Whenever I think of Meesen it always reminds me of that silver atrocity we wore as an alternative strip. There is a photo of him in it out there somewhere.

. When melbourne recruited him and Pickers on fox footy draft coverage mentioned Melbourne giving him a lifeline. I'd never heard of him at that point. My other memory was when melbourne were travelling really badly. The media liked laying the boots into our poor recruiting. Someone in the media scoffed at melbourne because we had traded Thompson to Adelaide for Meesen. It annoyed me because Scott Thompson trade happened 3 years before we drafted Meesen. It's just lazy journalism. Lay the boots in but at least be accurate.

Billings is useless too, hate him.
Him and Richo can go **** off back the Saints Kilda, pricks.

Why hasn't Hunter been delisted yet?

 

[Jamurp]

Why hasn't Hunter been delisted yet?

Because we’re scared he’ll release a tell all book about our shitty culture ala Dave Warner.

Surely he's gone? Would have thought he'd be first out the door.

Trac is probably just pissed off he let Heeney take a speccie on him

 

[Scythe94]

I'm already bored of this tbh. He leaves, we miss finals. He stays, we also miss finals. C'est la vie

Legit no win situation. He looks bad, we look terrible.

Must be gearing up for a potrntial position change into Tracs role...

I’m just sad man. Even with the failings since 2021 I was looking forward to him and Oliver retiring as demon greats. Now one is ****ed and the other ****ing hates us

Yeah, definitely heading down the path of #eco currently. Thought after 2021 the wheel had finally turned and we were set up for some sustained success.

Ever since mid-2022, it's been embarrassment after embarrassment. No club can cannibalise itself quite like Melbourne.

Pickett home sick.

Melbourne fan favourite expresses homesick concerns to club

The club is suddenly dealing with an end-of-year crisis and trying to stop a player exodus.

Richmond are the only big Vic club with the draft capital to appease the Dees demands and to suit brand Petracca and his wish to play in front of big crowds rolls eyes to get the deal done.

How about Pick 6, which Richmond will get from GC as comp for Daniel Rioli, as well as Tom Lynch to the Dees for 'the Brand'?.

Ok... as long as you pizz off lynch from the deal. He's dead wood.

Pick 6 + an early 2nd Rnd'r from this draft 2024. Plus the Tiges future 1st Rnd pick.

 

[Crusty Demon]

So two contracted players now homesick and our best player wants out? If Trac and Koz go there will literally be no reason at all to watch us. Good times

Don’t worry we will still have Oliver, Sparrow and Viney

I just don't see Trac agreeing to go to a club about to go through a lengthy rebuild with their star players wanting out. Essendon is probably the only option that could satisfy both Trac and Dees. But if he doesn't want to drive an hour out to Casey, then I doubt he'd drive an hour to Tullamarine.

This could be the worst off season ever think I will age another 10 years in the next 2 months.

Hi All
Sorry for jumping in again

Have heard from good sources that if right deals are offer
Melbourne will enter a full rebuild and restructure

This includes Oliver, Trac, Pickett, May and Lever

Though Lever and May would be the least likely due to age

What a mess this is turning into. I wish Crows would just offer Goody a 10 year deal so he'd f* off. That would give us something to cheer about at least. Hopefully Matty Whelan can fix the issues Koz has but the danger signs are real now. But both Trac and Koz are contracted. So who knows. Unless both come out and officials for a trade I'll hold hope both will stay. Who knows

Lever is younger than Trac.

I think a lot of us would welcome a full rebuild. As long as the coach is gone and probably a few in admin also. But I don't buy that Pert, Roffey etc would welcome a full blown rebuild. With Tas coming, it might be the best option unfortunately. I just don't see us doing it.
