Poor bloke. That's probably curtains on his career.

 

poor bloke. only wish good things for Dunny


Bad luck for him.  Collingwood getting overconfident with knees maybe because Goldsack came back so quickly?  Happy for Lever to take 12 months to get back.  Even 13 months if needed

 

Devastated for him! Really bad luck. 

Wish him all the best. 

 

(Also this is why you never rush knees. Lever can take another 4 months if it means he never does it again!)


Have a real soft spot for him and wish him all the best. I remember my son coming across him at various venues and unlike many of his teammates at the time who were very aloof he was always friendly and willing to have a chat. A genuinely good guy who deserves better.

Fingers crossed for him. My favourite pie by a street (behind steak and mushroom)

Dunny could play and was reliable but l guess that our FD thought he wasn't good enough to fit into the side. However in a short space of time became a fixture in the backline for C/wood reliable and a was respected as a person and player and in time was voted in their Leadership group.

Devastated for what seems like the end of the road of his playing career. Loved him at Melbourne and didn't have a hate for him playing for the enemy . In the future l wouldn't be surprised if Lynden was picked up as an assistant coach and if there is a chance to get him,  perhaps his leadership values and toughness would rub on the guys.

Dunny in my eyes your a Demon for life. 


At times we get seduced by the glamour of AFL footy, but these incidents highlight the ever present risk of season ending injury, and, perhaps in Lyndon's case, career ending injuries. There is always the risk like the devil lurking in the shadows, of fate intervening to take you down a path that no one wants to take. 

Lyndon's career has been one of persistence and determination. It's good that he finished his playing career (if indeed he has) playing good footy in a good team. 

His development and growth as a person should hold him in good stead for an opportunity in the non-playing footy world. 

He's on 196 games which also happens to be the clubhouse leader for current players not having played a final. (It's also the sixth highest of all time). Nevertheless, should this be the end, he should be proud of the fact that he played so many games. What's most impressive to me, though, is that he appears to have already mapped out what his post-playing career might look like with his experience as an assistant coach in the AFLW.  

Sorry for him. Just as I was sorry to see him leave the Dees. Had a real weapon with that penetrating kicking. Best of luck, Dunny.

Me too PM, whilst he wasn't my favourite demon especially the first half of his career, he got better in our back half and grew something of a reputation.   Happy for him to do well at the Pies, except against us,...

But i am very sorry for this injury to him,  now twice in 12 months. that's very sad. 

Get well, and get strong Dunny.

.

Always loved him. It was just great to yell out Dunnneee!! at the G. Best wishes to him.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
