2015 Player Review - 14 Lynden Dunn

[Whispering_Jack 30,198]

"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."

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

and love the occasional Torps

[Dinosaur Rover 197]

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

[jnrmac 20,097]

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.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

His first half was pretty poor but his second half was much better (opposite to McDonald), however he seems to have put weight on during the year which is rare to see.

[pitmaster 3,561]

Very solid citizen.

[beelzebub 23,379]

contract hangover perhaps.

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

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,396]

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.

[dee-tox 4,835]

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.

[poita 3,902]

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.

[Sir Why You Little 37,046]

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

[Chook 15,013]

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.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

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.

[olisik 4,060]

CHAMPION OF THE CLUB. 5 year contract please

[Biffen 12,943]

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.

We all have our favourite players, but you're just weird about Dunn.
