2015 Player Review - 14 Lynden Dunn

Featured Replies

Posted

"After finishing fourth in the best and fairest in 2014, Dunn backed up his best AFL season with another fine year and top 10 placing. Playing predominantly down back, the first-year vice-captain was a reliable performer week in, week out. Dunn has now played the past 61 matches in a row, including every game in the past two seasons."

* quote from MFC site

 

He is a remarkably improved player who rarely now makes mistakes and is solid week in week out

and love the occasional Torps

Very steady and perhaps (based only on the last game) versatile

 

Didn't have as good as year as 2014 altho improved as the year went on. Seemed to have lost his one on one skills a bit but that may have been because of his exceptional 2014. Was a standout in the Geelong game.


contract hangover perhaps.

Hopefully we see him buiild on this years second half and not repeat the first.

His first year under Roos was possibly the best of his career. This year didn't quite mirror that though he was solid enough. He's 27 with two years to run on his contract, that should see him out nicely.

Happy for Grimes/Howe/Garland to be moved on but we must keep him while Frost and Oscar learn the ropes.

 

Go out on a limb here but I thought Dunn was bog ordinary except for the Geelong game. I want more from a player in his prime with 150 games experience. The fact that he he finished 10th in the b&f tells me the coaches were also disappointed.

I thought he was fair at best this year, although he did suffer from some poor matchups at times (eg Tippett in round 6). I would like to see him show some more leadership on the field.


Would love to see a few 65m Torps go sailing through the sticks post high next year...

I don’t rate Dunn anywhere near as highly as everyone else on this site seems too, but he’s definitely a much improved player on what he used to be.

Loved that switch up forward, albiet against an under strength side, in the last round. Could certainly kick em from a way out. Very accurate too.

CHAMPION OF THE CLUB. 5 year contract please

As a backman he can get lost too easily.

I feel he is ready for the switch to CHF.

Lets use the long straight kicking to advantage as as a foil for Dawes/Pedersen.

Frost is a faster,better marking option down back.

Dunn has done his time at the coal face.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
