Meesen has been spending time at Casey as ruck coach.

So it's good that he's been helping out with the younger guys (depsite he himself being young!!).

Unfortunately for all concerned, has turned out to be the worst trade deal we have ever done, based on return.

On a risk return basis I would have thought Molan and Nick Smith were worse given we gave 1st round picks. Similiar outcomes just a higher price paid.

I wondered, so soon after i visited those sites, why the PC would start acting up. Not just slow but I lost email contact & my Email reverted back to an old email address with after the old ISp provider. The next morning it fixed itself after being turned off.

I have adsl 2.

That's spooky

I say keep him.

Reason: Because we have a lot of ruckman - Jamar, PJ, Spencer ®, Martin, Jack Fitz, Max Gawn.

Yes Jack & Max will take a year or 2 to come on. Get rid of Spence or Martin.

IMO i think we should nurse Meesen through and see if we can get him on his feet again. Apparently he is helping out with the coaching at Casey and the guys are really getting a bit out of his advice... Sounds similar to Garlands story in the paper on the weekend.

At very least we should wait to see the result of the op and go from there.

Its just a spot on the rookie list...

His luck has to come good sooner or later!!

You are kidding right. Due to his contract, we have had to nurse him through three seasons already. We won't nurse him through another one.

Don't forget Diamond Jim - all time record holder

That was back in the form four days and it wasnt a trade and draft picks didnt exist

Tilbrook was still a good player who simply had an overstated reputation

Thanks for the link bt i did see Tilbrook play at Sturt well before he became a Demon

If you knew the era then you would know about Darryl Hicks who IMO should have been part of the deal

As for Meesen i do think his oppurtunity has passed unfortunatley

Fair enough. I got my quote "2007 NAB AFL Draft traded by Adelaide for No. 37 (Scott D. Thompson)" off the MFC web site. :o

not a big deal, but you are correct. my memory of the deal was this

it was a 3 way, melb gave 3rd pick 37 to adelaide for meesen

adelaide gave up pick 37 to nm for brad moran,

and nm eventually used pick 37 on scott d thompson.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
