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.

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
