Zach Merrett (born 3 October 1995) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He is the younger brother of his teammate Jackson Merrett.[1]
AFL career
Merrett was drafted by Essendon with the 26th overall selection in the 2013 national draft. He made his debut against North Melbourne in round 1, 2014.[2] He was named as the substitute and came on in the third quarter, replacing Martin Gleeson.[3] After the round 11 win against Richmond, he was the round nominee for the Rising Star, where he recorded twenty-two disposals, five marks, three tackles and two goals.[4]
The 2015 season saw Merrett spend more time in the midfield.[5] In August, following Essendon's 87-point loss to the Western Bulldogs in round 18, it was announced that Merrett may miss the remainder of the season after scans revealed a major stress reaction in his foot.[6]
