Where's the evidence for this? It may well be true, but I haven't seen it. 

I seem to remember some comment from players on a video to the effect that his personal life had taken a turn for the worse in some way, but that he was loved and repse ted among his team mates. I may be wrong, but I have ended up with this strong belief in some way.

It's not just the distance that Dunn kicks that's impressive, but the power and accuracy. It's the best way to dismantle a forward press by the opposition. I think the Dunn haters are being disingenuous with their assessment of Dunn's kicking on Sunday. 

We had Bernie Vince in the backline for a large part of the season, and I always thought that he was one of the best kicks at the club. For the most part, his kicking was deplorable out of defence.

I have to agree, so many times melbourne has had trouble getting it out of defense because of the oppositions press, Dunny kicks it way out onto the wing in most cases, so it is close the the boundary so we can push it across if needed so that we can reset, it is a necessary action to beat the high press.  now days we are seeing people do small kicks across the back line and from side to side like they are playing ping pong, I like dunny's style, kick the crap out of it and get it as far away from the goal his is defending. I thought his game on the weekend for casey was excellent. Would be disappointing to see him leave, but the competition of spots in the backline is hotting up. he will be missed as he has been a pretty good team man.

i'd prefer to hang onto Dunny as a bit of back up if he's only going to net a fourth round pick, open to offering him up with something else as a pick upgrade or something

could we bundle Dunn and our third rounder for their second rounder?

SEN today were saying that Brisbane have been shopping Rockliff around and nobody is biting.  Sounds like we may be able to get a bargain there.  I'm sure they'd prefer to keep their picks and move on an unwanted player...  :)

Dunn, Garland and Dawes and the deal is done.

Brisbane would be laughing if they could grab Dunny for a fourth round pick. 

I'd much prefer to keep him, but if his opportunities here have dried up then he should probably go. He's too good to be languishing in the VFL.

At 29 I think early third round is about right.

when a club with little talent wants to trade their Captain it tells you something is up, clearly he's rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.

He isn't worth much more than a 4th rounder or upgrade somewhere, but would be of value to the right club if he found his mojo.

If someone wants him and he wants to go there the club will make it happen whether we get something or not.

We need a strong marking forward that can pinch hit in the ruck.

Dunn should be given a preseason to become this player.  He has the attributes, and does not pose the same liabilities that he currently does to the gameplan.  He may actually offer more than what is currently on the market - he can out-Dawes Dawes, I'd reckon, and his leadership and experience could be valuable to the young heads in the forward line.

One year extension, with the opportunity to be the hit up big kicker that could be really useful to our game plan.

Yes if he found his mojo, I think it depends on whether bridges are burned or not, I get the feeling that there is tension in the relationship.

Doubt he'd be 10th in line to be the pinch hitter in the ruck, I don't think he's got much of a vertical leap at all. That said I wouldn't be surprised if is on the list next year if they try and refashion him back into a forward or at the least a permanent swing man (Pederson style), rather than a pure back-man like he's become over the last few years.  

Also in contract so no extension needed, he'll either stay, be traded or be paid out although I think we might have gone past those days.

Add Terlich or Newton and get their first?

How could anyone seriously think that Terlich will be traded anywhere. Why would any other club waste money on him? He reminds me of an optional extra on cars like GT stripes or spoilers They simply don't add anything to thepackage

Swap him to the Saint'rs,  plus 2017 2nd Rnd pick for Billy Longer.

maybe 'rubbed'... past tense? possibly damage has been dunn before now.

He should be OK as a player, as long as he drops the beamer scharade.  but we do need speed & gut runners.

I think Fifty-5 was having a laugh MD.

Why would Longer leave a team where he's 2nd in line behind one of the best half dozen rucks in the comp to a team where he'll be 2nd in line behind the best in the comp.

And for the record, Longer can't play forward.

Think Dunn is a worse mark than Dawes. One pre-season ain't gonna fix that!

Yeah I agree I still think his steadiness and skill are worth more in a developing side. O Mac still far from convincing for mine, but thats just IMO.

I would rather keep Dunny and jetison Garland!

I don't know, I added a starsky and Hutch stripe to a white HT Holden in the late seventies and the girls thought I was a sensation!!

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
