The fact still remains that if Dunn had shown us he was good enough we wouldn't be having this discussion. I still hold a glimmer of hope for him but let's face it what we've seen so far hardly leaves you salivating for more. The FD know exactly where he is at. I've no doubt he'll be given enough of an opportunity this year. In the end it's up to Dunn.

I Find the Situation with Dunn (& to a lesser Degree Matt Bate) but Mainly Dunn-He came into the side as a fairly good forward line was starting to tire & since has been around a forward line & Midfield that has been sub standard.

Because of this i don't think we can really ascertain where Lynden Dunn is in terms of his career yet. There is something about him i like, & i want to see him play once the midfield is up and gaining confidence. Lynden Dunn needs a few consecutive games, sure he has to earn them but i hope it happens. We need him, he could be the loose cannon up forward.

Play a Blinder Dunny....7 Goals over there!!!!!

to be honest i dont expect aussie to kick any goals.. go out there get a feel of the pace of the game.. get a couple of kicks and play him maybe for a half. il be a very happy man if this happens.

go dees

The Goals do not matter so much, i hope to see a little chemistry just start to grow between Wonna & L.J. on saturday. Just a flash will do

So to speak.

I am looking for just a BIT of cohesive forward line system. Smart leading, clever passing. Luckily this is one of Wonna's strengths. On the minus side neither of those guys have huge kicks on them, which would mean one will have to work up the ground a bit I would have thought, to give the other room to get possession within range.

Also, they picked a bad week to first play together. That's a misery defence. Especially with us. Remember last season? Ye Gods.

congrats to wonna for making it back...he's seems like the kinda player who will always have a feel for it provided he is fit.

i think this will allow brad green to move up the ground,,,i would like to see green and davey delivering it into the forward line...

Also we do not have a strong onball group picked for the game with Col, Beamer and Davey (even though he spent most of his time across half back last year) out. There could be a fair old lack of supply into our fwd line this week. Will be intersting to see the defensive pressure the fwds apply this week as Adelaide stream out of defense with such speed.

Great news about Aussie, and thank goodness we're resting our senior players, especially the injury prone ones in Davey, Moloney and Sylvia. The last thing we need is another long term injury sustained in a meaningless practice game.

you are taking the p!ss right?

He's been tried in more positions than Madonna and hasnt been any good in any of them.

I think most believe that Dunn should played in one particular spot over a sustained period of time rather thrown around everywhere. id like to see him played as a lead up forward or maybe on a forward flank, his got the size the engine and as he has been used as a run with player he must have the speed, lets just see him hold a position down and see what his really got.

He can also kick goals. That automatically puts him ahead of some of our automatic picks.

Good of you to speak on behalf of "most people".

Im not saying he cant play football, im saying that to this point he has shown zero potential to break out like Sylvia.

Sylvia has always had great endeavour for the ball, aggression towards the opponent and can break lines. Although Dunn may have potential, so do I, but you wont see me going through the banner on the weekend.

Interesting to note the club has decided NOT to take Wona to Adelaide. the clubs website states that Forwards Austin Wonaeamirri and Matthew Bate will play an intra club practice match with VFL team Casey Scorpions tonight, after a decision was made not to play them in this weekends NAB Challenge game.

Wonaeamirri missed the entire 2009 season with injury, and will be aiming to throw his hat into the ring for selection in Round 1.

Better to be safe than sorry.And great to see that our Melbournefc website reported this - to our members and supporters FIRST.

On our website it states that Wona is back along with Dunn,Spencer and McNamara .Great to get some preactice into this lot. Al be it, Bennell, Sylvia and Moloney will be rested and Cale will be back after 8 weeks or so. Strong list I think.

Why is it safer? You can get injured in any game that you play.

That defence could be an audition for round 1 V's Hawks.

Would be very disapointing if our defence gets killed tonight considering Adelaide are missing Burton and Porplyzia.

Because one does not have to travel in a plane and sit there.Some halmstring injuries are affected from the back thus sitting can be a problem therefore non sitting is SAFER.

I understand the rational behind it, the sitting down.. back related.. have to becareful etc etc, but it is only to Adelaide it's not like he is flying 4 hours to Perth. I hope he didn't sit down at all last night after he played..... :wacko:

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
