The Meesiah is done... =>

[Deefolt]

Announced on twitter that he "Is now officially a part time student, part time development coach at the mighty demons!" the fact that he didn't say anything about being a player says enough for mine.

I feel sorry for him. But great to see he can still do something with the footy club

Best of luck to him.

He showed a bit in the couple of games he played early last year and if it wasn't for a terrible run with injury who knows he might have made it.

In the end as with any player whose career is curtailed by injury its a sad story

Glad club could keep him in coaching role. hopefully he is used well

Wait, who are we talking about here? WATTS?! O_O

If you're not joking, John Meesen

 

[CM Sean]

I wasn't joking tbh, I read it wrong. I thought it was Messiah as in Watts because that's what everyone was calling him around his debut n such lol. Gave me a fright, I was like... why are we happy?

Now I get it, all good XD

So we take an inexperienced ruckman who barely played AFL as a ruck coach?

I'm sure he has some ability but I hope part of the reason he was given this role wasn't for the sake of letting him go gently.

I don't think "part time development coach" puts you that far up the coaching tree.

DB's coffee doesn't order itself, you know.

I hope they make him the russians personal servant.

Completely agree mate - he did have real potential, and I reckon he would've been good value in tandem with the Russky if he'd not had such severe injury problems...

Can picture Meesen spilling coffee all over him.

Sad to see the end of Meeson. Never really got a chance because his body let him down but I've heard good things about his work as a ruck coach with the young guys at Casey/Dees. Good luck to him and hopefully he can make a go of footy in a behind the scenes role.
