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.

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
