another thread riddled with rubbish..

dunn has been impressive the last few weeks

3 more good games

and maybe u will get some more credit freak

I've always said that he has something to offer our football club, yet most people on this site wanted him delisted at the end of the year for no apparent reason. Once again, i've shown you all up and he has shown that he deserves another contract.

Its called opportunity fellas, you cant play good footy unless you are given it.

While he has been impressive I still don't know where he will fit in at the club as part of the future? Still see him as trade bait. Especially if Melbourne decide to draft Butcher with pick 2.

Probably one of the more enlightened views regarding Dunn . Arguments aside as to his form/ability etc etc . its more where does he now fit in.

With possible Forward setups including the likes of Wonna, Petterd, Sylvia, Maric, Watts, Jurrah , Bate, Martin ( or Butcher ) what position is left for Dunny ? hes only really suited to FF or CHF and commands neither position with gusto..

On the wing perhaps ...... but there are better.

Is Freak the new breed of YzeMagic?

As we move into this next era for the MFC, seems Freak has become the new crazed poster on here lol.

Bring on 2010!

There are three of the truly dumb arguments you have festered here. And there are indeed more..

Your post is not complete without the old "a player who is 192cm tall won't make it, and Grimes and Morton can't kick".

If it wasn't for the hilarious OP, I would be inclined to agree that Dunn has actually stepped up over the past 3 weeks. I never had any issues with his skills, but his lack of courage. However he has stood a lot taller in recent times and has not ducked his head when I was expecting him to. If he can learn to get his hands on the ball more often, he may have a future because his decision making and kicking skills are both very very good, and he sure loves a goal.

That bit of anger that he showed yesterday when pinged for pushing his opponent in the back, and the fact that he's been willing to instigate physical contact (not something I would normally encourage), shows that perhaps the penny finally has dropped that you can't hide from your own shadow on a footy field.

Of course because of how ludicrous that OP was, I'm just gonna laugh at the stupidity instead

If only Grimes wasn't such a shocking kick.

If only Dunn wasn't 192 centimetres...

Freak isn't funny though.

I've always thought that he was a bit timid about being hit on the head, which was correct, but hopeful that he'll overcome this issue. I feel confident that he's on the way to getting past this issue.

His attributes of speed & endurance, plus kicking ability, are very handy to our team makeup & I would like to keep him on, to continue his developement. No hate about it.

My thoughts exactly. The questions marks over his courage, esp in marking contests, were rightly justified. I'm one of the accused "haters", and even though he's improved these last couple of games, he's far from proven in my eyes, yet.

On the right track though...

Enforcer25, i can see many paralells between he and Pettifer. Let's hope for our sake that that comparison is one that doesn't eventuate.

I tell you what, if Freak doesn't stop these narcissistic threads, I am going to pay someone $50 to go through every one of his 1400 posts to prove that he has been one the most misguided people on here...

:lol:

Please can someone just do it anyway? Just find all his psychotic quotes and post them on one thread, would be a great read.

amateurs incapable of listening.

Addressing the incorrect statements:

A 192cm wont ever make it : I never said that, I said that being 192cm will drop your name down the draft order as recruiters(and myself) see it as not an ideal height

Newton doesn't have flaws: i never said that either, i said he was better than Miller and by a long way. I still believe he is.

You can't improve your footskills: I didn't say this either, I said you can't improve your footskills 'dramatically'. Jones, Bate, Bartram, Morton etc have not improved their kicking since day 1..apart from perhaps Jones. Nevertheless all are pretty bad kicks. Richo never improved, either has buddy. Some players improve, but some don't, and some even get worse.

If someone can actually present a semi-decent argument as to why i'm wrong on any of these points, then i'd be glad to hear. But just keep in mind that it was some of you posters that have said things like:

'Moloney, Brock, Sylvia, Jones will be the next Black, Voss, Lappin, Power'

'Chris Johnson is the next Dal Santo'

'Daniel Bell has great awareness its just his decision making that lets him down'

'Miller should be captain'

'Watts should debut for Melbourne' (when he clearly wasn't ready..i've been to every casey/casey reserves game)

Edited August 10, 200916 yr by Freak

I'm still waiting for you to explain how Morton is a 'pretty bad kick' and why Grimes has a 'flawed kicking action'.

Also, Miller has already achieved more than Newton ever will at AFL level. Besides, according to you Miller is a terrible footballer, so saying that Newton is better than him is like me saying that Buckley's skills are better than Godfrey's. Wow!

Dunn can either be an onballer or a key position forward...

Dunn has never been given a fair go by the club. Whenever he gets consistent game time he performs...

It's not his fault Bails dislikes him, he is a gun player and I think we'd be stupid not to sign the fella up for 3 years...Hell we did for Bell and he's shocking at least Dunn has clean skills!

Newton doesn't have flaws: i never said that either, i said he was better than Miller and by a long way. I still believe he is.

Only two months ago you said......

If Watts can get a game after 22 soft touches in the vfl then newton should get promoted after taking 5 contested marks a week, 18 or so touches and several goals a week. Not to mention his chasing and tackling. I still maintain he is a 50+ goal a year forward. Has no flaws. His kicking isnt even a flaw..its a great asset of his that simply is a bit out of form.

You did say Newton had no flaws and you have raved incessantly about his skills on other threads.

Want to squirm some more Freak??

You can't improve your footskills: I didn't say this either, I said you can't improve your footskills 'dramatically'.

Regardless, of the word "dramatically", you are still wrong and were proven wrong at the time. I gave you three players at the time you made the comment (eg Robbo and Loewe) who had dramatically improved their kicking over their career. Another absolute statement echoing profound naivety

At best you're a pseudo intellectual weasel with no substance behind an oversized ego and a severely undersized understanding of the game.

Is everyone forgetting Freaks call about Garry Ablett Jr.? He's a good player because he has a body shape that is hard to tackle! HA HA!

And before the weasel denies another clanger.

Ablett is simply good because his body shape is impossible to tackle.

In fact the whole thread is series of clanger for our both feet in mouth expert.....

I think this one works on a number of different levels...

I've been one of those voices who have virtually writing him off, but I must admit his recent performances have been just what the team needs, a priority pick.

I'm not sure I agree with you, but nicely written all the same.

I had always rated petterd as our best youngster (and so far he has shown he is very close to that) when people were saying that if we lost him to the gold coast he was no big loss :S.

I wouldn't be bragging about that one.

Petterd's been handy but I don't think he's cemented a spot in our best 18.

Btw, say 'hi' to Grimes, Jurrah, Garland, Frawley etc.

'Daniel Bell has great awareness its just his decision making that lets him down'

Jaded, were you responsible for this chestunt?

Don't think so, unless I was in a rush and mixed the two up, because I think Bell's skills and decision making is alright, but his awareness is poor.

'Watts should debut for Melbourne' (when he clearly wasn't ready..i've been to every casey/casey reserves game)

So whats your point? You're saying he shouldn't have debuted? You mean, cos he didn't dominate?

You think he won't learn from the experience, that it wasn't valuable for him?

Oh... i get it, we would've won those games if he didn't play, I see...

Does that also mean McNamara and Bail shouldn't have debuted last round?

That jetta and Bennell shouldn't have played their first couple of games because they had little impact?

Grimes shouldn't have played the last game of last season, because it obviously affected his development?

Keep them coming sherlock...

This, I agree with.

he has shown that he deserves another contract.

This is debatable, though I would say that he has improved since coming back into the team.

Once again, i've shown you all up

This is not true. Well, the 'once again' isn't.

Phew!

Hey Rhino, why don't you really say what you think of him.

Beats me how you people can have the time to read all this rubbish. Does Centrelink operate as an internet cafe?

I agree with Freak re Dunn. Problem is however, that based upon some comments by Connolly who was speaking on the ABC before Saturday's game, [W.B v W.C] the club regards Dunn as a defensive tagger ala Cameron Ling. With his goal-kicking skills I hope he gets more opporrtunity in a decent team to run forwrd
