What an amazing turn around in the past two years. I think most of us had him out of the club two years ago and now he is one of our most reliable better players. The move back and Jade Rawlings have saved this guy and thank goodness they did.

This is awesome news, great to not only hear the words coming from the playing group about positive future, 'I bleed red and blue' and all the other typical cliches, but fantastic to actually see the actions put into practice. Heres hoping that this is the first of many re signings to come throughout the year.

Good work Dunny. Frankly would've been very surprised if he'd gone anywhere else, but it's good to see him signing now to get it out of the way.

Has been a great turnaround to watch.

Fantastic news. Please DL he has to go on the banner now!

On a related note one of the equalization measures announced by the AFL is that clubs who under spend on their draft cap over a period of time (as we have) - to a maximum of 2 years - can bank this and use this to spend over the cap over a corresponding number of years. What is great for the dees is that it is retrospective so under-spend in 2013 and 2014 can be spent as overspend (so to speak) in 2015 and 16. At a time where we are likely to be much more attractive to free agents than the last few years that puts us in a great position to both ensure we can pay our current senior players well and be competitive in the market (eg with Frawley) but more importantly have the coin to attract some qulaity talent (without upsetting the apple cart and annoying current players who might otherwise not like some blown in getting a big salary).

This one was never in doubt in my mind, but should keep a few of the panic merchants around here quiet for a bit.

Without meaning to give a backhanded compliment, this is the first time that Dunn re-signing has given me that *yessssssss* feeling. He definitely took the scenic route, but has developed in to a strong, reliable and important player. His promotion to the leadership group shows where the club thinks he is at, and I couldn't be more pleased. Well done.

To see where has come from to his last few seasons is truly amazing. Good re-signing.

Good to see a player in his prime just sign the deal that will no doubt keep him handsomely rewarded and not hold the club to ransom to lever the best possible deal

Great work Dunny.

Yes he is a Bannerman! All things being equal he should be currently in Sheahans top 50.

This is one of those times when Dunn has the persistence of others, aswell as himself, to thank for his success.

2005 was his first year and 2013 was the first time he turned into a solid pro who cemented himself in the best 22.

I am glad we don't have to worry about a very capable third tall down back with excellent skills for three years.

Well done!

Just something I heard around the traps.

I have heard information from 3 people that support this, 3 people have said their club enquired but were under the impression that Chip would re-sign

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
