You guys are totally missing my point... I'm wrapped with the players we've picked up so far and think their particular experience will be really valuable to us, but with what we've lost and gained I think the term "influx" is a bit ridiculous.

But you're missing our point - what is the value in 'experience' if that 'experience' is just of being around during lots of losses and not doing sh*t about it?

Whilst on a numbers game we've lost more games played than we've brought in, does that really matter? Not really.

    You're still missing the point mate...

    I'll put it as simply as I can: Two players is NOT an influx.

    This is what I was talking about:

    I love who we've got so far, but won't be calling it an "influx" unless we at least match the number of games experience we've lost.

    You were talking about comparing games out v games in. I (and others) said that matching the number of games up isn't really meaningful when most of the games which are going out were games of senior players who offered no leadership. The point being that even though we're bringing in players who have played fewer games, those games were at successful clubs and involved premierships and proper leadership. So it doesn't matter too much that we're losing more games.

    There are a lot of Dunn haters, but he was probably in our top 5 players in the second half of the season, and was our second best disposer of the pill by foot coming out of our back line(to Strauss who played sub) in the second half of the season, warrants a new contract and I am not upset with that. He is a hard trainer and is competitive even if he is a bit stupid about how he goes about it.

    As someone who love semantics - just let it go.

    Whether it is an 'influx' or it is 'in flux' - nobody cares anymore.

    Stuie, you look it up.

    in·flux

       [in-fluhks] Show IPA

    noun

    1.

    act of flowing in.

    2.

    an inflow ( opposed to outflux): an influx of tourists.

    3.

    the place at which one stream flows into another or into the sea.

    4.

    the mouth of a stream.

    So, if 'competence' comes in and 'incomptence' moves out then T_U can argue that it is an influx, or inflow, of competence

    So, now you are clearly wrong, maybe you go and bleat about something else.

    Saw him shut down Deledio AND kick 5 goals himself against Richmond a couple of years back. I know its sounds a bit like Cale beating Goodes in one game but he is a keeper for mine. Will never be the best player but could/should be a valuable member of the team. Virtually same size as Pederson........

    1) You once saw him play well? Well I once saw Brad Miller beat Barry Hall.

    2) 'Could' be a valuable member? Wow. So could every single player on our list.

    3) 'Should'? Indeed. He should be. He's had 8 years to be. He still isn't.

    4) Same size as Pederson? Maybe. Even if so, he lacks what Pederson has: guts and talent. And he's had 8 years.

    Being in our top 5 players in the second half of 2012 is not only meaningless (and potentially wrong) given the opponents, it obscures the fact that the previous 18 months of his contract were just terrible.

    If he wasn't in the top 5 players he would have been top 10 and definitely most improved. But I agree not much shown before that, but I have seen enough to be keen for us to get him on another 1-2 year deal, even if it's just like a Matthew Bate contract in which Neeld knows he has to delist a certain number of people and Dunn is one of them.

    Just seeing him out of the back 50 I think he used the ball well and played that role grimes was butchering a year ago, almost that quarterback, if he does do anything it is his ability to torp it well from kick outs which usually goes right over the opposition set ups!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
