I like Meeky, can only wish him the best.
Meek has worked very hard for his success. 26yo and has only nailed a spot as No1 ruck this season. He mentioned in that article that he understood his position at Freo and was willing to put the work in to improve himself and his game.
Lloyd also spoke about how he respected the way his parents were hard workers.
One interesting point he raised was how Sam Mitchell's wife came over and was involved in selling the Hawthorn FC to Meek and his partner. That's a good strategy and smart thinking from the HFC.

Good on him.
Hawthorn were very clever in getting meek while dumping jom on us.

Clever? That’s like saying picking the winning horse is clever. Each club made a calculated decision knowing there were many possible future outcomes.
Having a fortunate outcome eventuate doesn’t make them clever. That’s hindsight bias.
Further, there’s more to play out yet. Are they still clever if in 2025 Darcy is AA and JOM plays 25 games?
There are countless examples of stars becoming spuds and spuds becoming good players off the back of trades. Cerra is a great example. Acres when he turned it around with us.
I’m happy for the bloke. He’s having a career when he might have been forever stuck behind Darcy assuming Darcy kept up the form he had at the time of the trade.
Stumbled across this article just now and holy **** who gets paid to write this? Why are we going through the numbers of games played by each listed docker since 2017? Why are we recapping in heavy detail every single game from our 2016/17 season?
Reads as though this guy has a word count he’s trying to reach. Just such a poorly written article with very little insight into their actual player.

From de-listed to dual Club Champion
If Sam Collins was so inclined, he could be excused for mounting a photograph of ex-Fremantle coach Ross Lyon on a dart board and arming himself with a few darts. And he might like to place an annual Christmas order of a carton of French champagne to send to the now St.Kilda coach.
He certainly rambled on unnecessarily at the end. It was an interesting read until all the players games played which just seems so pointless. Also too much information about his individual games with Freo.Stumbled across this article just now and holy **** who gets paid to write this?

I was surprised when Collins was delisted but the comments about being down the pecking order were correct. A couple of matters I remember which the author didn’t include:
- multiple times at Peel there were some of the most terrible turnovers or switch kicks I’ve ever seen. In one game he took a good mark in the backline and then went to switch the kick but it scrubbered off his foot and dribbled backwards over the boundary. In the same game he did another that went to the opposition player for an easy goal.
- he played on JK in one derby and had around 7-8 goals kicked on him. Regularly struggling to keep up. It was in his second season and one of last games in purple.
To his credit went back to Melb and worked his butt off and had a good season with Werribee.
His kicking has improved and his closing speed is still not where the elite defenders are but he is a very smart defender who knows when to zone off and takes a great contested mark.
Lachie Neale will officially have played more games for Brisbane than Fremantle next week.
Currently on 135 games played for Fremantle and then 135 for Brisbane.
Will play game number 136 for Brisbane v Geelong in the prelim.

And he's played in the same amount of grand finals for the same amount of flags for both teams.
