I thought he was very good pre finals. But looked out of his depth since. I'd still give him a bit more time. Hopefully he can turn it around if not then sure , out.

The drop off since round 22 has been stark. Really, really disappointing end to what was a building season.
Sorry but he will never be more than what he is now which isn’t AFL standard. Wouldn’t get listed with another club.
Perryman is after midfield minutes, this is where he’s getting them.
Mead should be playing reserves and until he’s a consistent dominant mid at that level shouldn’t be getting a look at the 1s.

Everyone writing him off, he is a midfielder being played out of position. We have 6 mids to be rotating through the centre 2025.

Probably be fighting with Lorenz, Sinn, possibly Jackson for a starting 22 next year. Just one of those guys who needs to play on the edge week to week to survive at this level.

If we get stuck with Ken next year, trade. Unfortunately under Ken we won't see any change from him.
If we get Carr, definitely keep Mead around for a year or two. See how he performs under a new gameplan / postiion.

He's a depth midfielder who has been shoehorned into a half forward role for which he has zero affinity for

Overall, I’m not disappointed Mead was gifted a full year of games; he’s a young player we took early. Better to let him sink or swim than never give him a chance. SANFL is his level for now and will provide some experienced depth if we need, but unless there’s some serious improvement, he shouldn’t be a regular next year.
Have we been really harsh with Sam Gray considering what Mead and McEntee offer?
At present he’s a second string midfielder who’s not capable of playing in any other position.
I certainly wouldn’t delist him, & like others have said he might benefit from playing under a better system.
