Dunn panics in the heat of the moment, he always has. I see him as a player who has the skills and the body, but a fatally flawed thinking process. Shame.

I hope your joking. He was nothing short of horrendous.

Bit harsh...he was ok against Goddard, a fair assignment with which to prove yourself in first game of the year! Not sure he was worth 5 votes....Trengove & Chip clearly best.

3 Dunn

2 Cheney

1 Watts

Apologies: Macdonald, Green, Jones, Beamer, Chip, Garland

I just like the fact that they gave a damn, showed spirit and fought (at least or 3 quarters). Cheney alone showed more hardness than we saw for the whole game last week.

worse was Dunn's goal which he dribbled through from 40m. the choice of kick was absolute brain fade. he's just lucky it went through. unforgiveable. if someone doesn't give him a whack around the ears for that low percentage effort, we're as good as stuffed.

someone can tell him to shave that piece of **** of his upper lip too. it's a disgrace.

my votes:

6 - trengove

5 - mckenzie

4 - bruce

3 - jamar

2 - chip frawley

1 - bennell

Yep, that was stupid as well. Low percentage rubbish kicks that I don't want people like Dunn, who can barely slot them from 9m directly in front taking. If you're Jurrah or Bennell, you can get away with it, if you're Dunn, then no.

Also agreed with Nasher that his brain does not cope under pressure. He makes terrible decisions, which is why he seems a lot better up forward where decision making isn't as crucial or necessary (not hard to decide between "go for goal" or "pass it on").

I know he played OK footy this season, but he has so many limitations, and for someone who doesn't fulfill a really vital role, that is not good. Bartram for example has limitations, but he does a very good job defensively and is required to play on small forwards, so you forgive some of his downfalls. But when you are a bit player with no real position, you need to have a lot of tricks up your sleeve to justify weekly selection.

6. Green (ho hum...)

2. Watts (saw something big in him for the first time!!)

Well done to Cheney on his 2010 Season debut also. Was competitive and will hold his spot one would think.

Goddard had 31 possessions and top votes in The Age FOTY. I'd hate to think what would have happened if Cheney wasn't 'competitive'.

When does Goddard NOT have 31 possessions?? :P

And, for the record, Cheney is a backman. Goddard was up forward for most of the match. How many goals did Goddard kick? Just the one...!

Cheney has that ability to not let many goals be kicked on him. He is a great spoil of the footy. He is a tough nugget and I loved his aggression. He won't find many more opponents tougher than Goddard.

He would have learnt lots from the game.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
