Luke Dunstan has had a number of chances this year and has not taken them.

When Viney comes off for a 5 minute rest. Dunstan on. 
could be worth consideration 

Dunstan aint pretty but he is tough.

    Needs to impose a little more around the ground

    Rucking alone is not enough in the AFL

    Given, but has shown some commendable ‘smarts’ around the packs on today’s showing. Had some kicks on goal which didn’t, come off too.

    Not without a big payout!  Brainstrust at the club gave him a 5 year x $500K a year contract and this is the third year by my count.

    Ridiculous decision to lock him in for that long - and $150K a year too much.  He wasn't even a regular for GWS in 2019.

    .

    His contract expires at the end of 2023 and would think he is important to keep as key position depth at the moment.

    I love the hyperbole on here. If you listened to some, basically all of our listed players are either sub-standard, shocking, not up to it, past it, overpaid, overhyped, too slow, etc, etc, etc. That was a great team performance, everyone played well, no passengers. I guess perfection is the only legitimate standard for many. Dunstan and Weideman best for mine, and ALL the yet-to-debut boys were excellent.

    Great team performance!

    Dunstan is a beauty

    Tomlinson wasn't all bad... very effective around a few misfires

    Weids was definitely the most effective ruckman / follower on the ground

    JVR continues promising season

    Macca contributed

    Pleased to see the way Rosman, Baker & Chandler finished off after quiet starts

    Dunstan BOG and Brown not far behind as an important target inside 50.

    Of our younger players, JvR was super impressive and should get regular senior time next year. Howes showed promising signs, was very clean with the footy and seems to be a one touch player. Rosman worked his way into the game after half time and had noticeable 2nd and 3rd efforts with multiple tackles. I've had my doubts on him but think he's got a lot of talent to work with and should be kept for another year. Liked woewodins game and just seems like a solid footballer. Turner is one that's too good to be playing vfl for the majority of the year next season. Tough backline to crack into though. Wasn't Lauries day and was rarely sighted, looking forward to see how he responds in the prelim as I rate him as a footballer in general and has had a decent year.

    I’m pleased to see we have young wingers coming through as there aren’t too many ready made in the AFL, and a young key forward so lots of promise, JVR AND Rossman caught my eye with AFL qualities especially.

    I think it’s hyperbole to say “ everyone played well”.

    Baker, Laurie and Rosman and I think Howes didn’t touch it in the first half. Howes will be good for us though next year but I am not confident of the first three with Rosman the one I would keep of the three. Laurie I know they will keep.  Deakyn Smith was just ok.

    Woey didn’t have a great game but he has showed enough this year.

    Agree Dunstan and Weid were fantastic.

    JVR is going to be an exciting player for us and I wish Mitch Brown was 22.

    Spot on. The knock on his kicking is justified.

    3. Dunstan

    2. Brown kicked vital goals when everyone was missing 

    1. Weideman quietly went about his business

    Bedford had a "nearly" spectacular game

    A bounce here, a few more inches there and we would be singing his praises.

    Aussie Rules can be a tough game

    Don't think our boundary line game favours his style. Needs more room to use his speed to run onto the ball

    Great win by Casey - they'd give the AFL bottom 6 a run for their money.

    Van Rooyen and Turner are clearly AFL quality in the making.

    I expect Mitch Brown to retire from AFL, and Tomlinson and Dunstan should be playing AFL at another club - I couldn't blame them for that.

    Also as posted in the Bedford thread, I think him and/or Chandler will move for AFL opportunities next year.  Hopefully we can retain one of them.

    If we can beat Sydney on Friday then the VFL and AFL teams will play alternating weeks.

    If we make the AFL and VFL GFs then the VFL players will be off a 6 day break for the AFL GF.

    Sheeesh there's some serious, misinformed, delusional and ignorant rcap written about our players on 'Land at times. I have to look at the URL bar to check I haven't mistakenly logged on to the Bomber's board.

    Good summary. Didn't see the 1st half but was v impressed with Rosman in the 2nd half. Rooey looks a ripper

     

    And Ladhams should be suspended for his hit on Woewodin. Woey was over the boundary line, had disposed of the ball and the hit was high with impact. Dirtbag

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
