We just lost neita. Buckets will surely follow. Forwardline depth will be an issue, and dunn will get his chances.

He stays!

    When I watched Dunn in his early(-ier) days at AFL level I thought he looked like a 'natural' forward. However, he doesn't seem to have the body of the KPP that some people wish he was.

    Up forward he plays more like a small forward than a KPP. There's a reason why he's not playing for Melbourne and just going at Sandy.

    Physically Dunn and Frawley have the frame to fill out to be KPP but do they have the mentality to play the KPP?

    who knows but i'll definitely give them time.

    With no Robbo, Holland and possibly Newton not playing this weekend, surely he has to get a chance on the forward line.

    is this another case of a talented and Melbourne listed player just being absorbed into the ether?

    what a waste...

    GET OUT ON THE FIELD AND PLAY THE BEST FOOTY YOU CAN FOR F$$K SAKE LYNDEN.

    I'd like to see Dunn played in a Ryan O'Keefe style role off a half forward flank. He's got a pretty good engine and would compliment Miller and Bate also pushing up the ground.

    I like this idea, but going forward we're going to play Miller and Bate as high leading half forwards, and Sylvia's body will never allow him to play full games in the midfield, so he's going to be rotating through half forward and the midfield. That's how half forward setup going forward, with Davey and Wona moving up and down between wing and the forward pocket. We need a full forward still, and while Dunn has great goal sense, he isn't a strong enough lead/mark to play full forward.

    Two years ago I had him pencilled in in the role that Bate is now playing, with Bate playing more in the midfield. That's gone the other way now, and that's fine as Bate can play that role well, but I'd like to see Dunn up forward and not in the midfield. That said, I'm finding it hard to fit him in.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
