John Meesen pulls a Steven Bradbury!

Featured Replies

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

Playing Meesen against Port isn't going to hurt us, and it's not handing out a position anyway or for the sake of it.

 

DB does like to pull the ocasional rabbit out of the hat , sometimes they're hares..and Im sure sometimes its his own hair he pulls out !! There is a peculiar South Australian flavour to all this.. We're playing one.. He ( DB ) was one. .Meeson ...was one.. and we're playing them there !

I wouldnt bet against Meesen getting a guernsey !! it just has that funny feeling about it all !!

I just like seeing players debuting after really fighting for their spot and earning it.

I'd see this as a position for the sake of it. After debuting I'm more relaxed, as players need experience etc., but i think the first game for your club should be a reward for effort, not a reward for another's injury

 

Many dont subscribe to playing for playings's sake but in many ways this game is a dead rubber. Quite possibly Bailey might think Meesen can bring somethign to 'this' game and might be curious enough about what he can do on the big stage to see it happen. Meesen does after all have more experience playing on most of thses guys than the rest of the team !!

Bringing in Meesen could also be a way of ASSURING we finish last.

tsk tsk !! :lol::lol::lol: We dont like talk of tanking here.. lets just call it "List Management " or " Career development" or "Assett enhancement"

No no no...No Panzer, Shermans or Leopards here.. ;)...funny though, we do play Tigers soon :lol:

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.

I do, so you're wrong :P

It's interesting that he's pulled out his best game this week.

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.

He has already had a taste last year playing 2 games for Adelaide.

But I would still play him. by default.

  • 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.
