The MFC went Hard for Meeson Last year. Play Him on Saturday against Cox on the G. See where he's at. Give him a challenge. We are already on a hiding to nothing. Draft day is our next big on field assignment.

If Meeson plays well, his next Pre-season will be done with so much more confidence.

We know where he's at - it's not a good place. You don't need to play someone at AFL level to see where he's at - you can do that at the lower level (where he's struggling).

He's being outperformed by Spencer, our rookie. Why does Meesen deserve a gig when Spencer's rucking better than him?

Performing at Sandy is enough of a challenge for Meesen atm. Once he's conquered that challenge, lets give him the AFL challenge.

    Who was responsible for going so hard for him if he ids not up to it? I haven't had the chance to see him play so i take your word for it on his form.

    But at this stage he has had 2 years at least at an AFL club(s) so his basic ability should be showing something by now.

    I know big Guys take longer to Hit their prime but i don't like the sound of this one. Wish Simmonds had stuck around, would have been interesting. We lost a lot of Jeff when the Rules Changed in the Middle

    We gave pick 37 for him so we did not go "hard". We needed to supplement our rucks 12 months ago and he was available. Given he was in Adelaide you would have thought Bailey had seen something to work with during that time. But FFS, he has given little of that impression so far. Rogue is right Spencer the rookie to towelling him. The next place for Meesen is Sandy 2nds. Big men if they are any good are a long term proposition. Lucky we have Meesen for 2 more years. :)

    I dont want Simmonds either. At 31 he is no interest to me and up to this with injuries I doubt whether Simmonds would have been better value than White.

    Agree I doubt Simmonds would have been better value than White.

    Whilst we didnt go hard for Meesen at 37. He was a fan of Craig Camerons - who missed out on him courtesy of the Adelaide Crows.

    I'm not sure Meesen was a fan of Cameron, was he? ;) I believe it was Cameron that went after him, yes.

    :lol: He was deeply admired by Cameron. If we asked C.Cameron, he'd say "I'm a fan of big Johnny!" :lol: Yes it was Cameron that went after him.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
