Pick 26 – Zach Merrett
As we start to slowly make our way towards the pointy end of this all-inclusive re-draft, the bandying for selection in each slot has naturally become a touch fiercer.
While pick 26 sees a trifecta of players available who have produced a combined five premierships, four All-Australians and a best and fairest, none of Jack Viney, Liam Ryan or Shane Edwards has reigned supreme at this rank.
Although a premiership has remained out of reach for Zach Merrett since his debut in 2014, the midfielder has managed to make hay across his next 164-games by claiming three Crichton Medals and a pair of All-Australian blazers in 2017 and 2021.
Despite already producing a career average of nigh on 27 disposals per week over the course of his eight seasons in a red sash, the country Victorian still has plenty to provide the Bombers as they continue striving for a drought-breaking finals victory.

:help
3 premierships thats all that needs to be said.
Edwards has been a star for maybe the last 6 or 7 years.
Done it on the big stage. This was a no contest. Edwards easily.

Merret can't even go close to kicking a worm burner like Shedda

Bingo! A number of our comeback wins especially in finals have been on the back of Sheds going into the centre after half-time and changing the course of the game with his ability to slice through traffic and opposition defences.
Merrett in his 8 years hasn't even played in a winning final. Being an accumulator wins fantasy footy comps; not actual big games. Give me an all class matchwinner like Sheds every single time over a stat chaser.
