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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
