Player Watch Lynden Dunn (Retired 2020)

[Likitysplit]

Having a Shane Wakelin-like come-from-nowhere renaissance.

His kicking is a feature. His isolation work with forwards has been honourable.

I went from laughing when we recruited him, to wishing he was 25 instead of 29.

29, while old in footy years I think we should be able to get a good 4-5 years out of Dunny. Dale Morris is 34 and Brian Lake retired at 34.

Hopefully we can play some finals and push for a flag in that time, he's already a cult hero. Love the bloke!

 

[spartan-magpie]

We owe Melbourne a big thanks. First Howe, now this bloke. Can't wait till we get petracca.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Who didn't play him very much...

But apparantly Roos is this genius

As always the cattle quality helps the market price

 

[Saintly Viewed]

We owe Melbourne a big thanks. First Howe, now this bloke. Can't wait till we get petracca.

And we gave them Lumumba, Dawes and wait for it, that's right Kennedy

 

[Quicky]

Props to Dunn. He's surprised me so far. He's avoided being exploited for pace so far which I thought would happen. Instead he's a leader, one-on-one beast, incisive kicking, desperate, intercept marking defender. Deserves the accolades.

 

[Mkcaptain]

And we gave them Lumumba, Dawes and wait for it, that's right Kennedy

And we gave them Mark Neeld

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Just love the energy he brings to the game.

And live you can see him directing etc, big voice.

And the players around him look like they like him and respect him.

Howe also comes across as very respected in the group.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

And we gave them Mark Neeld

Great pick up well done sir.

Oh, he was forgettable.

 

[unplugged]

We owe Melbourne a big thanks. First Howe, now this bloke. Can't wait till we get petracca.

The question is what do we give up for him? Blair?

 

[Saintly Viewed]

The question is what do we give up for him? Blair?

No, For Blair they better chuck in their first draft pick as well as Petraca, and we can give them our 4th round pick

How about Watts

 

[spartan-magpie]

The question is what do we give up for him? Blair?

Don't know. But I really want him at the pies.

Agree... not quite 'stick a fork in me' Dunn yet.

After this contract 'Almost' Dunn potentially has another year or so in him still. Depends if he is happy to have stints in the VFL due to team balance and as his padawan McLarty is blooded.

 

[BEEG]

Dunn is a great kick, been a great pick up, love watching him play.

I don't think it was so much of a battle of Schade v Dunn. I think it was more that Dunn is 192cm and Schade is 197. Our other defenders are Reid 195cm, Goldsack 193cm and Howe 193cm.

Our first game was against Doggies with Cloke 196cm and Boyd 200cm.

I just think Bucks wanted the height.

But I reckon undersized defenders are the way of the future. You probably want one monster, then the rest agile 3rd man up types that cover for each other.

We went in too tall against Richmond in round 2. Riewoldt was the only tall once Griffiths went down. they ran right through us.

I think Reid will come in for the taller types, and then Dunn will slot in at Full back.

Howe's only 190 I think. Which further adds to your point.

 

[nahnah]

He's a lot better than Schade, should always play over Schade unless we have a game vs buddy imo.

 

[Kilmo]

Dunn was good in the preseason, unsure it took so long for the selectors to pick him
Can tell he knew it too from the interview he gave after his first game

 

[Maggie5]

Package deal Timmy.......come on Maggie5 you know you will grow to love Roosy!!

Don't tease as I might end posting like Pie Beast.

No worries! If we keep beating you I can't say it bothers me a whole lot

Dunny should be able to play for a couple more years, doesn't rely on pace because he doesn't have any.

Is Lynden Dunn, Dazza from Housos?

I reckon there's a bit of Harry Kane about him too..

I think Schade showed more than Dunn in a few senses in jlt. He got more of the ball and was more dynamic. Dunn looked a bit lost and perhaps wanted to play a bit less selfish. I was surprised with his ball use since coming in to the team. I honestly think schade was better placed. I'm not fussed with schade being in the side for as long as he was and with dunn coming in later.

 

[Jabso]

smaller defence has been a trend for a few years. dogs won a flag with it.

I think that was almost accidental due to injuries. It kind of makes sense though. Personally we've often been in a disadvantage when an opposition tall goes down and brown doesnt have a match up. Or like in the 11 gf when podsiadly went down, the 50% fit reid didnt have a match up. Medium types can match up on monster talls a lot better than key defenders can on small players.

 

[Unknown Identity]

Our bits and pieces defence of Dunn and Goldsack is proving effective.

No Frills, just get the job Dunn..

Big fan of his work so far, been a great pick up.

Dunn looks bigger in a Collingwood jumper.
