Offical Play Dunn as a Forward Thread

Featured Replies

We need someone, with the teeny tiniest forward instinct to bust a bum across half forward.

Lynden Dunn, good endurance, OK overhead and dangerous around goals could fit the criteria.

The midfield experiment is over. Send Lyndon home.

Anyone with me?

yeah... would try anything at the moment

 

Yeah, if he's going to play at all he needs to be up forward.

I can see him as a real Ryan O'Keefe type player... :P

If Dunn's going to play it should be as a forward. Whether he actually gets another game depends on form at Casey, which, judging by yesterday, isn't that good.

He should have been there all season.

 

Dunn is not good overhead, he's a terrible mark. When he goes up forward he plays as a small forward.

Guys, there's a reason why the footy department has tried to turn him into a tagger

exactly. he should've never been moved from the forward line.

from the VFL.

Is he another of your flawless good kickers unfairly held back at Casey?

There is a reason he does not cut in the AFL even when MFC are that bad.

See if you can work out why.....

Yes if this role does not require Dunn to mark above his head or make any body contact then absolutely.

Yes, Dunn...no.

Dunn going to the forward line will solve none of our problems. We need midfielders who get clearances and run hard as a goup to provide options. We also need to collectively put on about a tonne

I'd rather see Hughes given a go in the forward line than Dunn to be honest.

I have no problem with Dunn getting some time in the forward line. He cannot be any worse than the forwards from last night and he has shown a reasonable goal sense at times in the past.


I like him better as a forward than a midfielder, but our midfield is rubbish at the moment and any forward would struggle. Dunn wants to play in the midfield because he knows if he plays forward he will gone at seasons end.

Should never have been moved out of the forward line by Daniher.

I was a fan of Dunn, but i think hes finished.

Playing for Casey while Melbourne are on the bottom with one win, shows us where hes at in his career. Hes been here long enough. Seems along time ago when i think Daniher had him tagging and playing well.

Id pick Maric over him now.

I actually think that Dunn should play on the half back line and Rivers should play at full forward. Rivers has only had a few sorties forward and never really been tried as a key forward. He leads well as is a long accurate kick.

Interesting seeing who was selected where and how they have developed.

Names stand out like Buddy, Roughhead, Griffen, Lewis.

Surprise seeing LeCras at 37 (Good pick)

Also should have we selected pick 44 instead of 43, after reading the player comments make you wonder what they were thinking.


There is no doubt Dunn plays differently for Melbourne than he does with Casey. I think it is more than just the quality of opposition, it seems to me that he stops attacking. When he plays for Casey he takes the game on, for Melbourne he plays 100% defensive. That said, I also think we need to bring in a tagging player and while Bartram performs that role I would prefer to see Dunn as our main tagging player because he can kick, he just needs to learn to play both ways.

Dunn is not good overhead, he's a terrible mark. When he goes up forward he plays as a small forward.

Jarka, The footy department are trying to turn him into a player he simply isn't. He was drafted as a forward so he should be played there. Too many footy clubs especially MFC play players out of position (Petterd, Martin and Dunn).

He needs to play forward all year, If he doesn't work out he has to be put on the trade table. Enough is enough !!!!!!

Steamin, he was drafted to play as a key forward. He continually demonstrates that he is not a key forward, he plays as a small forward, and not a very good one at that. That's why the club tried to turn him into a midfielder. I hope I'm wrong about him, but it doesn't look good.

Out of interest out of those players you mentioned, Petterd, Martin and Dunn, what exactly is their best position?

I agree Jarka.

In my opinion Steamin' is right in a way though. The footy department have tried to turn him in to something he's not: an AFL grade footballer.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
