With all due respect Saty - and in deference to your regular attendance at training and knowledge of what goes on at the club - i do not not need to take your word about how much Dunn, or any other pl

He must be standing on his soapbox then.

I'm neither here nor there on "leadership groups". But I really like a single Captain and a single Vice-Captain. Adds gravitas to each role.

What's the go with C.Garland? he's either taking a leaf out of Grimes's book and concentrating on his football, or he might of signaled he'll follow the path of his mate Chip?

Roosey's comments;

“James Frawley left [for Hawthorn at the end of last season] and Col Garland was pretty keen to really concentrate on his footy and Trenners (Jack Trengove) has a long term injury,” he told Dee TV.

Hard to argue against that group. I thought Bernie Vince might have got a look in, especially based on his performance last year. Jamar has been around a long time and is looking fighting fit but possibly in his last year or two. Interesting Garland has dropped out but given his performance last year maybe not so surprising. Hope BD is wrong about it signalling he will walk at the end of the year. I wouldn't jump to that conclusion.

Elimination of co-captains strengthens the leadership roles and our captain & vice positions could not be in better hands.

Am very pleased to see Dunny recognised and heartened that the group saw so much in H to vote for him after just a pre-season.

Roosy's comments:

"Roos said the elevation of Dunn to vice-captaincy was “a terrific effort”.

“Probably externally he’s seen as one of those players who’s played in a number of roles and has been around the club for a long period of time, but externally people wouldn’t realise how much he’s valued within the Melbourne footy club,” he said.

Well done, Dunny.

Overall, I think they've nailed it.

Tremendous effort by Lynden Dunn. A real tribute to a bloke who has worked incredibly hard at his game.

It's weird to think he was drafted just after Matty Bate. One adapted his game while the other could not (or was not given the support and resources to do so).

It would be interesting to know what Dunn thinks the new coaching department has meant for his game.

I'll add my voice to the chorus. Great selections, all. And, stoked for Dunny! (Every Palace needs a good, solid Dunny...!! LOL)

I'm glad we don't have a leadership group of 15. I thought the trend was more leaders than followers a while back.

Pity that the Trengove/Grimes poisoned chalice now precludes youth. I thought there was a spot for Jack Viney. But then again most of us are external, and don't see the inner sanctum or George Stone's back of the room.

Getting excited about the season TGR?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
