    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 :)

    Checking calendar...

    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.

  • Quote
    why did the briefest thought that Jamar is going to a gorilla backman? Thats sorta how Nicho started isn't it? ruckman to backman? thoughts?

    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 !!

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
