That just sounds plain made up. Can't even spell Dunn's name properly.

Apart from either being subbed on or subbed off in that last second St Kilda loss in 2015, I can honestly say he never played a poor game for the club. The trouble is he never played a particularly good one either. If he was playing in the MLB baseball in the USA, he'd be known as the classic AAAA player. Too good for the best minor league (AAA), but just not quite good enough for the big league.

'No woe is me', from my point of view. We'll be the biggest winners of the trade/free agency period due to the critical re-signing of Hogan. The re-signing of Hogan is far more valuable than the following players nominating Melbourne as their club of choice: 1) A solid b+ meat and potato midfielder (Prestia) 2) A potential champion who hasn't played a game since iPhone 5's were the hottest thing in town (O'Meara) 3) A good midfielder with no pace and slightly questionable disposal (Mitchell) 4) A 32 year old who once played 6 games in 2 years (Wells) 5) a player that hasn't had a good season since 2012 (Mayne) 6) A forward ruck that has been even more inconsistent than Watts (Vickery)

2 years left on his contract. No way a club's going to take that on in the event we're trying to trade him. A bounce back year isn't out of the question but he's outside the best 22 as we speak..

Didn't even he realise he wears #18 for us.

Exactly. I didn't hear us Demonlanders complain in 2002 when we had something like a 9-3 record there since its opening.

Surprised he's only played 16 games over the last 2 years. Would be nice if he had an injury free year next.

LOL, what a load of garbage. Rob Kerr (Essendon) just mentioned that the club hasn't even met him yet.

Port supporters can't stand O'Shea. Even more of a whipping boy than Toumpas.

A forward-ruck capable of 40 goals a year should at least warrant some thinking about.

I'm still angry the Dogs won it. I haven't been this bitter about a side winning a flag since Hawthorn way back in 2015.

Great result. But the wolves (media) will be back round 1 2018, demanding we re-sign him 46 rounds early.

The thread title was the exact reason I wanted Sydney to beat the Dogs.

I'm totally shitty with that result. It just shows what a joke and fark up we've been over the last 10 years and how a battling and even less resourced side like the dogs who have experienced the ultimate hardship (losing CEO, coach and captain in the one off season) have reached Mt Everest in the space of 23 months. I'm in total admiration of the Western Bulldogs and acknowledge how far we're away from even a finals win. Its like watching your colleague at work getting that promotion that you've been striving for. Sure you're happy for them but how does it advantage you individually.

Would he be a lock in GWS's best 22 if he was still there?

I could've sworn they won the flag last week. I've never seen such elation and excitement after a game that wasn't a grand final.

I want Sydney to win. I should be happy for the Doggies supporters after their massive drought but I'm not. It's kind of like seeing your mate win tattslotto. Whilst it's fantastic for your mate, what benefit do you actually get out of it? I hope Buddy kicks a goal after the siren to win the game as a result of a dubious free kick.

Did you say Melbourne have a better midfield than Geelong? You must have missed out round 23 encounter.

I heard it differently. Healy said he called Hogan's management for a comment on the recent scuttle butt. Healy relayed to the listeners that Hogan's management denied any contract extension had taken place and basically inferred that an extension is miles away.

Speculation of him re-signing is so far off the money according to his management, via the mouth of Gerard Healy. Scoop McClure was also on the show and he put in his 2 cents worth and re-iterated this stance.

If anyone has any doubts about Tyson's class and ability to step up in big games, they need to watch the last qtr of the Hawthorn win. Two clutch goals, one a fantastic snap and the other a 45 mtr set shot on an angle to ice the game. He was also near BOG in the first Hawks game.

Was listening to 3AW last night. In response to yesterday's speculation, Gerard Healy felt compelled to call Hogan's management for a comment. Hogan's management laughed it off and said it was so far from the truth.

I heard that that the MCC requests Melbourne play away games against Etihad co-tenants (particularly Essendon & Carlton) in order to play as many games as possible at the G. The AFL meets this request as we've played Essendon and Carlton as away games at the MCG every year since 2011. The problem is that instead of getting double up games against them, we end up playing a bunch of home MCG games against the franchises and interstate sides.
