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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
