Meesen

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.

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
