Meesen Might Be On The Move
The Crows had to choose another ruckman to replace Ben Hudson for this week, it was Jonathon Griffin or John Meesen. During preseason the choice was made for them as to which one of the young ruckmen would play, as Meesen was injured, but this time both players were healthy and performing at SANFL level. With Biglands back next season, and Tippett also on the list now, Meesen could be a big name during the upcoming trade week.
A tall, Victorian ruck prospect is something that plenty of teams will be interested in. Maybe not the Cats, Kangaroos and Bombers, and possibly also the team that gets pick 1 in the draft, but the rest of the Victorian teams will be interested.
Collingwood need to find not only help for Fraser next year but a replacement for him down the road. Melbourne are in the same situation with Jeff White. The Ruck spot is the big problem for the Saints, they have tried a few ruckmen from the Power and might be interested in trading for the Crows’ ruckman this time. The Bulldogs would be another team that Meesen would be a good fit for, maybe Minson for Meesen might be something that happens during the trade week.
From The Advertiser: Meesen trade rumours buzzing
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Meesen won't be helping fantasy teams this week but Maric and Griffin could provide some useful stats. When they have been the backup to Hudson, both Maric and Griffin have provided fantasy points by going forward and kicking some goals. This week one of them, probably Maric, gets a lot more hitouts than usual and a big increase in fantasy points. No need to sign any of them for this week only, as Hudson should play next week, but if Maric is sitting on a fantasy bench he could start this week. Fantasy teams that signed both Hudson and Griffin might have expected Griffin to be useful during the year, due to Hudson's history of injuries, but now Griffin could help a few fantasy teams and might be of assistance to a team that has Simmonds in the ruck.
