Who does Dunn have to root to get a game?

Would really like some transparency from the MFC as to why they make certain selections, atleast then we wouldn't have to speculate about the conspiracy that we are buffing the Zebra's with players to help qualify for finals and win another VFL premiership. Still can't understand why dunn struggles to get a game and how PJ is running around for Sandringham at the moment. :rolleyes:

    Dunn is already qualified so there goes that theory.

    If you actually looked at his game for Sandy last week you would be far from impressed.

    I agree Dunn was ordinary last week but his MFC form was fairly good before being dropped.

    Was it any worse than the tripe served up by most the MFC players last week against Port?

    Ferguson, Brown, Ward will get the chop

    They will play Bode. NO point elevating him otherwise.

    They will definately not cut any shining youngsters like Newton, Buckley or Frawley.

    Wish Dunn would get a game somehow, playing him up forward. I like him as a 3rd tall up forward. Maybe take Robbo off for the year to get him right, Dunn move into a similar role.

    i reckon you might be wrong. i reckon Jamar, Buckley, Bode and Ward will get the chop from the bench named.

    i think you have hit the nail on the head about why dunn isnt getting a game.

    with neitz, robbo, newton, bate all playing forward dunn would be the 5th tall forward in the side, and thats not gonna happen. he is better being left at sandy where he can try and dominate (which is obviously isnt doing) and apply what he has learnt at AFL level. with miller, holland, carrol, ferguson and frawley in the side as tall backs we are looking pretty top heavy already. add jamar as a possible backup ruckman, there isnt relaly a spot for dunn...

    imo he needs to take robbos spot...

    I don't understand why anyone would question Buckley.

    They love him. They think he is going to be great. Riley thinks he is amazing. The reason he only got named after Neale left.

    Riley really rates Bucks and has spoke in the media about how important Buckley and Newton are to the end of 2007, developing two terrific kids for next year. He will not miss another game.

    I have no idea why Ferguson's still in the 18. Boggles the mind.

    I can understand with Miller, Jamar cause if they play well, ppl may be swayed to keep them or have trade value.

    Ferguson's got no trade value whats so ever. At 25, his got the same strength as a 17 y.o solid built KPP. Not too many 17 y.o to match up on every week.

    I reckon from the named team Bode will not play and there will be a couple of late withdrawals due to injury; Robbo and Frawley looked a bit proppy last week and i am not sure whether they will play. This will leave Jamar to come in and Ferg, Bucks, Ward and the rest to retain their spot.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
