I would like to officially welcome back John Messen to the Melbourne Football Club as a mature-age rookie.

I for one hope that he makes the most of his opportunities and recovers from his injuries.

If he is able to get himself healthy and fit then he needs to do whatever he can to make the most of his AFL career.

I wish him all the best of luck in what will probably be his FINAL chance.

GO DEMONS IN 2010!!! :)

    The only positive in retaining Meeson is that he increases our ruck department depth.

    Will be interesting to see who gets promoted first out of all our rookies.

    Support your points totally- He may even find himself playing with Casey 2nds teaching Gawn how to play- or the other way around.However, sincerely hope he can turn his future around. One thing for sure MFC do not need 5 ruckman- therefore Messon or Johnson will go at end of next season,is my prediction.

    Of the two Im happier to see Meesen back. Despite my ( and many;s ) misgivings he was starting to do a little when felled. Youre not quite back at square one John.. lets see what you can do lad :)

    Meesen showed a bit before he broke down again. He still has a chance in my book. However, if he misses most of this season with injuries he's out the door. We can't afford to carry him if his body won't stand up to AFL.

    ..... if he misses most of this season with injuries he's out the door. We can't afford to carry him if his body won't stand up to AFL.

    On the other hand , if he gets injured he won't be able to demonstrate what we all suspect - that he's not up to it...!

    It might be that his best chance of staying on the list is to miss the first 21 rounds with injury - then he'll be able to say that he hasn't got the match fitness to break into the Casey team on the eve of the finals - but that he'll be ready to go in 2011.

    I think Meesen is going to finish up his contract at Casey barring injuries.

    If anything I cant see him getting any preferential opportunities ahead of Jamar, PJ, GAWN and Fitz. I suspect there is more future in game time to Spencer if injuries arise.

    I feel the same way.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
