Dunn has been handy, but hardly a world beater. He doesn't kick enough goals as a forward and regularly gives away an undisciplined free kick at the most infuriating time. He's in his 5th year and is still to cement a position. If you can't drop Dunn to promote/develop a player of Watts class who can you drop.

Dunn is the logical choice to make way.

Dunn out

Watts in

I'm happy with that Dunn has tried his best, although unlucky if someone needs too make way for big Jack he is the obvious choice IMO, we need two ruckman against the eagles so PJ should play, but he should also be on notice play and play well or else!

Absolutely.

I think he's been a better player for the first few games, the last couple of weeks, not so much. Bad habits die hard.

15 pages this thread is now up to!! 3 1/2 hours it will soon finish and we will all know...hopefully be excited by Watts inclusion!!

So the consensus seems to be that Dunn out for Watts as PJ stays due to the twin ruck threat of the toasters....anyone think that Spencer may be a chance to come in for PJ if this is the case?

Very raw still big Jake but was dominant last week at Casey, not sure that PJ has done anything at all to warrant a continued spot especially as others step it up and would deserve their chance!

I just hope he doesnt cop too much of a pasting from the media post game. Afterall its going to be hard for him to have a huge impact, its almost like he is debuting again in my eyes.

I really like the way you've set a negative tone before he has even been named for a game.

Well done.

Dunns leading the marks at Melbourne this year, very unlucky if he has to make way, poor kicking at goal last week would have killed him.

But thats what happens when a club has depth in its list, you dont perform theres a bloke at Casey ready to pounce, and this week that bloke happens to be JW.

I think because it IS Jack, supporters are more hesitant to drop a player.

It stems from paranoia that he will have a poor game and we would have been better off with Dunn.

We are entering/have entered the stage where players have to perform better than "good enough" to keep their spot.

This is a great thing.

No doubt the opposition players will target him (If he plays). It will be interesting to see how he handles it, and how the rest of the team stands up for him. Would be nice if Neita was out there still, just to show Jack how it's done. Miss the big fella.

Jake's attack at the ball and his rucking was great on the weekend. But every time he goes to kick the ball my heart goes to my mouth.

I'm not a big fan of PJ, but I think because he was called into the side last week he deserves this week to prove himself in better conditions. Against what many consider to be the best ruck combo in the league, he needs to step up and prove himself, or start looking for another job. My worry is if the big Russian goes down injured and Jack is playing, he will have to do some of the ruck work, even if only in the forward line, and I don't think it is good for his development at this time. Dunn has been serviceable, but really has done nothing to ensure his position is safe.

So for me

Out: Dunn

In: Watts (only if he is ready)

Alternatively, and I don't think I will get much support for this, (maybe even less than my Bennell pulled out of another contest thread)

Out: PJ, Dunn

In: Watts, Miller

Miller will have the best defender and be able to help out in the ruck. I think he does more around the ground and up forward than PJ or Dunn, and he can help protect Watts if they try and shake him up.

This year is about development. I don't think PJ, Dunn or Miller will be at the club in a couple of years, so maybe if the choice is who will be the best player to have in the team to help develop Watts, Miller could be considered.

PLEASEEEE!!!!

Release the teams now so we can end all this tripe!!! I can't believe this thread is now up to 15 pages. Unf*'nbelievable.

Started with with he was good or no good. Whether Nic Nat was better or not. Whether there was more to him not getting a game. Then his form at Casey was said to be sh'it. Then it got good. Now everyone is specualting whether he deserves a game or not. The full 360 is complete. I hope he doesn't play. This board will go into melt down if he plays!

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
