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!

    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...

    Has anyone asked Dunn?

    Don't think anyone was too worried start of the season. They might be asking him now though!

    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.

    not the most understandable post to date

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

    epic fail on understanding position.

    you just let it all slide huh

    You need to set things right. You want things rubbery to suit. No sir

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
