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: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
