Dunn on the wing

Very Jaded

Yay or Nay?

For me, excellent first quarter on the wing, and really got into the game and made some impact.

I think he is not strong enough overhead to be a key forward just yet, and using him in the middle, where he can use his run and beautiful skills below the knees, is a good move.

We could use another marking midfielder, and if nothing else, it would be a good learning curve for Dunny to be made accountable for a quality opponent.

    Dunn has found some extra speed this year. Last year he was a bit of a plodder, in 2007 he has founf some pace. He has looked good since coming back from injury, and could be used on the wing.

    When robbo gets back from injury, Dunn could very well find himself on the wing.

    I am all for moving players around this year. The season is almost gone. Lets see who can play where so we can have a better crack at 2008.

    Agree with the comment about his marking but sadly for us we desperately need some in form marking forwards.

    he looked good didnt he? played alright chasing cornes last week as well...another string to his bow, perhaps we can fit dunn, miller, netiz, and robo all in the same side?

    that being said, dunn seems to be a natural forward. by paying him in the mid we are doing exactly what people are complaining that we did to davey and green. it is a touch hypocritical...

    Could be a bit like Wheatley should have been when he was on the wing.

    I don't mind seeing Dunn learn a bit about playing on the wing, but I do think - particularly with his creativity and footy smarts - he's suited to a forward role.

    I'd rather see him on the wing rather than on the bench though, and if it develops his game that's great.

    agree jaded i thought he was quite good there, i wold like to see him thrown in the centre for a couple of bonces just to see how he would go, usually is quite clean at ground level

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
