Is John Meesen Worth Looking At For Next Year?

[Leysy Days]

Simmonds for Fiora,

Technically not true TD

Black for Simmo, Simmo for Fiora.

the player Freo gained can play

Gotta dissagree there Mel, the guy is one of the biggest front-runners in the league.

On Patto Disco, Hope I'm wrong but personally I dont hold much.

No hope for Pattison with another year's development behind him?

I like Patto - but he's not a ruckman and never will be one.

He is a Workhorse Centre Half Forward. That should be the role he is developed for.

At the moment we have Troy Simmonds as our only ruckman and were desperately found out when he was injured. Trent Knobel is gone and Angus Graham not ready and may never be. I have a serious problems with the way we have structured the list - this is a case in point why.

Ryan Willits can play ruck???
Melbourne kid and good hea don his shoulders!!
Doubt PA would let him go!!! Was 2 picks after PAtto

Fair enough bob. I was only really going on CC's glowing reports from pre season anyway. ;D I agree Patto's best form in real games has been at CHF and pushing up the ground a bit. The thing is though he tested very highly for endurance at the draft camp so you'd reckon they planned on using him in the running ruck role at some point.

I think as releiving a ruckman around the ground could be a role for him but he has a very small leap so any centre bounces and we are in trouble.

His endurance makes him perfect for that leading up CHF role. I am still asking why he is not playing that role......

Patto - Leading CHF
Hughes - Stay at home CHF
Riewoldt - Forward Floater
Schulz - Full Forward

Maybe a tad top heavy buut no reason why it couldn't work in the future.

 

[Disco08]

Yeah agree again that he doesn't look good at the centre bounces. He goes OK at throw ins and ball ups though and should get better as he gets stronger.

As Shawry will attest to, Meeson has been rubbish for Norwood thus far. If we gave up anything at all for him it would not want to be much. Proposed trades of Meyer for Meeson would see the Crows do far better than us out of the deal.

 

[justice]

forget about trades

its time the club got off their backsides and did some damage and get something of quality in the PSD, we are no doubt going to be in a good position so do something about it miller!

Alizee in your avatar would be worth having a look at for next year.

That's my mail too. The Crows have a stellar program over there that produces good footballers. IF he cannot make it over there I would not bother with him. Get two this draft. One via the National and one in the rookie.

if he was on our list currently everybody would be calling for him to be delisted :

No, your right. That should read most people would be calling for him to be delisted, not everybody.
