    I seen him in the same game and I thought he was OK.

    Ive probably watched him near on half a dozen times to date.. all the whiles coming away about as excited as one is toward unflavoured blacmange !! On one hand is/could be quite capable...on other he seems about excited about it all as the previously mentioned dessert !! I dont get him :huh:

    why did we get him for anyway

    Melbourne gave up its 3rd Round pick, 37, for Meesen.

    bring him in.

    Some players do better in the AFL than VFL.

    Maybe he is one of those.

  • Quote

    Doesn't deserve a game on the back of one performance, but I'd rather him ruck than Martin.

    I agree Bring him in-Play him for a good period of time thus getting an idea of what to work on in the off season. Melbourne chased him hard so there must be something that caught them.

    Handing out positions is hardly a way to bring toughness back to a club, we must make players fight to not only claim their jumper, but do it proud.

    I don't want to see it handed out for the sake of it. If Jamar's right, make him ruck a full game, see how he copes with that.

    Would much rather see Petterd get a game, i think he has class and it sounds like he's been playing well

    There are big raps on his athletic ability, and he's got some good hight on his but he needs to show some good ability in the ruck before he can be considered a major part of our future.

    In saying that Stef Martin's only being going for 2 or 3 years, so hopefully Meesen can start to show something soon. He is certainly a project player, i say give him a crack if White's not right.

    I agree.

    Slightly off-topic, I wonder how Meesen feels about our overtures to Warnock.

  • Quote

    im sure no one cares what meesan thinks about whether warnock comes or not. if you cant play well for sandy you dont have a say in the matter.

  • Quote

    I have seen him a couple of time and just cant get my head around him being a ruckman... he looks like an over sized utility, played back forward and on the wing. amusingly for the amount of times I have seen sandy this year and the pre season game against the dog I can only recall once or twice where I saw him actually in the center square at a ball up so maybe there is a plan outside of rucking for him?

  • Quote

    Give him a crack and lets see what he can do. There's only 2 games to go for shits sake. There is no shame in giving a kid a jumper and saying have a crack son and show me why you can be an AFL footballer.

    And thats it in a nutshell.

    You must earn the rite to wear the red and blue.

    You`d think Pettard had earn`t a crack but i feel White might get it.

    Its got nothing to do with bringing toughness back into the Club but a fact of reality with both White and PJ on the injury list.

    Jamar cant ruck a full game and given the speed at which the game is played now, its unreasonable and unrealistic to do so.

    Meesen only gets a game out of circumstance as we need to have a back up ruckman for the game. It just makes it soooo important that we get our hands on Warnock at seasons end.

    If we short a ruckman, I just dont see the use in bringing Petterd up. If Petterd is fit and in form then he should be given a smaller players role. It would be great to see him back.

    Doesn't deserve a game on the back of one performance, but I'd rather him ruck than Martin.

    Agree.

    If we dont have White and PJ, who do we ruck .......Weetra?

    A case of circumstance rather than form. He has shown nothing so far but we will need someone to give Jamar a spell from the ruck.

    Given the state of the year and MFC bigger aims I am not concerned.

    I doubt at this stage that Meesen is under any illusions about where his footy is at. Footy clubs tend to be quite frank with their players.

    Agree. And given what Meesen has put up so far I find it hard to be sympathetic to his cause.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
