What makes one of the AFL's most elite players tick?

Andrew McGrath unpacks the mentality behind what makes Essendon Captain Zach Merrett the best of the best. Despite Merrett describing himself as "not the quickest, not the tallest and not the fittest", the three-time Crichton medallist explains how his success can be broken down into the art of competitiveness - the will to succeed in leaving no stone unturned.

Leadership also becomes a pertinent topic, most notably as Merrett describes bouncing back after being dumped from Essendon's leadership group in 2020, to being the club's vice captain only two years later.

This ep is a must-listen for anyone looking to be at the top of their game in any chosen field or those who are interested in learning about what makes one of the Bombers' most valuable players tick.
