John Meeson

[crows dude]

Hi guys

as a Norwood supporter in the Sanfl I was wondering whats happening with Meeson.

Has he been delisted as looking through your 2009 team thread no one has him in their first 30.

 

[master bate]

I don't think he has and I don't think he will be. It seems we gave him a two year deal and with out finances and ruck situation we can't afford to delist him. Quite rightly he is not in anyones best 30 as Jamar and PJ will be our starting ruck combination next year. He is then equal 3rd in line with promising rookie Jake Spencer. Meesen had a poor season with only a few good games for Sandringham, no doubt he will have a good preseason but he will need to lift a few cogs to be competitive at AFL level and keep his career alive. Obviously with only 3 senior ruckman and none of them looking premiership level (maybe PJ as a second stringer) I'd be very surprised if we didn't draft a ruckman in the national draft.

He is still on our list but may struggle to get a game unless PJ and Jamar both break down. Didn't exactly shine at Sandi last year.

*** Insert joke about Meesen 'tearing up the track' during pre-season training here ***

How did you rate him when he was playing for Norwood? SANFL is a similar level to VFL and i'd be interested to here what you thought of him at that level.

Because for us in the VFL he's been average (and that's being nice). I think i remember one positive match report, most of the VFL coach reports on Meesen started with "today wasn't John's best game for the club...". Later in the year he was even starting to be surpassed by a rookie listed ruckman and he was no where near getting into the senior team.

I'd quite confidently call him the Melbourne BF supporters least favourite player

This guy coulden't crack it for a single senior game in a wooden spoon side. Say no more.

John Meesen:

'putting the 'hope' back into 'hopeless'...

 

[jo172]

I always thought he'd make an interesting wingman, good speed, fitness and skills.

Hopeless ruckman though!

 

[Trav 20]

It seems we gave him a two year deal

A point of correction. Meesen was given a 3 year contract. Get used to him.







At the Scorpions.

Have heard that Meeson was told last Friday that hes foot wont ever heal, similar to Matthew Egan and because of this will be delisted at the end of the year. Very sad news for him showed the he could play last year and you dont ever want anyone to see a players career end this year.

 

[TelkoTheGreat]

how did he do that injury again? was it in a game? I can't even remember

 

[stabler]

never heard of him.

Stress fractures wasn't it?

 

[Deefolt]

would explain why he was ruck coach at casey, look like he has a new job already lol..

would also explain why he had a number to his name then gone back to indefinite in the injury report
