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:

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?

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.

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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
