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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
