If we really can get him for free in the PSD, I wouldn't even entertain a trade for anything other than a 4th rounder.

Thats true, but you did pick up Thompson who was a first rounder for that late pick.
I can't remember how the deal went, but you still got thommo cheaply.
Either way it sucks when a player just walks out....

Melbourne supporters at the time thought they were ahead in the trade of Maloney for Thompson. At the time Thompson was injury-prone & Maloney wasn't. A 1st round pick was reasonable. A 3rd round pick or Jamar for Meesen isn't. IMO, a 2nd rounder or he goes into the PSD.

We shall see him in the PSD in that case.
No, most of us definitely didn't think we were ahead but in the end we weren't ripped off too badly.
But from what I've heard about Meesen (and I haven't seen him play besides his brief stint in the seniors this year) pick 21 would be too much to give up for a player that is still a pretty big risk (I've seen him described as a hack, spud etc. and hasn't been given too many compliments). I would rather not get him than give up pick 21 where we could hopefully still pick up a really good player in the draft.

In getting pick 12 from Adelaide we got a fair deal, not what he was worth considering he had already shown he was going to be a gun midfielder, but a fair deal considering he was leaving the club anyway. Here Meesen is leaving Adelaide, and we have alledgedly offered a fair deal in pick 37, if it wasn't fair then other Victorian clubs would have or will offer more. If Adelaide don't accept then they can send him to the PSD.

if no one else want shim why not wait till the pre season draft............pointless wasting a pick on him if we can get him for free.........as for scott thompson, hes a mummys boy who missed his mummys breast feeding..........we didnt want to lose him he wanted to leave...
Same goes to Chris Judd, Meesen and Fergus Watts.

Well Judd is a mummy's boy, but Watts and Meesen were just trying to get out of Adelaide, you can't really blame them.

It's Moloney Kane. MOLONEY!!
And you can do better than this post. Why not take something? If you want to lose him for nothing then go for it, we certainly won't stop you.

We don't know who may end up in the preseason draft yet, so we may be dudding ourselves if we commit to him, or don't do a deal before hand.
I think you'll find that we'll give up a 3rd round draft pick for Meeson, but it won't be no.37. As part of another trade, we'll exchange 3rd round picks, which means we'll give up even less for Meeson.
Carlton and Richmond will be targeting high profile uncontracted players in the PSD, hence Meeson will fall through to pick 3.

Kepp scotty thompson out of this. He had personal reasons for going home, do you think we just would have let him go??? he loved melbourne but family member was pretty sick and it was his choice. I actually commend him on doing what he did, as in life its family first.

Well it was confirmed by the Sun that Meesen is running around for the red and blue next year.
Hopefully Jeffery can teach the lad a thing or twoBest of luck to the kid.
Might even adopt him, given my affection for ruckmen

What the club wouldnt have let him go home if he really wanted to see a sick relative if it is like u said?? are we that sick and twisted that we would have told him to stay here all pre-season long and even beyond??? thats crap and you know it, he could have had as much time off as he wanted, we wanted him to stay and would have done all we could for him......some people just miss their mummy way too much
