Well I wonder who/what the Crows are going to want..

Maybe jamar + pick 53.

    Jamar straight out. Why give anything else? He wants to return to Melbourne and wants to play for the MelbourneFC. Adelaide have their hands tied in any trade discussion. They won't be able to push the lever or else they will end up with nothing and Meesen goes into the PSD. And seeing that both Hudson and Meesen are on the way out, they couldn't afford to do this.

    Frawley to Saints for pick 9. Pick 4 and 9 to WCE for Judd.

    Robbo to Bullies, Bullies midfielder (or first rounder) to Crows, Hudson to Bullies, Meeson plus something to Dees.

    As long as our 'something' is ok and we have done our homework on Meeson then we should come out of this draft way in front.

    In reality it will be more complicated but the gist is above.

    IMO our only real worry (if we get Judd) going forward is the Ruck.

    No kidding.

    if we don't get Meesen we might get Blake.

    A freind connected to the Cats told me Friday that Blake has been offered a contract by Melbourne.

    Obviously the club are going to sort out the ruck one way or the other which make Jamar total trade bait.

    and the other thing that is interesting. Carlton & Tigs declared no interest in Meesen. Ifg we want him lets just take him in PSD. Stuff the crows. WE owe them nothing

    One or the other, sorry. John Meesen left read and for good reason. Having Paul Johnson, Mark Blake and John Meesen in the same line-up (and to a lesser extent in this instance, White), would make it difficult for Meesen to get in the squad.

    If Melbourne get Meesen, is there any point in keeping Jamar if the Crows will take him?

    No way should we wait for the PSD - for Adelaide's sake we will give them Jamar. Pick 3 in the PSD could snag ... something else?!

    I personally think that we should not get Blake. To me he looks like a back-up ruckman at best. I saw Meesen as a junior and he looked like a very good player. For some reason Blake just doesn't look as if he has what it takes as he is pretty slow and not a big engine. IMO he is specialty is his tap work but everything else he does on the footy field looks quite ordinary. I'd much rather Meesen.

    Been following MFC long?

    How quickly they forget...

    Tell me about it, i am sickened by the supporters of our club just giving up on McLean after ONE average season. Look at it this way, his development has been accelerated, 06 was probably ahead of where most players are at and after a year where he has been given the top tagger for the first time and has combated injury so many supporters are willing to write him off!

    There's a good reason why we are said to be the club with the most fickle supporters.

    Meesen will come cheap. He wants to come home and we can get him for nothing in the PSD.

    In all honesty we want to get rid of Jamar. He isn't much chop, so imo a straight swap (plus the obligatory swap of late round draft picks) lands us Messen. Hopefully we get the improvement in draft picks. Then Jamar will be good for something.

    Meesen sounds allright. Much better than Jamar

    A straight swap for Jamar.

    In round 16 this year in his comeback game John Meesen's stats were 21 possessions, 9 marks and 4 goals. Not bad!

    That would be in the sanfl. However, he has played only 2 AFL games and his stats are quite underwhelming - http://au.sports.yahoo.com/afl/clubs/adela...n-meesen/250086

    By way of contrast Mark Jamar has played 52 AFL games and kicked 17 goals. If they don't want Jamarn then Messen has to be valued at less than the Russian and I'd be waiting to pick him up in the PSD because he isn't worth a further round draft pick IMO. At best we can find a trade or swap our fourth round picks - that's about it.

    I'm all for developing our list and going for youth anyway.

    tucked away in an "Australian" article

    "Melbourne believes that it will satisfy Adelaide next week and secure 21-year-old ruckman John Meesen from the Crows. "He wants to come to Melbourne and will either get him in the pre-season draft or for a third-round selection during trade week, it's up to Adelaide," Cameron said."

    so he's not exactly costing an arm or leg !! :) good !!

    Meesen's only 21, so he's worth a punt at that cost.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
