26. John Meesen [200cm 97kg 20.06.86 - 0 games 0 goals] – The big ruckman brought into the club after two games in three seasons with Adelaide but he failed to fire any shots in 2008. He has another two years on his contract and many are wondering why he was given so much time to prove his worth.

This may well go down as the worst list management decision of all time. I'm not that concerned about the draft pick we coughed up, but the fact that he got a three year deal is laughable.

Posted

remember the raves about his running ability during pre-season? One must ask WHY he wasn't given any games in 2008 during one of the bleakest periods in the clubs modern history. If it was because the coach didn't think he had anything to offer. well... what the hell!!!! If it was because he was down on confidence and form due to injury etc. etc. then let's hope to God he makes massive inroads in 2009. Otherwise, one of the worst selections this decade!

It's because he was playing like crap at Sandy, and in the end was overtaken by the rookie Spencer. All the running power in the world doesn't count for squat if you don't work hard and don't know how to apply your skills.

If he doesn't show anything at all again next year, the club will be faced with a real dilemma. Delist him and pay out the third year, or have him waste a spot on the list for a year?

I doubt it. Faced with a year (2010) in the Casey 2's will see him retire and move on. Pride has to step in if you're a laughing stock.

(And just to beat others to it, I think the same will apply to Chopper in 09. Faced with a year in the Casey 2's, I expect he will come to an arrangement with MFC and move on.)

I must confess..have only seen him in less than a handful of games.... and if you could wrap medicore, uninspring, slow, non-impact, over-rated , lost at see, seemingly disinterested al linto one bloke...then ladies and gentlemen you have John Meesen.

Now for all I know there may be .some genuine talent in there somewhere but for all the world its tied up tighter than Houdini.

Now who was the f*%#@! who signed this guy to his current contract ?? HE ought to be paying this guy...not the MFC !!

or maybe he's a just a s.......l...............o.................................................w starter !! :rolleyes:

Was CAC in charge of contracts and list-management in October last year. If so, then he takes responsibility for Meeson getting 3 years.

Yes, and yes.

So does this mean that those people who kept heaping praise on CAC for no apparent reason (other than that he was a nice guy who occasionally posted on this site) have finally realized what a dud he was?

Maybe we can wrap him up and deliver him "free" to Punt Road.....with an all yours.. you foot the bill now !! :lol:

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
