2010 Player Review - # 14 Lynden Dunn


Demonland

Recommended Posts

He was a sensation and he has some mongrel about him. I'd like to see him job a few more backmen, but they certainly know he's there now. I can't believe the transformation. I swear, at the start of the year I thought he was an A-grade spud. I remember this giant run-up he took for a long shot on goal against North. You just knew it was going to end in tears and it did. That player seems like he's from the moon compared to Dunn in the second half of the year. I love him -- and his moustache.

He did well in the second half of 2011.

He did extremely well by his appalling standards before that.

Always wary of 'contract' years; we all try a little harder than usual when our livelihood is on the line.

At risk of showing a bit of MFCSS here, but I will say that there is a spot for him in our forward line if he wants it.

Agree. He needs to back it up again in 2011.

Dunn is not a CHF. He played a defensive role on damaging HBFs and tried to make them accountable. That isn't the stuff CHFs are made of.

Where is Watts going to play?

On the money with that comment.

It was entirely unexpected from my POV.

My view as well.

He was a sensation and he has some mongrel about him. I'd like to see him job a few more backmen,...

Ugh. I hope he does not.

Good stuff Dunny, for a while there you were kicking points that JUST missed by a whisker. But your luck changed cause you stuck at it.

Next year the club needs you do that for the whole season, could be a fantastic 50-60 goal kicker, if LJ can kick the same amount on the other flank-look out AFL.

Apparently, Lynden had an eventful GF replay.

I assume we don't post because we protect our own?

Litigious reasons?

The mods can delete this if they feel necessary, but I just want to announce my displeasure about the fact that I can't talk about my club because of litigation against 3rd parties.

Honestly, suing the internet?

It's like yelling at the ocean.

Dunn's transformation in the second half of the year reminds me of Col Sylvia last year. I remember being at the 2009 Hawks V Dees match when Col picked up 3 votes in a losing team. For the first time I thought Col looked really composed and had time to execute his skills. After that match he has been a different player, it was the psychological transformation we were all hoping for. At the start of the season I thought Dunn was showing the same signs, but he kept missing shots on goal which I reckon kept his confidence down. He gets dropped (a bit harsh I thought) and then kicks 8 goals in a monsoon at Casey, then comes back, starts kicking goals from all over the field, finally gets his confidence up and...grows a mo...

I think Dunn definately has a spot in the forward six round 1 next year

I don't think it's a question of whether Dunn will make it as a professional footballer, I think he has. The question is whether he will be good enough to keep his spot in our forward line that will have a number of challengers for his position in Bate, Bennell, Tapscott and pick #12 in this year's draft (if they pick a forward).

As for whether he can tear it up or not, watch the second quarter against North in Round 22, he is unbelievable...and BTs commentary about his Mo is pretty funny...I'm more excited by others in the forward line, but I'm definately looking forward to seeing what Dunn can go next year and beyond.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
