John Meesen keen on Dees

Recommended Posts

According to Jake Niall in todays Age, John Meesen is keen to return to Victoria next year with the Demons likely to be is destination. He was number 8 pick in the 2004 draft and was recruited from the Falcons. He's a big unit and was a highly regarded junior. Injury held him back this year. Nothing said as to what the Crows want in return.

Thoughts?

Gee, this is going to be a stellar trade week. Bring it on!

A footy loving mate of mine made the remark once that trade week is the second best week in footy, second only to GF week. I agree!

well it will be this year...last year was a total yawn!!!

Going to be mayhem this year... beaudy !!! lol

How about this idea?

If both Meeson (pick 8 in 2004 but has been ravaged by injury) and Judd both choose Melbourne as their club.

Melbourne:

Gain: Judd, Meeson,

Lose: Pick 4 + Aaron Davey + Pick 37 (a sweetener- how about Chris Johnson)

WestCoast:

Gain: Pick 4 + Pick 10 + (a sweetener- Chris Johnson)

Lose: Judd

Adelaide:

Gain: Aaron Davey + Pick 37

Lose: Pick 10 + Meeson

Seems pretty fair for all 3 clubs. WestCoast get 2 top10 picks plus a young West Australian. Adelaide get Aaron Davey (they want him badly) for not too much. We get a blistering midfielder and a promising young ruck that could possibly solve our future ruck problems.

Basically we trade Davey for Pick10 + Meeson and we'll chuck in our 3rd rounder...this seems fair for both teams.

if Judd chooses us, we will probably need 2 top10 picks to get the deal done. while I would prefer to keep Davey, wev'e got to lose something good to get Judd.

We are going to have to put up much more than that.

It would be a McLean, pick 4 & 21 trade Sylvinator for Judd. Perhaps more.

But I can certainly deal with that for Judda!

dont be silly. Mclean + 4+ 21 would be a masssiivvveee rip off for us.

3 players for 1 (inclding our star 21yrold future captain)---are you a WCE supporter?

if Judd chooses MFC as his prefered club we will be getting Judd for under market value. if he chooses us WestCoast are basically forced to deal with only us.

the deal will be:

Sylvia + 4

Bruce/Johnstone + 4'

Davey+ 4+ sweetener (maybe 21 or Chris Johnson).

id say the only players off limits for the demons are Mclean, Rivers, Bate, Jones

Future Captain???

Hahaha. A future trade or delisting pal.

He has shown nothing this year.

Jones is the new man on campus!

Wow. Fickle.

Delisting Mclean? :lol:

I'm gonna keep repeating it because I like the sound of it - pick 4, Sylvia, pick 21 for Judd is a fair deal, not a bonanza for WC, but a fair sacrifice from the Demons.

But I would puke if we gave up one star to get another. Particularly when you consider that Judd's arrival would obviously take the first tagger, giving Mclean a little more space to get used to attention.

I would be very upset if Mclean ever captains the Demons.

Really don't rate him, the worst awareness ive seen on a talented player in a long time. Always always always gets caught, lets remember, Danihers last game in Essendon 50, caught for holding the ball like 4 times by Dale Thomas.

Also he has got in TWO punch ups in the past few weeks. He is no captain and is no star of the club, I really rated him in his first years but this year, no matter how "unfit" was deplorable.

Jones, Rivers are the only untouchables. I would keep Sylvia over Mclean anyday.

All being said, happy for him to stay because I know the talent is there, but captain, my god I would be [censored].

Dale Thomas eh????

Didn't know he played for Essendon.

They were two different examples. The Essendon game where he got caught in their 50 (COMMA) Got caught by Dale Thomas like 4 times (this was in Neitas 300th)

Comma, full stop usually means something new or adding something.... In this case, adding.

Can you explain this to me? What has Sylvia shown us so far? Has he had a BOG yet? I know Brock's had a few including a final.

I am sick of the excuses for Sylvia about not having done a full preseason and injuries. I would be happy for him to move on now while he still has value, instead of us all writing in 5 years time "Oh, he would have been a gun if he could have got his body right". He may turn out to be great elsewhere, but they may be because he was given a wake-up call.

i think sylvia is good and tough but could be good trade bate...always shows glimpses of potential like against the bulldogs when he kicked the goal to put us infront.....yet we still lost (i'm talking about the 1st time we played them)

That that match against the dogs showed us exactly what Col can do. He was probably best-a-field that day, maybe except for Davey. He had 20 odd disposals, took 12 marks or so marks and kicked 3 goals. i Wouldnt trade him.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
