Essendon star and six-time best and fairest winner Zach Merrett has moved on from manager Tom Petroro, who was by his side as the failed Hawthorn trade dominated the off-season headlines.
Merrett ended its deal with Petroro on Tuesday, according to two industry sources with knowledge of the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The same sources said Merrett is rejoining his former manager Nick Gieschen, now of CDG Sports Management alongside Paul Connors.
This imprint has asked Petroro, Merrett and Essendon for comment. Gieschen politely declined to comment when contacted.
