MELBOURNE defender Lynden Dunn looks likely to join Collingwood, with a trade deal close to being finalised.

The Magpies are focused on replenishing their backline stocks after key defender Nathan Brown joined St Kilda as a free agent on Sunday and with fellow tall Jack Frost likely to join the Brisbane Lions on a three-year deal before the trade deadline closes on Thursday.

AFL.com.au can confirm Collingwood has had discussions with Melbourne about Dunn, 29, and understands the clubs are close to agreeing to a trade that would send a late draft pick to the Demons.

I can't believe what's happening atm. And I just forked out $900 for 2017.

thoughts on Lynden Dunn?

Apparently we are trading for him...whats he worth? a 3rd/4th rounder?

I'm thinking a Sam Mitchell type trade (pick in the 80's). Probably not going to use that pick, but it merely facilitates the trade without the Demons having to delist him and sending him out on the open market.

I'm not a huge wrap for this trade, although I have warmed to it a bit.

Compared to the other options, Dunn is at least a good kick and can play on a variety of opponents. I'd prefer him over Silvagni or Mitch Brown.

It doesn't solve our issues though, and I still think we need to recruit some young key defenders quickly.

 

[WakeUpPies]

Is Dunn an upgrade on Brown? The last time I paid attention to him he was a forward.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Well we didn't match the offer.

No club has ever matched an offer.

The bloke left for more $$$ and probably a longer contract.

 

[PieBeast]

Actually pretty happy with picking up Dunn for peanuts.

I feel like I'm going to be the only one though...

No, can see plenty other hardcore Buckley apologists rapt with this move.

 

[Burns2008]

who would win in a race dunn, think bulldogs, out with the slow players

 

[TradeDraft]

Pretty sure TradeDraft you won't be racing anyone to open your Welcome to Collingwood Lynden Dunn thread.

Lynden f**king Dunn.

I just have no words.

Nah im not to fussed either. So il side with you

Tbh I suspect he will just be used as depth to Reid and Keeffe, you would be crazy to go into the season without any depth to the KP area.

Yes they have.

About the same at Best. At least Dunn can Kick

No I'm also keen on Dunn, averaged 4.32 rebound 50s in 2015, putting him 9th in the league.

For reference, Reid averaged 4.41 this year, putting him 8th in the league.

Neither Frost or Brown made the top 100.....

If we plan on playing counter attacking football, he would be a good replacement for those 2.

 

[10571z]

Don't mind Dunn. Will be good backline depth incase we get a few backline injuries. Will cost nothing.

 

[danielnajdek]

We are seriously going to get Dunn. Lol. He is useless.

 

[Reens]

Dunn only played the 4 games this year...might be a concern if it is due to form?

He is also turning 30 next year

 

[MagpieJoel]

Yes they have.

Who matched an offer?

 

[Stoods]

Will posters care if we get him for pick 83 or even pick 65?

83 is literally a free hit. 65 yes could be used as some points for daicos potentially.

Tom Macdonald was in front of him.

 

[Burns2008]

afl too investigate clarko to see if hes been taking something that is effecting him

Taylor Adams is a better player than Bernie Vince, he is just carrying that reputation of butchering the footy from his earlier years and it is tainting how he is perceived. But that Dees midfield is excellent, they've done a great job of rebuilding.

Bernie Vince seems a bit underrated on here he was a quality player for Adelaide then went to Melbourne and has been practically their best mid.

I think Adams is a quality player for us and is around Vinces mark when fully fit.

 

[Mr Bombastic]

Who matched an offer?

Crows last year for Dangerfield.

 

[neilk]

Any candidates we can get in that are decent if Gubby gets suspended?

It's semi terrifying he came in and went scorched earth and may not be around to put the pieces back together.

Like-for-like. Bring in Andrew Ireland.
