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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
