 Brayden Sier are two young mids with upside, not convinced by either of them but might've been worth exploring.

Sier was electric in the first half of the 2018 Grand Final, finished the game with 21 disposals and seven clearances. Curious as to why he didn't develop further?

Sounds like he’s hungry to prove himself and fits into our program. Mature and experienced addition to our strong midfield group.  Maybe we can show faith in him by giving him the No.2 jumper for 2022.

Reminds me of Stephen Powell the way he moves.  Might be the left side bias but I reckon he's got a bit of Powell about him.  If he turns out as good as that I'll be pretty happy.

Exactly what I thought.  Then, maybe I was deeluded.  A great get in my view.

Not that much faith...

Those younger guys are only just starting and have a much higher ceiling of potential worth.

Bluddoath! Not too sure just how high that ceiling is going to be - and it applies to other 'newbies', youth and 'just out of the side' players, as well. Just the same, welcome Dunnie - tan. He will provide further competitiveness, skill and team merits to our listings of available players. 

Hell, next year is going to be exciting!

I’ve been watching some of the replays of matches on the Fox Footy Channel including the mini matches. So far, Dunstan’s kicking hasn’t been as problematic as I anticipated. In fact one of his kicks to Max King was a great pass. There were lots of other examples. It wouldn’t surprise if it gets even better when he’s done a preseason with the team.

His kicking is rather good, I feel; he was used at the Saints to get the ball and then get it out; at the Dees, I'd expect his support structures are going to be in the elite class (as proven through the finals) so he may just have the opportunity to focus on delivery up the ground, more fully. He certainly gets the possessions, he can handball, he is tough as a brit schtykhouse and seems to have very good disposal upfield, once clear.

As mentioned by several DL observers, he is a spitting image of Stephen Powell - but tougher - and that is by no means a poor appraisal. Quick, someone with the tech savvy, get him a copy of Powell's highlights reel to consider.

I'd reckon Richo, his old coaching mentor at the Saints, advised the MFC on this bloke and his adaptability, his toughness, his ability to 'get the ball' and his highly suitable profile for the Dees. To my mind, he is a far better pick-up than an acne-stricken youth yet to play big-time footy.

At who's expense? 

I'd think the club would play the GF team in front of the members, barring injuries of course.

I would answer that but it's too early to crank this site in to a frenzy at this stage........

Another astute pick up by the club. Although given the plethora of midfield talent we have may struggle to get games. Thats ok.

Multiple players, pressure on the incumbents is a real positive.

Don't doubt that but Picket made a statement of fact that Dunstan will play in the first game.

So baring injuries, I asked him at who's expense?

Anyone who is not fit or focussed or a number of other reasons. Maybe he won’t be but it’s great to have the pressure on the current squad of guns.

given we are injury free, which is unlikely he might struggle but everyone needs to be in top form. I can easily see him in round one.

Why? There have been plenty of successful father-son combinations across the competition where the son has not worn his father's jumper number - such as the two Gary Abletts, Tim and Jobe Watson and Ken and Dustin Fletcher, just to name a few. (I actually can't think of a combination where the father and son wore the same number.) I suspect it's hard enough to follow in a successful father's footsteps at the same club without being burdened with the same number.

#1 at Carlton. Three generations

But I agree. Most F/S would not care

And I suspect that extra burden isn't helping Silvagni III. (Although it clearly didn't hinder SOS).

 

Great to see Dunstan on Channel 9 news tonight doing weights and fitness sessions with Gawn and Gus. Will give himself every chance to break in in 2022 and prove the saints wrong.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
