It was probably a good career move for him to try out elsewhere if he was going to join an AFL team given his father's connection with Melbourne, an association that might have resulted  in a conflict of interest situation down the track.

I got there early and had to leave early so I missed the nail biting finish.

In the early game J.Lovett spent as much time sitting on the bench as he did on the ground. I am not sure why, unless they are easing him into it.

I  had my eye on him when on the ground, and he has a bit to do, still hasnt done anything of note for mine. I hope that changes before the season is over. He has time on his side but is going to have to work harder during a game.

Oscar player a good game (in my eyes). So did Dunne, though Dunne I expect more from, and a few times threw a team mate under the bus with a stupid handballs.

Sighted Roos at the ground, along with T Mac and Jetta, to add to names in the previous reports.

*Parking at the ground was a nightmare*  I left before the rush, so that was a bonus.

If people are still spelling Trengove as 'Trengrove' around here, then the chances of his last name being spelled right on a consistent basis are slim to none.

I can't imagine this quote from jay Clark would please dunny too much:

'McDonald, 20, also continued his excellent preseason, taking several strong grabs in defence, and could edge out Lynden Dunn for a Round 1 guernsey'

OMac might play i guess but certainly not at Dunn's expense. Jay Clark is reasonably experienced so it is amazing for him to write something so implausible

My comment was based on that not only will Lynden play (he is the glue to our backline in my opinion) but that Oscar is still a good 12 months away from being AFL standard.

Yep you may well be right about OMac. I agree btw on Dunn being our glue down back. Criminally underrated player

Dunn is a hardened 28 y/o, 160 gamer and one of the first picked when fit. OMac is a skinny kid who did little to impress in the NAB Challenge. With some luck, he'll replace Dunn 2-3 years down the track but there's not a hope in hell he gets picked ahead of Dunn next week.

I'm sure Jay Clark will acecpt your apologies anytime soon......

“Generally in round one, you need a really fit team and sometimes you can fall into the trap of playing guys who are a little bit underdone because of their talent level,” Roos said.

“Dunny’s probably a little bit similar [to Brayshaw and Lumumba] – he hadn’t played a lot over the last couple of weeks as well.

“So they’re three that from a fitness point of view, we were able to leave out, based on the form of some of our current players.”

 

So you believe playing OM ahead of Dunn based on fitness disproves the quotes you re-posted?

Amazing logic!

All things being equal there is no comparison between the two at this stage of their careers.  As Sylvia Saint said maybe in 2-3 years but not now.  If at mid season both are fit and OM is selected before Dunny then you can gloat on someone else's prediction.

Cool your jets jnrmac. The comment of mine that you quoted was all that I said on the matter, and it's my opinion on his ability as a journalist, not the OMac/Dunn selection.

I'm planning to head to Casey on Saturday with my boys, hoping to watch Petracca, Trengove, Weideman and whoever else lines up.  Looking forward to seeing some of the young guns go at it.

Is it free entry to practice matches? 

I'll try to provide updates and any interesting highlights.

It cost me $5 when I went to the Casey/Williamstown game.Not sure what it is for kids though.

Might go there myself- it's  2pm start for the seniors isn't it?

I will lose my [censored] if Omac gets a game ahead of Dunn. He is the general of our backline where as Omac is turnover merchant with a skinny frame.

How is the squeaky voice going.....any improvement - and now Omac is out injured- Dunny cannot still get a game..hope you loose nothing else now??!

Dunn wasn't in last week due to being under done and isn't in this week due to Essendon having a small forward line. Articles came out saying as much

If nothing else I 'nailed" the correct weekend to get cruxified for a slip up in DUNN's surname.

Imagine if this was our team in terms of depth and quality for 10-12 VFL rounds.....we would finish top 2 surely. Happy to see Trengove and Petracca kicking it to the Weid.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
