    Unfortunately, your whispers are often accurate.

    If confirmed, PJ, Frank Spencer and Kareem Abdul Jamar (who is due back soon) should just about be able to cover for The Great Meesen.

    As Nasher said, it wouldn't matter if they were all fit, we'd still get smashed in the hit outs. It's a chance for PJ to show his athleticism, and run with Cox. Martin to do the ruckwork in the forward line.

    The bloke who rucked for Sandringham a couple of seasons ago...Stefan Martin!

    I was trying to be careful to word it but I should have got a legal disclaimer to go with it so it did not imply or intended to imply your question.

    Yes! Jamar to be tested *dances*

    Has the injury been confirmed or not, or can the moderator ban the posters for perpetuating an untruth?

  • Quote

    Yep, its true. Meesen is out for the rest of the season... possibly the end of his career.

    He has to have an ankle reco... the stress fracture is now 3/4 of the way through the bone.

    Very sad... just when he was showing form yet another injury puts him back down :(

    Prithee, young pudh Meese, please forgive thee for Lady Luck's dearth, forsooth of what our fervour has wrought.

    Geez, you're lucky mate, some over zealous poster wanted you banned !

    that better be a stupid rumour insider

    that will devastate me! i really rate this kids potential

  • Quote

    No rumour... 100% true.

    He has been carrying the stress fracture since late last season... hence not playing in the pre season.

    He is shattered.

  • Quote

    I repeat where is the official confirmation, he is not on injury list?

    Phew, dodged a bullet there.

    Don't want to run foul of Mr Zealous.

    Will stop revealing the true facts, and will start making up stupid rumours instead.

    He did a full pre season, so that is tripe for a start, and you cant play with a stress fracture for so long, it gets too sore, ask Colin Garland or Mathew Egan.....especially when you carrying 100Kgs on it...

    Poor guy if true.

    Though he definitely played pre season, I remember watching him at Vi$y Park

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
