Although all indications point towards Meesen not having his contract renewed we have to remember that prior to last year he hadn't played for two full seasons due to injuries. Being a big guy it was always going to take him at least a year to find any sort of form.

Sure he'll probably get delisted by I still think he was worth a shot considering our ruck stocks at the time we traded for him.

He definitely played a fair bit in the SANFL before he came to us, so I doubt that he missed 2 full seasons. And I thought that he had another year to run on his contract?

I cant be bothered explaining the game of football to you cos it would probably take me a week since you are a tad thick.

But I will say that there are certain players who seem to play better at AFL level than VFL, and Meesen could be that type.

It's all about Jake "the Snake" Spencer, he actually plays with some heart and aggression something we haven't seen at the MFC since the days of Stynesy. His shove on Goodes whilst he was trying to pick himself up from the ground was awesome to watch. If Meesen is picked it will just be another addition to the long line of soft athletically gifted hack ruckman that have plagued us in recent years. What I would give if we could have traded Jeff White to Sydney instead of Darren Jolly back in 2004.

Just checked, he missed the first half of 2007 with a knee injury, seems he didn't miss as much as I first thought.

Darren Jolly is 28 this year and we are looking to build the list. I'm not jealous. Hopefully Mr Dunn will repay the demons by having a good year and an even better career ahead.

Give meesen a go. I don't think we're tring to win the premiership. This year is to see who can play and to develop the list, so why not give him a go?

Makes alot of sense trading an AA ruckman when you are seeking to make a serious push into the top 4 at that time.

And look what happened Jolly played in a premiship the next year.......................

Whilst Jeff White started to show the first signs he was not the player he once was.

Anyway we were never going to win a premiship with Whitey as our #1 ruck if we had Jolly who knows?

In my opinion Spencer is the most likely to succeed as a ruckman for us

He has agression i havent seen in this postion since Strawbs O'Dwyer

He looks to me as he has already developed past what we already have

Jamar is at best a neutraliser and rarely wins a contest and thats not what good teams going forward want

His job on Sandilands was as good as he will get and although it indirectly nullified the contest and Freo,s first use of the ball i am sure Bailey will be looking for a reliable ruckman that can WIN his postion more consistently and create oppurtunities for all those Mids we recruited

Meeson has althletic ability but hasnt got the agression or mindset of an AFL standard ruckman

Bailey is a positive thinker and will talk up the oppurtunity given to Messon in the hope it creates a turn around to the obvious lack of confidence he has

I would be really happy if things changed as we are really in trouble if we dont have a competive tall at the bounce

PJ is worth keeping for his mobility and fill in capabilities but to me he isnt a genuine ruckman

Zomer looks more like a foward from what i have seen so far

Stefan Martyn looks potentially a Key Position Player but not a Ruckman

Other than Watts or Jurrah we recruited Midfielders and i am hoping we add 1 or 2 Talls in the next draft

And what are you basing that on? Martyn came to prominence by getting something like 8 or 9 bog's in just as many games as a ruckman in the ammos under 19s. For mine, he has more attributes to be a ruckman than Meesen, so why not give him a chance.

Ummm.... wasn't 2004 the year that Jeff White was AA? hardly showing the first signs that he was not the player he was!

Jolly was the icing on the swans cake. Trading him was a win/win for both clubs. The only bad thing about the trade is that Dunn hasn't come along as far as we would have liked, but there is still time for that. If Jolly was on our list now we would still be looking for a new number 1 ruck.

There wouldn't be too many 200cm ruckmen playing in the U19 ammos I reckon. Anyway I think Stefan has shown too much promise and skill as key defender to even consider playing him permantly in the ruck. Leave him there and watch him blossom

Meesen has been a disapointment for all. Don't forget he was a first round draft pick for the crows and the dumped him.

I saw Meesen at the Sydey game, and based on what I saw, he would never make our best team EVER! He was slow, he had poor attitude, and seemed to lack confidence.

He needs to have a blinder against the dogs for him to get my vote.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
