Transformation of Lynden Dunn

WHO DUNNIT?

Nice article about Dunny's transistion to the life of a tagger. Gotta love the way he goes about his footy as well as being a top bloke off the field. Hopefully he can one day become the hunted.

Future is bright for this one!

 

Yeah. You recruit a guy his height you expect him to become a KP player of some description...

I'm hoping he goes the way Ling did... Ling was recruited as a forward, became a tagger, then became a tagger who got lots of touches and is now just a great midfielder.

If Dunn just becomes one of the leagues bet taggers then I reckon that's almost a bit of a loss, having such a talented player play negatively. Like being the smartest kid in special school.

No need to worry DD. He's already showing an offensive side to his midfield tagging role. In another one or two years I reckon they they might be tagging him.

The possessions will come.

Where he'll be most damaging however is an abillity to go forward and take a grab


Still should be forward. Tagging is easy

If he continues to beat guys like Hayes,Goodes and Black in the middle then he is far more valuable doing just that as opposed to taking a few grabs as a CHF. He pantsed Black and that won us the game 2 weeks ago. Its exciting to see and I look forward to seeing his next few victims walk off beaten when they are used to tearing games apart.. He may well end up a forward but he has a huge role in the team right now and is doing it beautifully.

Good times. Don't underestimate the importance of defensive skills and mindset. No team wins a premiership or any sporting championship for that matter without excelling defensively. It's often a trademark of very good teams that they're able to make their opposition look poor through the pressure and blanketing applied rather than their own attacking brilliance. Dunn's game will benefit greatly by applying a defensive approach to it. As long as it's not countered by offensive ineptitude then I'm all for it. His tagging roles have really added something to the team the last few weeks.

anyone with a semi-decent motor can tag. its easy. if a player is fixated on tagging a player out of a game, then they shouldn't get more than 7 or 8 touches such is the easy nature of tagging. For the record, Simon Black was still named in the best for Brisbane.

Freak, who named him in the best? He certainly didn't have his usual impact.


Another scalp today. I would like to see Cooney`s stats for the year . I think you would find he had his most ineffective day all year. Cooney had 17 touches, Dunn had 15! Pretty sure Cooney would be averaging well over 25 a game. Against one of the faves for the Brownlow, Dunn has done his job yet again!!

Each time you write something on this site, you become more of a tool bag..... And being a tradesman, I already have one of these and really don't wish to see another one every day of my life..... Can you please post on 'ology????

:P I am actually tempted to go back thru your history of posts to see if you have ever said anything that suggests you have a football brain.... :blink:


I get the feeling that Dunn's being taught his defensive capabilities and over the second half of this year will be told to become damaging on the rebound and force his opponent to be accountable. He's done really well in his role, and today Cooney became another victim of Dunn's transformation.

black was not in brisbanes best. his output was down, he was restricted in what he was able to do with the ball, his efficiency was very poor (from memory). dunn forced him to rush disposal. clearances mean the ball is cleared from a pack. it doesnt mean it was a good kick or handball, or that it went to a team mate...

If we can have a Dunn as a tagger, that's great - more flexibility than a Godfrey, and more potential to hurt players the other way.

Shame the best taggers in the game can't do what you're saying.

Cooney's 2008 stats

Dunn has done the best job on Cooney this year.

Also kept WB to their lowest score of the year.

Thanks for that Chooka! Awesome effort Dunny, Cooney was averaging 28 touches a game before yesterday. For anyone who does not see this as valuable to the team and would rather he play forward, you seriously do not understand the game of football


 
jeez is dunn a smokie for all australian!!

'Brush' is developing really well, and has some impressive scalps, but I think you might be getting a bit carried away if you are talking season 2008.

jeez is dunn a smokie for all australian!!

You should be a comedian.... :lol: NOT!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
