Buy in from Dunn and Jetta

He (Magner) was consistently amongst our better players early in the season: hopefully with better and longer preparation he may be able to sustain it longer in 2013. Bloody hard working and missing out several times over the years surely has only served to increase his hunger.

yes monoccular it is now or never the MFC is his shot.

    What?

    Like Beamer?

    I'd think a 1Yr would be More than adequate, or an offer from another Mob.

    I think Dunn is a different character to Moloney.

    One year should be suffice with some incentives to trigger a second year if reached.

    They should put Dunn on a 6 weekly contract extension. He seems to manage to string together half a dozen serviceable games at the end of each contract with not much in between. This would maximise his effectiveness.

    Saw Dan Nicholson putting in the hard yards at the tan last week. Great to see kids who want an AFL career

    If nicho had a better kick we would all be jizzing. there is still time and another strong preseason will set him up to really make a mark.

    Love any player who is putting in the yards while "on holiday", also not surprised Nicho is running the tan/ running at all, is not just fast but has super endurance.

    Probably runs for fun this bloke.

    I'm no elite athlete, but you'd have to be pretty committed to a regime of sloth to not go running pretty much every day.

    Anyone who comes back from holidays without at least a solid fitness base should hang their heads in shame.

    Both keeps for me.

    2 years for Jetta and 1 year for Dunn.

    Hopefully Dunn can sneak in at least 1 game next year to get to 100 in the hope he has a gun of a son!

    If Dan Nicholson worked on his skills in the break, We'd all be happy..... He has elite speed, elite endurance...... Below average skills....

    If he could pick up his ball skills, to average or above average AFL standed....... Than who knows what he could be.....

    Maybe he needs to take a footy with him next time and kick at some trees

    After 20 games coming from the VAFA his skills are ok and can get better notice he was straight back into the team after injury, Nicho will be ok......

    Same with Nev Jetta, couple of games at Casey then in then back after suspension,

    Neeld has realised that Dunn can be a very good mid size defender, think he will stay

    And Lewis Jetta is Nev's cousin, same as Leroy.....believe Nev has a brother a bit younger but also supposedly a talented young player

    Lewis' brother Graham plays back pocket / half back form Swan Districts. Handy player too, probably not AFL standard though

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
