I have not seen Meeson play so i have deliberately said nothing, but i do know how much the club wanted & chased him. They must have seen something. Give him 1 or 2 games on the 'G in front of a crowd. He may thrive or may fall over. There is only one way to find out. Bring it on.

Look at the 2004 draft. if Meesen had half the ability of these guys were would we be now!

Year Pick Player Club

2004 1 Brett Deledio Richmond

2004 2 Jarryd Roughead Hawthorn

2004 3 Ryan Griffen Western Bulldogs

2004 4 Richard Tambling Richmond

2004 5 Lance Franklin Hawthorn

2004 6 Tom Williams Western Bulldogs

2004 7 Jordan Lewis Hawthorn

2004 8 John Meesen Adelaide

2004 9 Jordan Russell Carlton

2004 10 Chris Egan Collingwood

And Adelaide bascially gave him away.

Come on John we need you, pick up your game!!

i like how in the herald sun they are basically saying the club really wants to promote spencer and put jamar on the LTI list so he can play round 1. Really doesn't say much for meesen that they want to play a rookie ahead of him, no offence to spencer or anything. After the less than glowing evaluation from bailey i'm not surprised either. He's not that keen to play him. Its pretty obvious.
