I’ll explain this to Essendon fans really simply. The Hawks hold all the cards because your best player and captain wants out. You’d want something in return, because if the deal stalls you’ll be stuck holding onto a player who doesn’t want to be there, and he’ll walk for free next year. His value decreases every year due to age and contract. So, Essendon, accept the deal and understand that in business, sometimes the leverage belongs to someone else and this time, it’s not you.

If/When Zach Merrett is stripped of his captaincy, who is the heir apparent? Vote for your selection and reply with your justification ❤️🖤
