John Meesen pulls a Steven Bradbury!

EVIL DEE

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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
