I hate to say I told you so but...

I told you so.

Dunn is in our best 22 and should have never been dropped. Whenever Dunn plays he hits the scoreboard. Another 2 goals today and named in the best. All of those people who think he had nothing to offer this club take a good hard look at yourself (90% of ppl on this site). If you can't see the obvious talent that Dunn has then I'm worried about you. He would be a 45-50 goal a year forward.

 

I never realised how hard it is to type when you are laughing hysterically...

Whether or not Dunn continues his decent form of late, you have been wrong about so much, for so long that a thread like this is so undeserved it's bordering on narcissistic perversion.

Newton can become a good AFL player...

Jack Grimes has a fundamental flaw in his kicking...

Anyone else have anymore gems from Freak?

Yeah, I have a pearler.

"190-192 centimetre players are useless in the AFL."

Well guess how tall Dunn is...

 

I always think Lynden Dunn is always trying to be creative, when it comes off its great. Conversly sometimes it doesn't

But i think he will improve next year big time.

When you do an "I told you so" It's best reserved for when someone does a Sylvia, and kicks four goals, gets 35+ touches... Monsters a game.

Dunn was barely in our best. It was a good-serviceable game.

Oh, and you're wrong about the "never should have been dropped." He was, for large chunks of the year, nowhere near in our best 22. If he'd made the side it would have been unfair to better performed players playing a similar role.

Oh. And when he does the same against a football side... not the local grandma's sewing circle that turned up yesterday, then we'll take notice.

You told us Freak, over and over, but he proved only so much yesterday. Calm down.

....Its just like Newton has no flaws... and forward defensive pressure is overrated.

Freak must have been typing it one handed. :rolleyes:

 

Dunn proved yesterday that he is a good VFL player.

I'm going to attempt to take this seriously. Going forward I see our forward structure being something like:

FF: Wona Watts Jetta

HFF: Sylvia Miller Jurrah

Obviously the aim is to get our midfielders to also rotate through the area, guys like Green, Grimes, Blease and the new guys.

I just can't see a spot for him when we're serious about winning games, perhaps Jetta but I love the pressure he provides. Even so I'd prefer Davey taking Jetta's place, not Dunn.

Dunn has perhaps bought himself another couple of years with his recent performances but he is still only a depth player.

Would love for him to prove me wrong though


Dunn is rubbish. Still has never had a really good game.

He is just in our 22 now when we are tanking but come next year, as soon as we have a healthy list and a few more young talented players he wont be a starting 22 player. Just not good enough unfortunately, Shame we wasted such a high pick on him.

Hopefully you are the recruiting manager at one of the 15 other clubs as all Dunn did yesterday was create some trade value. Is not a best 22 player.

Dunn's a bit of an average player, but I'd have him ahead of Miller in that forwardline. I just wonder if his time is up? He was hapless yesterday.

No Petterd?

Yeah, I have a pearler.

Oh, snap.

Check mate.

Game over.

Oh, remembered another - Morton can't kick as well as Palmer and we should grabbed him instead at Pick 4.

Thats my personal favourite.

Petterd will be in the midfield hopefully, down back and forward.

Despite Freak bringing it up, he makes a good point. Dunn has shown good form since he came back to the team. I've been quite happy with him.

Much better than Newton.

Now I am laughing.

I heard Grimes is playing in Albury next week.

Dropped for his fundamentally flawed kicking action which has seen him have such a poor second season.

As if we wasted pick 14 on this dud.

He is hopeless, seriously, his kicking action is so flawed he nearly bloody won us the game yesterday and made us lose Scully. Get rid of him! :wub:

How about that 45 metre pass to Cheney along the boundary that never went higher than 4 metres, hitting him dead on the chest?

Shocking.

Technically it was a shank. He meant to centre the ball :lol:

Interesting, because I'm pretty sure McMahon was trying to put it on the full.

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
