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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
