From the MFC web site review of players; about Dunn:

.......................................

Lynden was one of the most improved players for 2012. He should look forward to the pre-season, knowing that he’s locked down a spot within the team. - Jade Rawlings (backline coach)

Lynden looks to be a stayer.

Interestingly, Dunn is the same height as Rivers and a few kgs heavier. Hmm....

He needs to fix two things: 1) Stop diving. 2) Stop trying to always push his opponent under the ball, grow a set and actually try to beat his opponent in the air.

How so many believe Dumm is tough beggars belief. Have seen him squib many times. Have also seen him niggle and throw elbows behind, not to mention his Bollywood acting. Disgraceful there. I don't mi

Tough players put their head over the ball and body on the line, they don't niggle their opponents.

I think moving him back is a good move. He has some what of a tank, he is an antagonising bastard - forwards worst nightmare.

Further, he has a good clearance kick, provided its to the right spot - in excess of fifty metres out of the back line.

hopefully it proves to be a good move.

Dunny has become a solid role player, and is amongst the best few kicks at the Club. Given his versatility, and our dearth of decent kicks, I would have been very surprised if he had been shown the door.

U need to try and keep as many of our players with exprence, that can kick to a tarket, i think his time as a tagger on some of the biggest divers snipper, harvey has taught him some bad habbits, lets see how the roos go without thier best player, when was the last time he played a bad game and they won a game, its hard to find one

I'm glad they've kept Lynden, his last few games down back were quite servicable.

If I remember correctly he now has a baby son: often with responsibility comes maturity!!!

And a loss of facial hair doesn't hurt!

Titan ?

Not happy Jan. As I'm sure you can imagine.

What scares me the most about re-contracting him is whether we'll get anything out of him until Round 18, 2014. Last time we saw improvement and re-signed him, he disappeared. With Rivers going, it seems like he will get a game as a KPD, but I have no confidence at all in him holding the spot down and continuing the slight improvement he showed this year.

I wait to be proven wrong. At this stage, I highly doubt I will be.

Finished last in his heat to continue our good form this year.

Nearly everyone who runs just wants a grand final ticket, don't think anyone (aside from Jonesbag that is) takes it seriously...

Ben Hudson ran purely because he promised a mate he'd take him to the game

I'd love to see Dunn play on, love him. His last few games this year were fantastic, he showed genuine hunger which is all I ask of players.

By this reckoning though Mono it seems 'Gys' will be with us next year also something which I'd be bloody happy with also!

From the 2012 player review by the coaches:

Pre-season is going to be really important for Gys, to make sure that he can try and get through uninterrupted from injury - if he does that, he’ll keep progressing to being the AFL player that he’s capable of being. - Aaron Greaves (midfield development coach)

Not so. Dunn is so far the only one mentioned "that he’s locked down a spot within the team".

Gysberts comments, as for many others, are about getting a good preseason in etc. Generic.

Not that I want to see Gysberts go.

We'll see what happens.....if Stef M stays, you and I will have to gnash our teeth and support the best we can.

I find it staggering,not to say insulting, that every listed player doesnt have the option of taking up one free ticket and a guest ticket to the G/F,as long as they use it themselves.

The builders labourers built this city, and the players are the only indispensible blokes in the game

I agree Toast

In a team without almost no senior players Dunn is well worth his spot.

Certainly the next level for his is to play with physicality when it counts. None of this niggling stuff but actually cracking in a winning the hard ball. Skill and atheltic wise he has all it takes to be a reasonable half back flanker.

I get worried because the last time Dunn played as well as he did in the backend of this year was when he was last out of contract. 1 year deal only is a must.

Glad Dunn is a stayer. A lot of people write him off year after year, but he's one of the only blokes that plays with a bit of guts. Sure he's not the classiest or most skilful player, but he provides a contest and can roost it when needed. Uses his body pretty well too. Only knock on him is that he can play for the free, hopefully we won't see to much of it next year. Genuine player and has a role in this side.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
