Dunn outstanding season? Bollocks!

Dunn has been excellent all year.

Stretch's pass to Hogan who then kicks a goal. I'd say that that hurt the opposition.

Dunn has been great this year and jkh worked his way into it after the footsteps? Clanger , important for the young fella .

Redleg and I bumped into Joeboy at Tommy Ruff's fish place in Elsternwick during the week.

Can we have a three word assessment of the tucker that night?

Er. What was that about Dunnys outstanding bollocks.

Absolutely boring game.

We won but I am not convinced we are advancing in our gameplay nor standards. Turnovers were shocking AGAIN!!!!

time to end your life we won.

Howe- Probably our best

Probably cop some flack for this but Howe was close to our best today. He was everywhere and laid some important tackles.

By no means does it make up for his poor season so far, but credit where credit is due, Howe was very good today.

Brian Taylor - clearly no idea

"Jeremy Howe has had a fantastic season"

"No velvet trumpeter today. Usually for Melbourne home games you see him at the start of the match"

It's ignoramuses like him overrating Howe that will help us get overs during trade week.

The new trumpeter was there yesterday. He was just starting up when the siren sounded - short quarter - so he held back and started again in sync with the PA.

Surely club recruiters are a little bit more with it than some of the buffoons in the media.

One would hope but then we have had some shockers not so long ago.

Dunn outstanding season? Bollocks!

To be fair to Joeboy, Dunn has spent most of his career out standing in the field somewhere, usually pointing. But I'm with you. I think Dunn was outstanding last year whereas this year I think he's been a bit hot and cold.

VandenBerg : had kicking yips.

Harmes - showed a bit.

What I liked about him was his clean hands and his ability to kick with both feet. 15 disposals and 3 tackles isn't bad for his second game.

His kick to advantage to Vandenberg in the first quarter was also good.

I thought he was great. Stood up well in the contest for a second gamer. Liked his patience and ball use.

Its the small things you look for in these early games for the younger guys. Saw similar things from Brayshaw in the first few games from tackling to battling hard in a contest and eventually breaking out with good ball use and decision making. Harmes is on the right track.

I also think Stretch does a lot of the small things really well. Runs well and positions himself well. The defensive side of his game is great. Layed some terrific tackles. Look forward to seeing him develop.
