Ruck Option: Meesen?

Re: Ruck Option: Meesen?

Crow fans seem fairly keen on keeping Meeson.
I think we should look at rookie-ing a maturish VFL player - Fanning played well against us and would be good insurance against injury.

More about loyalty to one of there own and the fact that he was a first round pick.

Neil Craig didn't exactly give him the same endorsement.

To be honest, I've never seen him play either, but he's big, a Victorian who might want to go home (ie. gettable), young and three years ago all the blokes who should know thought he was good.

Terry Wallace theory. I generally concur with this idea, but ruckman are such projections it really is hard to tell.

Well, he's finally progressed to playing seniors for Norwood the last few weeks, which I guess would be pleasing for them, not that it's really any surprise as Norwood has no outstanding ruck and Messen was doing the league's rucks for most of last year. Don't think it's so much trying to 'push his trade value up' although, given it's the Adelaide media, I wouldn't be surprised.

Re: Ruck Option: Meesen?

I think the Crows would want a first round selection for him but it's too much. I also don't think Eade wants pure ruckman and prefers the mobile options like Darcy. Lachlan Henderson is one of the better forward/ruckman in the draft this year and might be worth our first round selection.

Unless the Crows want a late 2nd round pick for him or someone like Faulkner I don't I would chase after him.
