Dunn was below AFL standard Saturday night and should be dropped.

you are just trying to try and get a response

Dunn was definitely at an afl level, and played almost his best game for the year.

Jack said:

- Neeld had the team playing with a very defensive mindset, which has had us chasing the opposition around all year and not getting enough of the ball in our own hands. Whereas Craig has encouraged a more attacking style of play, i.e. get the ball and keep it off them.

I have been saying that all year - our huge disposal differentials were hurting us offensively and defensively - offensive in that we couldn't retain possession and defensively in the sense that the less you have of the ball, the more the opposition has it.

Disposal stats are not the be all and end all but the differentials we were producing were extraordinarily large and were not sustainable.

Will be interesting to see how we go in trying to retain possession more against two top sides in the next two weeks.

Jack didn't say that, it was paraphrased, I put exactly what he said

In reality Jack has said nothing we didnt already know. Neeld had gone too far on the negativity and stymied what footy flair any player has/had. Resulting in poor decisions or sometimes just late one.

Kennedy had it in one...DO...dont think, the minute you have to stop and think youre gone. Everything on a footy field ought to be second nature.

Why was he below standard?....for the last quarter?....what was his role on Saturday?

He did play his best game but when one on one with Cordy and the other big fellas he was killed. Not really through his own fault though as he was giving away about 3 or 4 inches.

Out of interest I wonder if the stint under Neeld with so much focus on defense, structures and the press will actually be hugely important going forward?

We knew we had a list that could attack, and struggled with defence. We spend 18 months doing nothing but defence and then the new coach (Craig) says go and attack, but the defensive discipline should remain.

We struggled on Saturday under an avalanche but we held on in the end and fitness was obviously an issue. I can't help but think the squad might be much better prepared and balanced as a result of the two extremes in choosing style and have plan. It may not be the ideal way to learn these things but the end result could be the same regardless.

I still think we are a class midfielder lacking though.

Let's see how they go against the Swans.

The mids and backs will be tested. I am confident the backs can run the transition fast enough when given the freedom to.

Keep it under 8 goals and it will be a massive win and improvement for the team. The Swans are a relentlessly disciplined side. They must challenge the Swans' defence constantly for four quarters.

If you keep going to the well you'll find water, etc etc.

Thought that might be what you need to do, feel the urge to criticise did we, pointing out that the quote was paraphrased that is all, go with the 'factual' statement, bit hard on here sometimes I know, but prefer, if you are one of the few regular readers of my posts, you will know that

Dunn played his role, seems to me some people want change for change sake, and Dunn is an easy target, think perhaps if Grimes comes back in, it will be at the expense of Byrnes

We all see the game differently, but given the amount of posters calling for Dunn to be dropped in the "Changes vds Sydney" thread, it looks like you both are in the minority.

I am normally a fan of Dunn, but Saturday was a poor performance.

Yeah we got it the first time, you sat that there and scribbled it down word for word to let us all know what was exactly said, bravo.

The OP just typed from memory, and conveyed the exact point that Trengove was making, without all the diplomatic bs.

You don't need to keep telling everyone your quote was verbatim, we get it, we get it.

Then perhaps captain factual should credit his source by providing a link.

Come on mate, it's clear that people don't want change for change sake but rather because we are terrible. Dunn is a target because he is not a very good football player, as are many in the side.

It is factual, I don't need to provide a link, as you can't link the chinese whispers that appear on here, if you must nitpick, try picking on some of the whispers instead

Anyway, as all posters have seen, if you are going to quote, quote verbatim

No sorry, been on this board too long to accept that, one person says "Dunn is crap", and quite a few jump onboard, don't want to be seen to be different or not following the trend, one of the more sad things that is happening in modern society, one of the reasons everybody thinks Reality Television is real

The wind has changed, read some of the posts towards the end of last season....along the lines of "well bugger me, if Dunn hasn't surprised me, and resurrected his career", unfortunately along with Nicho has now got the target back, and to think everybody thought Fitzpatrick was a dud as well, surprised no calls for him to be dropped, what's wrong proved people wrong AGAIN

FWIW I thought he played ok - a bit stiff on one occasion when the ball should have got oob but didn't and we paid the price. Have a look on you he has pklayed on in the past fortnight - given away inches on both occasions - went to Kosi when Pederson coudln;t lay a feather duster on him and quietened him down, and did well IMHO last week as well. He is certainly part of our best team, or would you go back to Pederson. Spare me

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
