I remember when this site went into melt-down before the 2006 Semi Final when Jamar missed the game. Things have changed haven't they :blink:

I'm happy to have him on for 2008. With Meeson, White, Jamar and PJ - we'll have quite a handy ruck stable with plenty of depth, which can only be a good thing.

2 year contract is a bit rich, but I'm guessing their planning for the post White era.

I really am thinking along Jaded's lines.. Ruck stock: White > Jamar >Meeson. With PJ regroomed as something else...but can pinch hit in ruck should injuries cause things to go south.

That doesnt look too bad all things considered for 08 :)

Agree. No need to chase Blake, Jolly etc.

isnt meeson also a ruckman we are getting

white pj,jamar,meeson thats plenty

How is it plenty?

White will be gone soon, so that leaves three.

Neither PJ, Jamar, or Meesen have established themselves as a #2 ruck, let alone a first ruck.

Keep in mind...im suggesting that line up is for 08.. 09 may be different again depending on performances !!

We can all sit back and want to trade this bloke for that etc etc..ad nauseum.. However..it takes two to tango. If the reciprocal trades arent available then you can only do what you can do. Im sure htis is the pragmatic approach being taken by Bailey. Do what you can, work with what you have, change as you can change !!

You wont get everything you really want...just some of it; unless youre just dead lucky come trade/drafting.

The thing that disturbs me about the article is that CAC seems to be rejecting a Jamar for Meesen deal

So either CAC is confident we will get Meesen in the PSD

Or CAC is willing to throw away a 3rd riunder on Meesen when we can give away Jamar instead

Id rather give away the useless Jamar

somewhere I recall reading that no one else is interested in Meeson.. well not Richmond or Carlton.. so CAC has offered the Crows some meagre morsel...and either they bite at that or we will grab him in the PSD if no trade forthcoming.

he wont cost us much any which way

Just based on reading posts it seems Meeson may be considered soft generally so you wouldn't spend much.

CAC has been quoted as stating we'll offer Adelaide our 3rd round pick, yeah.

Jamar worth more than a 3rd round pick? Apparently so.

I guess ruckman take a while to develop, and this year's draft is apparently 'weak'.

Get rid of Jamar- PJ is a gem- sensational in defence and better than Jamar around the ground and in the ruck. He was pretty cut when he got dropped for jamar late in the season

Agree Rogue.

Plenty of what. Both Jamar and PJ have shown they struggle at AFL level. Meesen is an unknown with a questionable development period.

While I am happy we cut Neaves, I would like us to rookie a young tall player with a future.

If we sign Jamar for two years then PJ better lift his game as he comes out of contract in 2008.

I don't mind if Jamar stays or not but I am keen on Meesan as he could be very good. If your worried about having only 4 ruckmen there is an abundance of ruckmen in this years draft which gives us time to develop.

Oh no not nicho again will the memories ever go away.

what was the real problem with Neaves ?? From what I observed he seemed a likely one... seemed to be coming along ok!!

was a bit surprised he was sent packing.. Is there a back story ?

Considering the talk on these forums regarding Neaves, I was a bit surprised too.

However, once he was delisted the view seemed to be that Neaves was a bit slow around the ground etc - remind you of anyone? :P

I haven't seen much of Neaves, and that was only on ABC TV, but I thought we might have kept him on in '08 as our third year rookie.

While I am happy we cut Neaves, I would like us to rookie a young tall player with a future.

I'd like us to rookie another young tall too.

So it seems a lot of you people think that re-signing Jamar and Miller is a joke I can then assume that you think Bailey is now a joke too? as he would have had an input into it, gee one minute hail to the chief, next what a fool, why don't we wait to see what unfolds in a couple of weeks !!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
