I'll be very disappointed if Dunn is a regular this year. I believe he can't get any better than what we've already seen, so if he's getting a game we either have too many injuries or the new talent (newbies, recycled players and those who have been around for just a year or two, such as Tynan) aren't as good as we need them to be.

And I suspect Jamar will be overtaken by Spencer by the end of the year. No disgrace there - the Russian is just nearing his use by date.

    Or it could mean Dunn has improved.

    What a weird thing to say.

    I understand your point but watching him at training I think he has improved, he looks in good shape and looks like he should be there. Those positions down back are going to be very, very competitive.

    Jamar is looking good on the track and marking well, injury interrupted his last season and I would expect him to hold down the number one spot with Spencer and Gawn keeping him honest.

    I think our midfield is our biggest problem but there has been a bit of grunt and a bit of class added and that will take time.

    Our foward line looks solid with 2 monsters and now a few experienced crumbers.

    Our backline is solid also with 2 key position players and a few versatile defenders.

    The thing I think that could help us is a run and carry defender with a long kick accurate kick.

    Strauss.

    I think he can cement his spot of a half back flank with this kind of attacking play, if he cant what else can he do?

    Big improver this year?

    Seen a bit at training, so my pick is Luke Tapscott. Hope to see him as a big impact player.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
