FAREWELL LYNDEN DUNN

A big move to take his family to Qld but I hope it works out for him as he will be a regular 22 for them.  With Hibberd, Melksham and maybe Lumumba coming in, giving us lots of depth, it will be unlikely he will play seniors.

    at least worth pick 48 from the Lions.

    Lynden Dunn is a great bloke with plenty of ability.  Heart and soul around the club.

    He remains AFL standard and would walk into the Lions best 18.  

    Unlucky that o.mcd has been allowed to "develop" in the firsts in 2016. Dunn made one mistake and was dropped never to reappear.

    Not sure what their second round pick is, but it might end up being Dunn and our second rounder for their second rounder, which we could then on trade for Hibberd.  Yes, I know, we shouldn't give the Bombers that sort of pick as our current one should be enough, but if we want to get it over the line quickly then they might look at doing something like that.

    I'd be happy for Dunny to move on and I think Brisbane would be a good spot for him.  I still think he has at least 2-3 years left in him.

    As opposed to playing in the VFL?

    Being paid 300k to play footy and live in Queensland for a couple of years

    Such a tragedy

    Point taken. But the Bears are going nowhere...

    True, but neither is his career with us.  An opportunity to play AFL again and lead their backline, while living it up in QLD on decent money, will be a good way to finish his career.  He is clearly nothing more than depth with us, and I think it would be good to see him getting that opportunity elsewhere.

    I'd be asking for their second round pick straight up.

    Why would they give that up for a bloke who has played 4 senior games this season, and hasn't missed those games because of injury?  It's not as if he was best 22 this year and went down with a serious injury which forced him to miss most of the year.

    I can see them laughing in our faces while they go after other key backs that are on their radar.

    If Chris Fagan gets the brisbane job then you can just about pencil Dunny to the Lions.

    Good luck to him. Another of the old crew gone.

    First round pick, 150-odd games, still fit. He brings more to the table than a lot of second round picks ever do.

    But can he still play good, consistent footy at AFL level?  The Lions may take that gamble, but he was passed by a couple of kids this year.  That doesn't necessarily reflect on him very well.

    But, we shall see what happens.  I'd be stoked to get a second rounder out of them, but I doubt that will happen.  Third round pick is what I think it will end up being.

    Brisbane's current picks: 2,20,24,48,55.....

    Possible trades:

    Dunn for 48 straight swap  - Think he's worth a little more than that. 

    Dunn and Mitchie/Terlich for 24.

    Dunn and 45 for 24.

    I agree. But anyone but The Bears.  

    Lynden has already been part of 186

    It is a sad end regardless of the cash incentive.

    No, but the strong money is on Chris Fagan at the minute.

    Think Dunn & 26 for Picks 24 & 48 is more realistic.

    Agree. Reminds me of the Bailey era when we stamped the papers of certain players and played kids who turned out to be rubbish.

    Goodwin should take a leaf out of the Beveridge coaching manual and allow the players to play to their strengths. Dunn has far more ability than O. Mac and Frost. Pick 48 for him is a waste.

    He is a keeper for me and let's work on where we can best use him. Otherwise work on an offer you can't refuse scenario.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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 Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"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 Collingwood’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.

    • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
