Not sure how anyone could have left Dunn out of the top 6.

Dunn was by far our best. Kept Judd to his career worst performance against Melbourne (63 DT points) and one of his worst dozen games overall (when not injured). At the same time Dunn got plenty of the ball, great goal, competed well, ran hard. I say it was the perfect tagging performance.

Dunn deserved more credit.

 

Seriously chuffed to see Col Garland up there this season. He's an important ingredient in any future success.

Judd didn't get near it by himself. Dunn played well on him, but he was not anywhere near our best. I watch every game twice to figure out why our midfield is so bad, so I watch who's on who very closely. Let's be clear; Judd is not the Judd we remember. Dunn dun good, but he was not worthy of the six votes.

Also, it's getting to the point now where Nathan Jones is actually overrated on this site. There's no way he should have three times as many votes as Jack Grimes and twice as many votes as Colin Garland. Those three should be about even, with daylight between them and the rest.

Poor Jack Grimes :(


couldn't believe when I read the papers this morning that neither of them had garland even in the best let alone our best player which he, alongside dunn, clearly was. Just shows they purely look at the stats column rather than the impact players actually have on the game

Nathan Jones could probably miss the rest of the year and still win our Best and Fairest!

He is our spiritual leader regardless of who has the captain tag next to their name.

 

just because Judd didn't play well doesn't mean Dunn deserves credit.. I'll watch it again but I hardly noticed Judd or Dunn for the day

  • 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?

    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?
