Lynden Dunn: "I wish I came to the pies 10 years ago"

Get the context he said he loved Melbourne and his comment were not meant to be disrespectful. The 10 years Dunny spent at the Dees coincided when we were simply deplorable. AFL players give a hell of a lot so you can understand why he doesn’t rate his time at the Dees as highly as the Pies. My only knock on Dunn was his over the top celebrations when the Pies knocked the Dees out of the finals race in 2017. Other than that good luck Dunny and hope you get to play more AFL

    Best wishes, Dunny. You did some great things, very often, for the MFC and tried your heart out to improve the team in those days.

    "That's no disrespect to Melbourne" are just words. 

    His OTT celebrations when they knocked us out of the finals in 2017 were full of disdain; its not as if they made it into the 8 instead of us.  Actions speak louder than words!

    I was never a big fan of Dunn anyway, selfish player in my book.  We have been better off without him.

    Pity it took you 8 years to mature out of being a jumper punching inconsistent player who was dropped many times even when we were deplorable.

    I wish you did as well, Lyndell.

    I'm sure pick 15 in 2004 could have been put to much better use.

    I wish we had ' ve picked Mark LeCras. Can't 4 give Dunn 4 his over the top celebration either & now 2 say he wished he had of gone there instead - no need 2 say it very disrespectful. Him & Foulau need 2 shut up.

    Dunn spent years at one of the biggest basket case clubs of all time.  Who could blame him ?

    Although, he's also missing the fact that Collingwood under Buckley wasn't overly pleasant in his first few years, which is why Beams, Shaw and a host of others wanted out.

    He went to Collingwood at arguably the perfect time.

    The MFC of today and moving forward will be very different to the MFC of 5-10 years ago.

    3 years later and we are still wishing him good luck. Like the poster(s) above,  the last memory of Dunn was his over the top celebration becoming an extra kick in the guts to some supporters after our woeful final round performance of 17. 

    We all wish things could be different Dunny at one stage or another.

    If we had only lost 0,1 or 2 games for this season would he have said that? Probably not.

    But we 1- 5 and soon to 1-6 so who can blame him.

    An unnecessary comment but I don’t blame him. He’s a bit of a faux-tough guy and was never going to assist with taking us any further, so who really cares.

    Dunn at Melbourne was mostly concerned about his man only. Rarely left him to intercept. Played the % on his man.

    Maybe he meant the torp as a means to expedite his exit...

    Meh. He’s just a Filth player now. 

    As confirmed by his appalling new bogan ‘dunny-brush’ / mullet haircut. 

    Anyone see that on the broadcast last night?! Shocker

    When I saw you'd quoted me I re-read my post before reading yours and instantly knew what you'd be questioning.

    I can't help you old man.

    I only liked Dunn once he left the club.

    We might have been crap during most of his time here, and he didn't choose to be drafted by us, but he spent much of his time here playing selfish football.

    Maybe he's learnt how to drop that part of his game by moving to Collingwood, and if so then credit to him. Some players just need a different environment to get the best out of themselves.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
