmund. @aflratings_GM

@AFLNow It’s an opinion that the decision makers at Essendon wouldn’t be caring two hoots about

Gerard Whateley suggesting on SEN that Merrett is only worth pick 8 from the Hawks… 🤦

@FOXFOOTY Breaking news: the people making the decisions don’t read this

Zach Merrett’s apparent desire to leave Essendon for Hawthorn has rapidly become the season’s most shocking trade development. But can a deal get done? Five potential Merrett-to-Hawks trade packages explored. >> bit.ly/4noGz1O

@michaeljbeamish @E_Essendonyt 💯

@E_Essendonyt Yep all true as long as you ignore the facts that… 1) he’s our Captain 2) under contract 3) it’s fucking Hawthorn who any self respecting ESS supporter would loathe

Can see why Merrett wants to join this team! They are very impressive 👏

@7AFL Hearing rumours that Mitchell is meeting with Jordan Dawson before flying back to Melbourne

THIS. IS. HOK. #AFLFinals

@AFL Love an opinion

"His club has constantly shattered him. He has to exit, because it is toxic now." @barrettdamian has something to say about your club in Sliding Doors, thanks to CYGNETT.

@TheRunHomeSEN Given the CEO, President and the coach have all said he won’t be traded, this 👆🏻 is likely. He certainly won’t be getting to the arch rival

"Essendon might be the first club to say, we don't care how you feel, you are coming back next year, you signed the deal, and its now up to you how you act from here." - JJ on the hard stance the Bombers could take with Zach Merrett

@AFL You can be certain that he won’t be traded after the coach, CEO and President all say it. They can’t go against their word.

In a letter to members, Essendon president Dave Barham has insisted Zach Merrett won't be traded by the club. Full details: afl.com.au/news/1416789

@AFL @CalTwomey @RileyBev Buddy, Crawford and a future first round is more realistic

Hawthorn's No.8 pick will be the starting point of any proposed deal to land Essendon captain Zach Merrett. @CalTwomey and @Rileybev have the details.
