Buy in from Dunn and Jetta

[Louie 39]

Was really happy out on my lunchtime run to see Dunn and Jetta putting in the hard yards at the tan. Good to see they are doing their bit in the off season (regardless of how you view them as MFC players).

[Sir Why You Little 35,383]

Good. Attitude is a large part of success. If players are buying in as Sam Blease said then they deserve a serious crack.

I'm a fan of Jetta's. Not really sure why yet. just think he's shown glimpses of being able to play a role for the team. Let's hope for 2 years of injury free football so he can prove me right or wrong

Agree on Jetta. He is a hard little unit. Reminds me of a smaller Wrecka Whelan (don't know if he actually is smaller but he seems it).

Been unlucky with injury and no doubt low on confidence as a result. If he could get his body right and get super fit he'd be more than handy in my opinoun. Runs in straight lines & tackles hard. Disposal looks shaky but that might improve/be mitigated with a clear role in the team.

BTW - he should be tried in the back pocket minding the small forwards.

This is what we ask for, good on the boys. I think if we were going to keep one of Petterd, Bate and Dunn, Dunn showed he wanted it the most or that he can be useful in the back end of the year. Thanks for the update.

Id be running to if i was about to get sacked.

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

Both are serviceable. Dunn is more valuable then most think.

[autocol 448]

Dunn is one of my favourites. He's got some mongrel in him, which we need more of.

defintely try Jetta in the back pocket. has bit of mongrel and good tackler.

Dunn has had to too many chances and failed IMO.

[bananas 428]

Jetta's front-on tackle on Sandilands a couple of years ago remains etched in my memory.

Also, I noted a couple of times this year he got his name into the mfc.com match write-ups for his hardness at the ball. I reckon he'd be the kind of bloke Neeld would love.

[syl 40]

Dunn is quite important to our list. A workhorse, if he has the right attitude (which he appears to), he could really excel under Neeld.

[Deestroy All 14,262]

We need Dunn because he goes hard it.

On a serious note, it's good to see 2 of our players taking their careers seriously, regardless of their standing in the team.

[Roost It 1,434]

People who think Dunn goes hard at it need to look closer. Jetta on the other hand does go hard at it

[Grand New Flag 3,227]

I actually rate Dunn and would be shocked and angry if he did not get a new contract.

Why would you be shocked? I thought you knew for a fact that 15 players don't like Neeld so why would it come at a surprise if Dunn does not resign?

Well, be prepared to be shocked and angry.

Moreso...

He would be on my 'if FA is a bust and the better teams don't delist something decent will sign him up' list.

Got to think of a shorter title...

'On the fence' list

[Jerry Lundergard 412]

IMO Dunn is no worse than McPhee, who is playing a role down back for the white hot Dockers at the moment.

[demon-4-life 467]

I'm not agreeing nor disagreeing with the topic.

But just cause 2 professional athletes are running around the tan doesn't really mean they've "bought" in to anything.

Thats all.

[jurrahcane 70]

Jetta goes at it , does n't get it, then has to tackle, that's why he is a good tackler. I am still in doubt over his position (not a small fwd pocket or mid, probably last roll of the dice at back pocket !!)

Dunn goes at it, more often than not, he gets it, and then kicks it 50+ metres. Has found a role in the back 6. One of our better players in the 2nd half of the year.

[Grand New Flag 3,227]

I don't know as a fact, I am told by a player manger that 15 want out.

Dunn is one that is on the record as being "desperate" for a new contract. Neeld credited his performance in the last half of the season in the round 22 media conference and as such I would be shocked if he was to go. There are at least 10 players I would delist infront of him, not including those who ask for a trade or take feee agency. As such I feel he is safe.

What ever you say about Dunn, whether you like him or hate him, no one can deny that he gives 100% at every contest and is a wonderful kick on both feet.

There's plenty of scope for a denial on that one actually.

[titan_uranus 23,294]

Agree on both counts.

Dunn is as soft as anyone else on our list (except Morton, maybe). His 'aggression' is fake, all he does is strut around and push people, but when push comes to shove he is pathetic. When it matters, too (i.e. going for the ball) he shirks contests, ducks his head, and then tries to make up for it by remonstrating and pushing.

The sooner we delist this list-clogging, space-wasting, finger-pointing has-been, the better.

I actually rate Dunn and would be shocked and angry if he did not get a new contract.

You'd be shocked and angry? That we delisted someone who's been on our list for about 7 years and has achieved nothing to date? Who hasn't improved at all in the last 4 years? Who pulls out semi-impressive (I use this phrase loosely) performances only when it's getting near the end of his current contract?

You could be disappointed, but you would have no ground to be shocked, and you'd be silly to be angry.

Not as descriptive...

What 10 players? I am quite keen to hear as I think as soon as any other players are delisted you will be calling for Neeld's head again and placing the blame on him for their performance.
