    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

Enjoyed a career-best season in 2010. Played mainly as a defensive forward, pinch-hitting in the ruck and showed his worth as a excellent set-shot for goal. Definitely part of Melbourne’s plans for the future -Luke Holmesby melbournefc

now a senior player...took his game to another level this year and rewarded with a two year deal.

like chip he can play on talls and smalls but can also go forward...

he joins a group of players that need a big year for melb to climb up the lader again: dunn, sylvia, morton,

I know he finally got to spend more time forward this year which resulted in a career best season, but I still worry if there is a spot for him up forward when everyone is fit. Watts and Jurrah are the talls, Green the 3rd tall, Petterd takes his defensive forward role and then we need a couple of smalls - Wona and Bennell. Without one of the smalls I'm concerned we lack the forward pressure that seems to be a vital part of footy these days.

Personally I think he might be forced to go back to tagging again. With the retirement of the skipper he becomes the player on our list with the best physical attributes to tag. He's strong, a good tackler and has the speed. His problem with tagging in the past was probably not getting enough of his own ball but I think his time forward will have improved that, he's also a nice kick around the ground and we saw he can kick a goal.

He did well in the second half of 2011.

He did extremely well by his appalling standards before that.

Always wary of 'contract' years; we all try a little harder than usual when our livelihood is on the line.

At risk of showing a bit of MFCSS here, but I will say that there is a spot for him in our forward line if he wants it.

Appalling is pretty harsh. He looked like a likely sort on the HFF when he first started but obviously the FD saw that he needed some fine tuning in the defensive side of his game. A painful apprenticeship for him, sure, but it looks like he has come out the other end as a good, honest footballer. He's never going to rip a game apart but he is one of those blokes that you don't give a crap backman to and if you give a good one then it lets a couple of others have a free reign.

He will have to keep up his efforts to keep his spot as others come through but I think that penny has dropped and we will have a nice problem going forward.

If he can keep up his form from the latter half of the season, the spot in the forward line will remain his.

Fantastic to see him take the next step, but it wasn't entirely unexpected.

We should see a similar year from Morton next year.

Shown true versatility however more potent as a forward-need to play him continuously as a forward to give him opportunity for consistancy.Could become a strong CHF over time.

Really loved Dunny's step-up in 2010. IMO he was an important factor in our improvement. With our emerging talent, he will need to at least maintain the form he displayed in the latter half of the year to make a regular senior spot of his own in 2011.

Dunn in 2010 was an indication of what our club has been about for the past 2 years education. He was taught a defensive side of his game and then slotted back into the forward line as our defensive forward, but the best thing is, he is a natural forward that can kick goals so if the player he is on shows him no respect he can kick multiple goals. He was dropped because his goal kicking was in accurate I tink at one stage he had kicked 4 goals 11 behinds, he fixed this and was very good. If he can continue to improve he will be an important player in our forward set up.

Dunn is not a CHF. He played a defensive role on damaging HBFs and tried to make them accountable. That isn't the stuff CHFs are made of.

Where is Watts going to play?

A really good defensive forward, who has to make the oppositions best rebounder accountable is invaluable

Early age draft pick that the MFC got permission from the AFL due to his age. Finally played FWD which i where he made his name.

2011 FWD Line:

Dunn, Jurrah, Green

Pettard, Watts, Wona / Bennell

With Bate & Co for depth we are looking good...

Are you sure that it was Dunn and not Bate that got permission from the AFL to go into that particular draft?.

always bagged the shizen out of him

at times this year I couldn't believe he was the same player, especially that one match where he had about 5 kicks for the day but three of them were beautiful bombs for goals outside 50

Still has a long way to go in my opinion. Yes he played some good games but generally against the weaker sides. Still needs to improve his chasing and tackling.

Would love to see him become a permanent forward because he looks a million times more dangerous down there. Certainly not a midfielder

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
