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!!! :)

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
