Lynden Dunn

Have said my piece on what I think of Dunn as a player a number of times, so I'll let that particular sleeping dog lie. For this year, I expect he'll play most of the year out at Casey before being delisted at the end of it.

Said the same thing 2 years ago and he managed to save his career that time, he's definately up against it this time.

Melbourne players have a knack for finding form in the last year of a contract, half our list is ooc at years end so we might just win the flag this year.

So you would have sacked Jeff Farmer, David Neitz, Brad Green, Robbo, Garry Lyon, ect ect ect. Rubbish Comment.

The difference is most of these players converted. Everyone did it in Lyon and Neitz day so its stupid to compare whereas Farmer actually kicked the goals unlike your love child. Robbo only played as many games late in his career because of our terrible list and was moved on because of this reason. Selfish acts. Look forward to talking to you at the end of the year Bossdog. Will be fun

I tell you what DL7 If Dunn is cut at the END of the year I will buy you a beer (or drink you choose) If he is still on our list I will accept one in return. Done deal????

Gotta cut somebody.

Before you agree to that, have a look at the list, try and figure out who is contracted, and have a think about whether Dunn, with full free agent rights would want to come back even if he is wanted.

Yep, really dumb tonight. If he gets the ball his decision making and skills are OK, but he runs around alot doing nothing. Shocker tonight.

Ticket stamped today for mine. He is a liability, refuses to play in front and plays dumb football. If he is seen much for the rest of the year will be very surprised.

Thought the same on all of your points. Would have to be the worst first round draft pick we have picked up on our current list.

Agree. Ticket was stamped already from my side. Did not need any confirmation. Definitely gone at year end

Yeah, yesterday was awful.....

I've never been one to criticise our boys too much nor speculate on their worth and futures, but honestly Dunn must be out come years end.

He was good in under 1/2 a game this weekend as sub. Garlo was good up forward & Frawley's said he'd love a go up forward too. Dunn's pretty physically solid, 192cm 95kg & would be great kicking out after a behind, so I wonder if it wouldn't be worth trying him in defence once for a change, just in case? Has anyone seen him there before?

Can't answer your question but not the worst idea I've heard. For mine his career is in the balance.

At 195KG he should be moved to Japan for the Sumo season.

Carries it well though.

Someone told me he got 7 tackles as a sub? That's not bad. Howcome he can't do that every week? I reckon he's ideal trade bait. Will never take an overhead mark in his life. But with that kick... you always have a value.

Tackle stat is a lot to do with luck aswell, he is always applying pressure and chasing but sometime you are just half a second off, 7 tackles is a very old effort in a half, but I think that for Dunn the pressure acts are what he is best at

His value will be determined by the metrics used by the AFL when they give us a pick when he leaves as a FA.

I would say a 4th round or 5th round pick.

A 4th or 5th round pick would be generous.

I think this idea has merit as you say "just in case"

Yes, "just in case". How'd it be if we de-listed him, then discovered he's a great defender? It seems his body should be better overhead than it is & hopefully he'd improve that, but he'd be the most booming kick out from the square we've got & he's pretty solid & tough isn't he?

    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    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
