I know others rate Meek a lot higher than me, but aren’t there always ruckman like Tom Hickey around that you can just pick up for nothing? Or a guy like Sam Draper playing in a state league? To the extent there’s a difference between what Hickey, Meek or some WAFL plonker offer, is it really worth giving up a high pick over?
People are talking about Meek as if he’s Jonathan Griffin, who was a very good ruckman, who when he played often actually contributed to winning, but couldn’t make it work with Sandi in the team. Meek’s best attribute is that when he plays he doesn’t embarrass himself.
I hope I’m wrong, but if Freo are offered anything more than a late second round pick for Meek they should do their best to keep a straight face and offer to do the paperwork.
