maybe , just maybe the thinking is.. sign him on 2... he does or doesnt(play). If he doesnt its easier to trade him contracted !! Its just a thought !! :)

    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

  • Quote

    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 !!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
