Lynden Dunn

Featured Replies

Anyone know what is happening with Lynden Dunn? ย Can't seem to crack a game despite VFL form and with Garland going out injured in a week where the coaches made a point to bring in experience.

Did I miss something somewhere or is this just a big D'Land mystery

ย 

I would prefer half a Dunn to a full Oscar Mc Donald!! Anyone else agree??

You have my vote.

Reading between the lines, the coaches don't think he has adapted to the new defensive structures, and they would prefer blood OMac.

I strongly disagree with that though.

didn't look like any of them had adapted to any defensive structure last weekย 

Dunn should be definitely in the back 6ย 

ย 


He's clearly done something they don't like.ย 

absolutely shocked he's not in the team to be honest, i thought for sure they'd want one of Garland or Dunn playing for some experience down back.

lot resting on the shoulders of TMAC and Jettaย 

I watched Dunn against the Saints and he looked so disinterested, especially when the opposition was running and spreading all over the place.

I know, he wasn't the only one on the day, but is he the last of the 'old culture'?

Maybe he told the coaches their precious diamond defence/hand opposition goals set up doesn't work. They didn't wanna hear it now he finds himself stuck at Casey.

he is very much a one on one defender so this zone thing would waste his skill set

I was surprised he was booted from the leadership group after being vice captain last season

I wonder if this is Goodwin's call, given Roos comment about needing more experience, yet we see them putting more games into Oscar (who i think will become a player).

Move that hurts now, but could be very beneficial going forward.


Mind boggling..ย 

How the hell do we just pretend to rest our backline experience on Tom McDonald who has been pathetic this year. So dam obvious that with Garland out we need at least another experienced defender.ย

Tom has not been pathetic this season, he's been nowhere near as bad as some like to make out.

I think I would prefer a Dion, to either !

I think Lyndon & Frank will be looking elsewhere at end of 2016?

What's changed off field in that timeframe?

Prefer Dunn to Garland at all times , and prefer him to Frost at this time .

Possibly trying to make sure both Mac's are at the club next year


Im staggered that O Mcd is getting games in front of Dunn. I dont even know who they plan Oscar on. Hawthorn arent exactly the tallest forward line in the league. He will most likely be matched on gunston or bruest who will be stronger, faster and smarter than him.

We might as well hand over 4 goals to hawthorn before the game even starts.ย

Scicily.

Tom on Gunston & Frost the resting McEvoy or Ceglar.

I think it is clear the team is being picked with a view to next year and that's why the priority is to get games into O Mac, Frost, Hunt etc. Obviously Grimes and Dunn are gone. Can't argue with that thinkingย 

Win / Loss Ratio doesn't cut it Chook??

Makes sense but I hope we don't have to put up with an insipid 2nd half of season and we have to wait a long time for fruit to bear.ย 


I think they see Oscar and Dunn on similar levels at this point.

If Oscar doesn't grow in confidence and put in some good performances over the next couple of games I think Dunn will slot straight back in.

But for the time being the coaches want to blood a young player and obviously don't think the difference between the two of them is large enough to stick with Dunny

Not necessarily - but it's not as if we are leaving out guns to give these guys experience.

We are going to lose more games in the second half of the year without Dunn? I've loved his persistence, been a great journeyman when you consider the fate of Matty Bate which seems an eternity ago. Most of us thought he was done (?) way back then but he proved us wrong again and again. But to suggest he is so critical to our wins is plain wrong. O Mac is a young, tall (our tallest) defender who will only come on with time and persistence. We had the same conversations about his brother who despite many comments on her remains one the better key defenders in the game.

ย 

There is never a perfect time to blood kids like him and now is as good as any.

ย 

Wonder if Dunn has any trade value? Gut says no but mature key defenders are sought after. Wouldn't be shocked if he found another home somehow if he departs at the end of the year

Not sure he'd have much if any trade value, but perhaps he might appeal to a side in contention looking to bolster it's defensive stocks, i reckon the Doggies wouldn't mind him.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
