“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.”

 

He's not ready to play, in the eyes of the coaches. Neither is Brayshaw. Neither is H.

You don't know better than they do. Neither does that other idiot claiming he wont buy a membership if Dunn doesn't play.

BUT he's been named emergency! You aint gonna name him as emergency if he aint right therefore he must be right!

My advice Lynden.... You are a much better player than Frawley Much Much Better so mate Check free agency !

If I were him I would be livid!

I'm sure many clubs out there ( Freo) would love your services!

Oscar Mc Donald FMD

This will come back to haunt us!

    Matt jones is a liability and only makes this side worse... How he still gets a game is beyond me??? Is he Paul's love child?

    I've been a massive critic of his, but he was good in NAB challenge and he can play that negating half forward on those dangerous half backs.

    Apparently Paul Roos and Simon Goodwin know a bit better than a few members of Demonland, crazy.

    I find the reactions here intriguing.  We've gone in with basically the same side that won 3 NAB games and played great footy.  Shouldn't they be rewarded?

    With the new interchange rules the last thing we need is to play guys who are underdone and we run out of legs in the last quarter.  I think they've played it very smart and selected the right side for this game.

    Is it a full moon? People forget to take their meds? 

    Far out, settle down some of you. 

    Couple of players left out due to match fitness. Footy these days you need 100% fit players

    This is the biggest thing, why change a winning team by bringing in blokes who may not be 100% fit.

    I'm loving that centre line.  

    The three Vs, rhymes with Dees. 

    Hard as nails.

    A new year, judge him by what he does not what he did in past years. His speed will be welcome, just his disposal and defence need to be kept tight.

    In what universe and on what planet is does Oscar Mc Donald get a game in front of Lynden Dunn???

    Answer?? NONE!

    I'll Say it!

    THIS IS THE WORST SELECTION DECISION OF ALL TIME FMD!!!!

    I'm livid, this is potentially a game changing decision

    If Dunn is right then he plays, Absolutely no question!

    Huge Huge gamble and massive fail in my book!

    Oscar Mc Donald FMD!

     

    We're into our 3rd year under Roos. He isn't silly and and especially now we're competitive and on the up. Good game to debut but  even though he looked so-so during NAB, so did rest of the team at times yet still won.

    We're no basket case and hes obviously proven his spot in the team internally.

    3rd year, Trust Roos!!

    Stunned to see Oscar @ CHB & Dunn an emergency !   Fortunately we have Peder & Frost, so one can take CHB when Oscar flakes out

    Totally agree Oscar was a liability in all 3 nab games. He can't stick tackles

    The guy is 28z he isn't going to suddenly change into an asset. Let's hope this is the last game he plays for the club

    Actually the most important selection isnt even in this game. It's Trengove playing tomorrow. All dees fans have our fingers crossed for you Jack. Good luck. We just want to see you back in the red and blue.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
