Dunn + Bode

Featured Replies

Posted

I was WAY too close to the action to be able to tell who ANYONE was on unless they were in the pocket... and even then only for 2 quarters...

Did Dunn and Bode have jobs again today? I realise neither had much impact, which is why I reckon perhaps that was just because they were running with other players...

Anybody have better eyes than me?

 

Dunn was outstanding! Completely shut out Brisbane's most influential onballer.... Even when Black had space, he thought Dunn was close and completely stuffed the kick... I love the improvement with this bloke! At the moment, it is more important for Dunn to shut down a player and then lets worry bout the stats! We are in desparate need of a stopper, we have not a decent one for years!

 
Dunn ran with Simon Black.

Not sure about Bode.

Correct, Dunn tagged Black. I also noticed Buckley running with Notting as defensive wingman/half forward type for a bit.

Bode spent the majorty of the 2nd half on the bench i thought?

I don't remember seeing him on the field at all after half time. I'm probably wrong, but i didnt notice much of he or Stef Martin in the 2nd half, particularly the last quarter.

Dunny takes another scalp today! Simon Black had 20 odd touches but I reckon he had about 7 or 8 clangers today as he was under so much pressure. Black`s innefectiveness was one of the main reasons we won today. Nice job Lynden you are one of a number of young blokes who are slowly raising the bar!Bode should be rested, he had 5 touches I reckon and needs some confidence back at Sandy. 3 or 4 weeks now and no impact

Agree with the fact he did a good job on Black... but Simon still had 20+ touches and 10 clearances...

Still... Probably as good as can be expected...

There's about 6-8 young guys that have all but cemented spots in the 22 who weren't in there at the start of the year....

CJ, PJ, Buckley, Dunn, Morton, Garland, Warnock, Wonna etc etc

I hate to pump up my own tyres :P , but i have been defending Dunn for weeks telling eveyone who was bagging him that he was becoming a tagger.

Another game, another scalp. Well done Dunny.

 

Don't know why your question the role of Dunn. IMO he is easily in our best 22.

Dunn showed no courage or comittment errors today either, which is a major improvement on last week.

Black had 23 touches, Dunn 17 and a stack of tackles at the stoppages. Everytime Black had it, Dunn was always right behind him, driving him into the turf. Black's numbers look ok, but his effectiveness and impact was non-existent today IMO. Dunn made him earn every touch.

Top marks Lynden Dunn!


I haven't consulted the stats, but i'm sure you'll find that the effectiveness of Black's possessions were well below his usual best

Dunn the new Cameron Ling

Cameron Ling is the old Lyndenn Dunn :)

great stuff by dunn, and will only keep getting better. BUt Bode, i reckon this guy is a goner, i think he picked up like 5 disposals and seemed uninfluential.

66 ranking / supercoach points for Black... been averaging 110 this season... enough said...

at the same time Dunn got 83 points himself... great game from Dunn... the best he's done at his hurting his opponent the other way while he's been tagging... the improvement is really exciting

Actually there were a couple, but they weren't glaring.... he's a work in progress in this regard. There were other times that he went in hard and tackled his arse off, once he does it all the time without thinking about it, he'll be a complete player. Apparently he's got a fantastic attitude, so I think he'll continue to improve under Bailey and Co.


Dunny needs to get a bit more mongrel in his tagging style though, and if he is gunna give away cheap holding free's then he should be making black, goodes ect earn them

make himself known as someone that gunna hurt you for 120mins each week, not just run with them!!!

otherwise, he was very good, and he uses the ball well when he gets it himself

I saw in the stats that Dunn had laid game-high nine (9) tackles for the day, almost all exclusively on Black. I didn't watch him too closely, so those little 'squibs' he may have had, as u said, weren't glaring and went unnoticed by me. What i did notice was he was on Black's backside every step of the way. I said to my mate after the game i thought he probably laid 5 or 6 tackles... but to see he actually laid 9 is a really pleasant surprise. I definitely sensed a lift in the physical side of his game, but do agree, he has some way to go still in terms of physicality and impact. Today was a great step forward though.

23 cheap, non-influential possies from Black.

He was owned by Dunn.

Black's disposal efficiency was only 52.17%. He also had 7 clangers. These stats show good pressure from Dunn, which means that 23 Black possessions is not as good as it sounds.


As has been said Dunn had a solid game, laid some great tackles and pushed up his possie count. 'Dunn + Bode' is a strange thread topic.

There definately was one, in the 1st quater should have gone for the mark, ended up getting the ball and kicking to Miller who marked in the goalsquare so i'll let him off this time.

dunn ran with black for the first 3/4s but during the last quarter i saw dunn running with sam power a couple of times. im not sure if black was off during the last quarter or he just swapped jobs. in the las quarter i thought bartram was with hooper from memory?

 

I thought Dunn's greatest contribution came with seconds to go when he was the the player closest to our goal; he was on the defensive side of centre marking the last Brisbane player, I thought it was 30 Copeland, but it may well as been 20 Black. The ball came out and he got in front and got the ball to the onrushing Davey? who gave it to Green ...

I thought Dunny at least broke even with Black, which is a damn good achievement given Black's well earned reputation and recent form. 'Brush' has a huge upside, and I reckon that over the next few seasons, we will see him start to really hurt opposition teams offensively, as well as through his negating roles.

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
