Why Luke Dunstan came to Melbourne
Watershed year at the Dee’s for Dunstan? Was a great contributor at Casey and key reason for flag, and can be very proud. I like him as he is an honest footballer but can’t see him playing 1’s unless it is inside mid and both Clarrie and Vines are out/rested. From watching Casey he hasn’t improved his quick disposal like we needed him to. Gets it OK and can/will run both ways.

Not AFL
Great Britain (or just Britain) is the main landmass/island occupied by countries England, Scotland and Wales which together with Northern Ireland form the United Kingdom. Wasn’t always this united…

Leadership and Stability
We have the culture now, great leadership examples, and have been recruiting with character/leadership traits in mind for a good while now. While we have great understudies in our current leadership group it is possible that our next captain may emerge from the current 21-23 yo crop and surprise most of us, particularly if Gawn can stay another 3-4yrs mostly on the park.

The No T$ No B$ Thread
We are a broad community! I grew up in a Richmond zone and while I loved it when their players came to our school and we did drills on the oval I couldn’t stand the team. After many demons hammerings I did have a brief flirtation with Hawthorn and was known to get around in a Melbourne jumper and Hawks beanie, so I wasn’t actually in the closet. Didn’t last long and was at Waverley prelim 1987 and cried.

Kozzy Pickett Re-Signs for 4 Years
Kosi is very special, so good already but still so much upside. I hope he is happy settled this year at/in Melbourne and decides to sign with us for as long as he wants. If he moves on I’ll be shattered but at least he won’t be lost to the AFL. I still enjoyed watching the Wiz at Freo, even against us. None of us saw enough Liam Jurrah or Allen Jacovich (very different circumstances) though.

Kozzy Pickett Re-Signs for 4 Years
Agree. Round 9 WCE and 10 Nth Melbourne were early and missed opportunities to rest key veterans/bad niggles.

Gawn vs Cox
Yes some ruckman have a few dominant seasons but Cox had a decade of dominance.

From the vault
Yes I think Jacko helped turn sport into entertainment. His antics were also a distraction to opponents. Genuine footballer and clown.

From the vault
Not common but not rare. Often 45 rpm which gave more volume/better treble. I remember Billy Idol had one ‘Got to be your (12 inch) Lover’!

Barry Round
RIP Big Barry. One of my all time favourite oppo players. Very hard to shift from under the ball, could handball a mile and was an ungainly but effective kick.
