Zach Merrett secures trade from Essendon to Hawthorn
Original: zach merrett
Essendon captain Zach Merrett has completed a move to Hawthorn, ending a bitter and drawn-out trade saga during the AFL trade period. The Bombers receive a trio of draft picks in exchange, while Merrett signs a deal reported to be worth around $4 million. Debate is now focused on whether Essendon gave up their skipper too easily, and how Hawthorn might use the move to land another key target next.
Why now: A high-profile AFL captain's trade was finalised during the trade period, sparking debate over the deal's terms and what comes next for both clubs.
