I am interested to know what all you demons out there think of how we have gone in the trade this week.
I here this Meeson guy is 201 cm and was one of the fittest blokes running round for the crows last year. Came third in their pre-season trials or something like that. So we know the boy can run, we know the boy has some height to him, but does he have any skills? Its all well and good if he can run out the game, but can he be effective when he gets the ball? Also, what do you think should happen to Jamar and Johnson. Both have showed some potential in our positions but really couldnt hold there own in a key position. If Meeson starts to do well, will we have 2 listed ruckman playing Sandy.... Now that seems a bit pointless. Jeff White is one of the best ruckman running around and if this Meeson bloke can be one of the best backup ruckman running round, we could be giving our midfielders first use of the ball against anyone, even when White needs a rest... Thats something to be excited about.
I was sadden to hear all of the Travis experience to unfold this week. I have loved watching him occasionally turn a game on its head over the last 10 years, but as hard as it is to say, its time for him to move on. I think he will be an absolute danger under Leigh Mathiews next year, that coach is known for getting inside his players heads and getting them right. Also, we all know Travis loves a beer and loves to hit up the town, so maybe if he gets away from the scene down in Melbourne he will finally fully concentrate on the game that we all know he can play. No one has ever doubted Travis's ability, but we all knew his work effort was to be questioned. With Leigh and the Lions he could be playing his best football ever, next year. I hope all you demons get behind him and wish him luck for the rest of his career.
But what the [censored] do we get from him? Pick 14. Fair enough first round. But this guy is at least worth their pick 8. He will be in there top 5 players next year, id put my house on it.
So demons, let me know what you think? I'm very interested to hear the voice down at demonland.
