Yep, just came up on my Twitter feed... excellent news!!

What an amazing turn around in the past two years. I think most of us had him out of the club two years ago and now he is one of our most reliable better players. The move back and Jade Rawlings have saved this guy and thank goodness they did.

This is awesome news, great to not only hear the words coming from the playing group about positive future, 'I bleed red and blue' and all the other typical cliches, but fantastic to actually see the actions put into practice. Heres hoping that this is the first of many re signings to come throughout the year.

Great news. A real credit to him to get his game to the level it is at now. An important player over the next few years.

Well done Dunny. :)

"now I just want to play finals". Great stuff Dunny. Thanks for the timely decision .......... now its time to enjoy the good times!

Good work Dunny. Frankly would've been very surprised if he'd gone anywhere else, but it's good to see him signing now to get it out of the way.

Has been a great turnaround to watch.

Fantastic news. Please DL he has to go on the banner now!

On a related note one of the equalization measures announced by the AFL is that clubs who under spend on their draft cap over a period of time (as we have) - to a maximum of 2 years - can bank this and use this to spend over the cap over a corresponding number of years. What is great for the dees is that it is retrospective so under-spend in 2013 and 2014 can be spent as overspend (so to speak) in 2015 and 16. At a time where we are likely to be much more attractive to free agents than the last few years that puts us in a great position to both ensure we can pay our current senior players well and be competitive in the market (eg with Frawley) but more importantly have the coin to attract some qulaity talent (without upsetting the apple cart and annoying current players who might otherwise not like some blown in getting a big salary).

Great to hear... i was getting a little worried that most of the talk was about Frawley leaving.

In my opinion, Dunn has been much more impressive this year and would have been a huge loss.

This one was never in doubt in my mind, but should keep a few of the panic merchants around here quiet for a bit.

Without meaning to give a backhanded compliment, this is the first time that Dunn re-signing has given me that *yessssssss* feeling. He definitely took the scenic route, but has developed in to a strong, reliable and important player. His promotion to the leadership group shows where the club thinks he is at, and I couldn't be more pleased. Well done.

To see where has come from to his last few seasons is truly amazing. Good re-signing.

Good to see a player in his prime just sign the deal that will no doubt keep him handsomely rewarded and not hold the club to ransom to lever the best possible deal

Great work Dunny.

Yes he is a Bannerman! All things being equal he should be currently in Sheahans top 50.

This is one of those times when Dunn has the persistence of others, aswell as himself, to thank for his success.

2005 was his first year and 2013 was the first time he turned into a solid pro who cemented himself in the best 22.

I am glad we don't have to worry about a very capable third tall down back with excellent skills for three years.

Well done!

I heard about a month ago that Frawley has agreed to sign on and they are working out the details, but essentially the club is keeping the news close to hand until they think the supporters need a lift.

Just something I heard around the traps.

I have heard information from 3 people that support this, 3 people have said their club enquired but were under the impression that Chip would re-sign

Good on you Lynden Dunn!!!

For some reason I always had faith he'd come good and he really has in every way.

Best MFC news in quite awhile.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
