Recruited from: Geelong Falcons
Brownlow Votes: -

A lightly framed half forward Jackson Merrett was rewarded for a strong season with Bendigo in the VFL when he made his AFL debut in round 23 against Collingwood. Merrett has a great velocity for the contest and determination to improve coupled with silky skills by foot.

Season by Season

Season by Season

The Geelong Falcons flyer adds more pace to Essendon's young midfield. He enjoyed an excellent 2011 season in the TAC Cup, finishing second in the Falcons’ best and fairest and representing Vic Country in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. A tall midfielder with great speed, Merrett ran 2.93 seconds over 20m at the Draft Combine and thrives on taking the game on. Is a great nephew of Collingwood champion Thorold Merrett.
