Hahaha what? Football 30 years ago was a completely different sport what's the point in this comparison

He's the one who reminds me most of Roger James, strong compact body, plays low to the ground and wins contested ball in congestion. Probably not Roger's skill level just yet, but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year.

 

[Nemisis]

Just goes to show what hard work can do to a fringe player. I didn't think he was good enough but he has shown this year he is a competent AFL player. I love how he shows his enjoyment during the game.

comparison. I don't see it but I have rose coloured glasses when it comes to James, Francou, Dew etc.

 

[Sneeky]

He is similar to Cam O'Shea except shorter, has less tattoos and plays a different position.

Finals O'Shea or regular season?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

 

[Gravel]

Boy, did I get this guy wrong. I would have cut him last year, but what an improved season and now an important member of the team. Well done.

Mead says more detail during the week in the oppo reports helped vs the dogs.

Jordy stepping up.

 

[Ant Bear]

I'm just pleased that we have signed a player with two fully functional arms, as opposed to our latest extension

 

[cosmicwinduptoy]

This guy was always going to make it. Sydney didn't bid a second round pick on him for nothing.

they are also campaigners

 

[Duckimus Prime]

2 years sucks, would like to lock him away for 5

He's extending from a low performance base, so a long contract would be a negative for Mead.

2 years, lets him solidify a position in best 22/3 and then sign a big contract through his prime years as a 24 year.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Look y'all may hate me for going after a young player here, but I actually cannot think of one single thing Mead does well at AFL level.

Nope he got shown up big time tonight.. he wasn’t on his own but he’s just an sanfler

Just a small plodder

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

if you're a small plodder, you need something special

he doesn't have that

honest tryer- easily replaced and wouldn't be missed

When you have Mead Evans McEntee and Narkle in the same side in a final you are in trouble also highlights our complete lack of depth.

 

[gbear]

Another Clurey. Under a new coach will spend the next two years playing in the SANFL.

 

[Rash]

him.evans,cheese and narkle are not sanfl or afl players.

 

[Visenfest]

No standout qualities, and to me, doesn’t even do the basics that well. Also a deer in headlights in big games. Not sure how much of a future he really has.

 

[Chrizzt]

Small, not quick, doesn't find heaps of the footy, not an elite user, no marking ability at all.

One play summed up his futility at AFL level last night, he got the ball, baulked around an opponent looking for an open teammate - fair enough, well done - couldn't find a teammate so just dumped an around the body kick as far forward as he could. Again, not ideal but fair enough that is just the option sometimes. Problem is, he can only kick 25 metres, so the kick was gobbled up by Geelong and they went inside 50 for a goal.

He's young enough, and we have higher priority players to get rid of, that I'm fine with him having another year but unless there's some paradigm shift in how he plays footy I'm expecting to not see him at AFL level again.

 

[TeeKray]

What a massive overreaction. He's taken big steps this year. Literally everyone played badly last night, it's ridiculous to write him off based on that game.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Can see him taking Butters midfield minutes and blossoming next week… but the minutes will be given to JHF, Connor and Drew…

 

[Schulzenfest]

What a massive overreaction. He's taken big steps this year. Literally everyone played badly last night, it's ridiculous to write him off based on that game.

Nah. He's just not very good and never has been. Nothing substantial changed about his form, Hinkley just started picking him every week. That in and of itself doesn't make someone a good footballer.

He's another Sam Gray. Better than the absolute dregs of the list, but if he retired tomorrow we wouldn't miss him.
