To be honest, Dunn has been pretty good since he lost his mo. His last season and a half has been pretty solid.

Your display picture is therefore, rather ironic!

Should take Chip out too until he knows what direction he's meant to be leading in...

Alienating him hardly sounds like a great way of persuading him. I guess we had also better take Dunn back out of the group, since he is also a UFA.

grovelling is so much more professional

Dunn hasn't said he's waiting to see the direction of the club though. Not sure how you can lead when you don't know which direction you're heading...

Epic logic jump. I didn't propose grovelling, I'm just suggesting not shoving it in his face.

Has anyone asked Dunn?

Dunn gives hope that other plodders may develop in the right environment. I feel we are seeing some progress with the likes of

pederson and Bail - while they will not set the world on fire maybe could become much more handy depth players

So good to see your happy new support for Dunn when you used to chortle.

whilst he's obviously enjoying his new found fun role..., what leadership is he offering when hes really covering all bets ? just asking?

well more than that really. a player like Chip...or even Buddy...whilst fantastic as they are arent necessarily automatically leadership material.

Lets not confuse alpha males with role model or leadership qualities

Because Chip and Buddy are so alike. One is a superstar of the comp, on more coin than Bill Gates, man about town womaniser, fashion label businessman, multi vehicle accident prone...and the other is Buddy Franklin. Edited by Moonshadow

There's a difference between kicking someone out of the leadership group because he's a bad leader and kicking him out because he might leave next year. I trust that James Frawley was put into the leadership group for a reason. Taking him out now would be silly.

I don't know what leadership he's offering off-field, but I reckon we all know what he's offering on-field at the moment. "Match ability" or not, it's invaluable to the team.

I'm not saying he's a leader BECAUSE he's waiting and seeing; I'm saying he's a leader DESPITE waiting and seeing. Do you really want to drop one of our best players this year based on what he might do next year? How does that even make sense?

So, Dunny lost his Mo, and found his Mojo...?! Well dunn to him!

So good to see your happy new support for Dunn when you used to chortle.

Sometimes I read, then reread then I try again. And sometimes I just give up.

What are you trying to say?

Perhaps, So good to see you're happy. New support for Dunn? Particularly when you used to chortle.

But I am only guessing.

Edit: Or, So good to see your happy. New support for Dunn. When you used to chortle?

Happy = smile or nappy? New support for Dunn = Athletic support? Then a question about past chortling.

So it could be , So good to see your nappy. New athletic support for Dunn. When did you last chortle?

Dawes should've been in the leadership group to start off with.

I agree, probably just missed out when injured pre-season and we already had Mitch as a leader in the forward line.

You don't 'sit out' players who are holding out on re-signing their contracts in this modern era of FA.

You have to just deal with the fact that players are going to sign later and later.

kinda agree with this.. a put up or shut up by stealth

Kinda second it. I understand a player weighing up all his options but after the Scully debacle - anyone who says they are waiting I consider are G.O.R.N ( unless proven otherwise.

With Frawley who is waiting to see how we are tracking and where we are headed..don't leaders actually lead us to where they want us to go ?

I agree, however the rank and file must choose to follow. Some I fear are so lost they don't know where to go and who to follow.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
