Would've liked us to have shown a bit more bottle and let him go in the PSD, but I'm not upset at losing pick 37 for him.

    I'd rather have pick 3 in the PSD than pick 37 in the ND.

    It's not a good idea to start pissing clubs off, especially over a "could-be" like Meesen. You don't want to burn your bridges in the trade game.

    We haven't allowed ourselves to get rogered here (Adelaide wanted #21), so overall I'm happy.

    Adelaide do kind of owe us one. We did give them the player who is likely to be their premier centreman for the next 5 years for pick 12. I hear what your saying though, Nasher.

    Well done CAC and demons, lets hope we get good karma from letting Thommo go and excel in adelaide

    I note that he has magically grown a centimetre and is now 201cm.

  • Quote

    Any bleating from Adelaide fans on this one should be met with raucous laughter. They plucked one of their best players from us with ten years ahead of him for pick 12. That's not even mentioning that they took Nathan Bassett for Matthew Collins and Brent Williams.

    John Meesen from Adelaide for pick 37

    Outstanding.. That's one down, one to go.

    "John Meesen was excited after signing the final paper work telling melbournefc.com.au ´”I am really thrilled to be joining the Melbourne Football Club and can’t wait to get stuck into pre-season training on October 31.” "

    That's the attitude i want, good work son.

    Nice. Happy to see him traded for instead of picked up in PSD.

    That number 3 pick can now be used on a good player who may be able to play with us straight away.

  • Quote

    If we indeed do get pick 14 for TJ

    We will have Meesen, Pick 3 in PSD

    And

    Pick 4, 14, 21 in the Draft

    Im liking how things may turn out..

    And I love meesens comments about being excited, wonder if he supported us as a kid? He did request us as his club he wanted to go to, anyone know why?

    I would've said stuff them, we'll pick him up anyway in the PSD but taking a step back, i think your right.

    Looking long term, Burning bridges will only come back to bite u on the arse.

    We've got Meesen, still lurking around Moran. I'm excited.

    That to me is an indication White will not ruck next year.

    Oh happy days. happy days.

    Probably the lack of competition to be the clubs #1 ruckman......

  • Quote

    Looks like a good deal, we need a ruck replacement for White and PJ and Jamar are not setting the house on fire. If Meesen's better then we've got a ready-to-go option with 10 years of footy ahead of him. Hope we can also pick up another one in the draft.

    Good stuff, welcome to the MFC Meesen.

    Why would we want another ruckman is the draft?

    We have 4 already.

  • Quote

    Just reading the AFC board on Bigfooty.

    Their stoked with the trade as they reckon Meeson is bad rubbish.

    "Waste of a first round pick"

    "Soft c..k"

    "Runs to the wrong places"

    "Immature"

    "Good runner, crap footballer"

    "2 games in 3 years"

    Sour grapes or reality?

    Grapes. Imagine we sunk 3 years into a number 8 pick, then got pick 37 for him. I wouldn't be happy.

    White is close to retirement.

    The other two are NQR. And one or both will be gone by the end of 2008.

    Meesen is no certainty to make it in AFL.

    We need to ensure we have a quality young ruckman coming through.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
