In a perfect world, yes. I said at the get go of this thread that I'd have both as a preference, but we may need the midfield rotations, which makes numbers on the bench tight. I'm right on the fence suggesting both, but like you pointed out it's Dunn's talent and scoreboard influence vs Miller's size and marking strength as a link-up man coming out of CHF. I'm surprised people here have picked a definite winner out of these two, as I find the choice to be difficult. Either way a lot of things could go wrong with selecting either of these players, I wouldn't want to be the guy making the decision as you'd probably cop a lot of flack for it one way or the other. When Dunn's 23 I'd suggest he'll be one of the better CHFs in the comp should he gain a bit of size and confidence in contested situations. Time will tell, but for now I suspect he won't gain 10 kilos by week one of the finals.

Both. But if I had to choose between the two I'd say Miller. More mature physically and can be put into the backline. Dunn's a ripper but it's his first season, and while Miller doesn't have a great history in finals football, he does have about 50 games more experience. Having said that I'm not sure I'd be disappointed to see Dunn line up. Great experience for him leading into a big future with the MFC.

I've always been of the understanding that the top 2 are Barassi at 1, Flower at 2. I remember a big debate with all the demonland/demonology bigwigs about the team of the century, and Neitz isn't in it for last century and probably won't be in it at FF for the next century. Had Neita's career come 10 years earlier than it did would he be in our team of last century? I like to think so. Honestly though, I don't know that he'd be in our top 5. The abovementioned and Ivor Warne-Smith, Lyon, Stynes would perhaps round it out. I never saw players play before the eighties but I'm sure Dixon, Beames, Fanning and especially Norm Smith had claims. I love Neita as much or more than the next bloke who's blood runs Red & Blue, but I don't know that he's top 5... yet.

IMO = In My Opinion ATM = At The Moment ND = Neale Daniher DN = David Neitz 426 = Nick Smith There are a few more, but I can't remember them right now. Took me a while to catch up too.
