Meesen and Newton

Since drafting both Gawn and Fitzpatrick do you think we really need Meesen?

Or should the FD rookie Liam Patrick instead.

Also players like Majak Daw and Matthew Panos havent been selected and I reckon either player has more upside and potential than Newton.

    No we dont, but as nasher said they will be kept

    I believe we have 2 options.

    One option is keeping them. The other option is getting sued by the players and in serious [censored] from the AFL.

    No, nill, not, never, naught, nix, nup !!!!

    Pay'em out or whatever is required and move on.

    If we could somehow manage to rookie Panos over Newton, we'd do it in a heartbeat...

    I was a fan of Meesen but we probably don't need him from now on with Gawn, Fitzpatrick

    They have one more year left on the rookie list before becoming VFL mainstays. Sad but true. Part of me hopes Meesen does get to PA or Hawthorn via the PSD because I think he can jump start his stalled career with an established list. Newton has the talent, but can never put it all together when it counts. Essendon could/would be a great fit for him.

    Both players just don't have what the Dees need to move forward, which sucks for all involved.

    Absolutely pathetic stance by the MFC. Looking every clubs list, including our own (Davey), so many guns have come through the Rookie draft. To overlook this is poor judgement.

    What are you talking about, we delisted them both and with their consent agreed to rookie them if they weren't drafted by another club.

    I believe Newton might be rookied by another club, so we could get another spot. By doing what we did we got two extra players in the draft.

    Only Freo would be stupid enough....

    Unless "another club" could mean the Diamond Valley Under 12's.

    It had to be said! :lol:

    Redlegs, give us some more information please. Who/what/where?

    Both Boys have got a year to prove themselves.

    It's totally up to them, The club has been Hard but Fair- 12 months lads.....

    Aren't they both contracted players tho.

    I know we delisted them but i thought they still had one year on there contract. That is why if no1 picked them up we HAVE to re draft them? or did we pay there last year out?

    could be wrong tho.

    I think the case is closed. They're gone

    If they weren't contracted they would have been cut.

    The recruitment of GAWN and Fitzpatrick would be the final nail in the coffin. They should give game time preference in the VFL to those players above Meesen.

    MFC have been generous with both of them. MFC got those deals wrong. Its done we move on.

    I could be wrong but I would of thought that the club would give both Meeson and Newton an incentive to go on the rookie list like 2 years on the rookie list. Why would they want to be demoted if they are just gonna get the ass at the end of the year anyway?

    speaking to Josh Mahoney last night at the MFC event...both players will be paid out for the remaining years on their contracts. Good move by the club as they can now focus on rookie listing players who can actually add something to the side....

    Some here call that reckless.

    I'd call it common sense.

    It's far worse than making a bad deal, on newton at least. We signed him for 2 years knowing full well who we were dealing with.

    We should say sayonara to Newton ASAP. Meeson showed a bit before injury. I would retain. No worse than The Russian, better than PJ and a stopgap for the next gen.

    We signed him in 2007 on low bucks for 2 years at a time we had no forwards to speak of. It was a long shot punt that did not work. Agree that both should go. Meesen was as much an error as Newton, Hopefully GAWN and Fitz rectify that in years to come.

    FWIW, I would have thought Meesen was as bad if not worse. We gave him 3 years and Adelaide pick 37. Newts renewal cost us nothing. Meesen.... :unsure:

    The incentive was they had a chance through the ND and PSD with another Club. I think the Club would have told them they are finished

    If they can do that under AFL rules then can they rookie others or are they blocked from rookieing replacements?

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
