I think that's pretty good! I think you've nailed the mids (particularly with the interchange).

The only one change I would have straight off the bat would be Parker or Bruest out for Dangerfield on the half forward line.

Also the defenders/ half back line could be played around with a little bit, and Gunston at CHF is questionable.

But overall a very nice job. :)

For Dunn to make it, it would mean he has to continue to improve and/or maintain his current form, while at the same time, the guys already listed will have to drop off.

I don't think Dunn will make it based on the latter part of that, but I hope he pushes because of the former part.

I would not have Brodie Smith, as he has had an average month.

Other than that, that's a great team

Great, I just voted and I'm he only one not to have Chunk in my mid-year AA team.

I had to vote "No" as I don't think he is in the 6 (inc interchange) in the league in the position he plays. He would absolutely be an emergency.

This will most likely be a more controversial post than those that have Dunn in their AA team to this point.

Sorry!

Leave Demonland, and go to Big Footy, you'll be remembered as a horrible, horrible man, worse than Machsy.

Sorry!

Can i ask why?

He has categorically been better than Selwood this year? He has been as good as Rockliff and Prestia..

The only reason people wouldnt have him in their team is off his previous years not being at AA level.

I am the first person to say that when you're not at that level you dont deserve to be in AA, but he is at that level and deserves to be in the team.

There are 396 approx. players in contention ( 18 x 22 best from each team )

You then have to pick 22 it stands to reason that there are going to be a number that you could argue should be in the side instead of those nominated.

In the case of the MFC the only real contender is N Jones, he makes in one side.

I am not unhappy.

lets see how many we have in June 2015!

As poor as we have been since 2007 in 2010 we had 2 in the final side and Greeny made the 40man Squad.

Still believe Jones is currently a definite for the final 22 if his form holds up and Dunn would be unlucky at this stage to miss out and is very much a contender. Tyson would be in consideration for 40man Squad IMO

Excellent point Pennant - I too believe Dunn should right in contention as a defender!

more rubbish dependent more on where the team is on the ladder and the number of supporters it has than the actual value of the player

don't see Niknat anywhere, you would think he should be rewarded again for getting 4 kicks a game

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
