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.

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 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.

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......

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.

Why would we want another ruckman is the draft?

We have 4 already.

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.

We have 4 already.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
