Where is Zach Merrett's best position for Hawthorn after offseason move?

Key points

  • Zach Merrett has joined Hawthorn this offseason, a year after an earlier attempt to move failed. Hawks forward Jack Ginnivan believes Merrett should play a mix of wing, back and midfield.
  • He suggested half-back as a spot where Merrett's use of the ball and speed would help. Many see midfield as Merrett's best role, alongside Jai Newcombe and Will Day.
  • Coach Sam Mitchell faces a balancing act as he works out where to play the star midfielder during preseason.
