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 see your charm has not returned

"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. 

Just me from the outside, but I reckon Melky has him well covered in the me me me stakes.

i always thought that Dunny was a great servant of the club and that he tried really hard. 

he was probably held back a bit by us when we were at the depths. 

as many have already said, his ott celebrations in round 23 2017 [censored] me off as the game really did not help them out in any way. 

i wish him all the best for the future.

Smart bloke, would have won a flag.

Like when Green could have gone to the Pies, stayed and spent the next three years as a scapegoat.

Before roos came dunn had done not much, he played his best football under Roos. He would not have been good enough to play in the pies sides, of 2009 to 2011. 10 year ago he would have not been traded but delisted, and no club would have picked him up, because back then players were less likely to get a second chance. if's and but's and I could've I would 've been a champion, but your not a-s-s wipe.

Pies are due for a big fall in the upcoming years. He can say what he likes, but a partial rebuild is on the cards for the pies. Second oldest list in the comp and many of those older heads are still crucial pieces to their line up. Dunn will no doubt be sacrificed at seasons end for list balance.

And Melky has Dunn well covered for skill and workrate.

Collingwood have conjured a really good playing culture out of a FIGJAM coach who took years and a lot of talent to get a good game plan in place and a bunch of pretty unusual or even rough characters as players.

I'm not sure they've got a player with an IQ above 100 (maybe Tom Phillips) but they've got some brilliant footballers and they all work exceptionally hard.

Bad tattoos, Brodie/Brody's, Taylor's, Dayne's, Brayden's, Jaidyn's, Roughead's and rough heads and keeping them all together some how is the way to build a mean football side. Somehow Bucks have kept them all mostly working together (lost one in a drug ban).

Throw in some great facilities and off field support and I'm not surprised Dunny loves it there. 

I miss what he could've been and was for us for a brief period - one heck of a key defender with a sweet long kick.

I don't miss the fat bloke who was in such poor shape that Oscar McDonald took his job. Nor do I miss the decade of contract year Dunn where he'd rally from his career death bed to reinvent himself and play well just before securing another 2 year deal.

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. 

I remember when he gave Chapman a cheap jab to the ribcage and near peed his pants when Chapman retaliated.

Was an occasionally adequate player for us, with significant deficiencies. Is somewhat more often adequate at the Pies, with his deficiencies better controlled.

But honestly, I'd care more about how Colin Garland feels about the club.

Edit: Point of Trivia, even though we basically gained nothing in the 'trade' of Dunn to Collingwood, the player we now have instead of him is Mitch Hannan. So, I think we've come out ahead anyway.

Dunny was one of my favourites and played his best games Deep in the back line.  Roos couldn't see him in our future look may it be right or wrong. That goes for other clubs that have fringe players and move on because of not being regulars.

However some move on and become regulars and play good footy for the rest of their careers others you never here of again.

Dunny served his purpose at our club when needed and if only you were more disciplined and more of a leader as you turned out at Coll/wood you might have been a regular and a leader in time.  Hope things go well down the track for you. 

Might come back as an assistant  one day who knows?

It's not nice to hear it, but who could fault the sentiment based on our last 10 years?
Don't sweat the small stuff; this is small stuff.

The three of Frawley, Dunne and Howe were good mates and in private conversations amongst themselves I'm sure they worked out the best way to advance their careers was at another club.

Good, solid, loyal players stay and work out how to improve their team or suffer for the cause. 

I include May in that bracket along with Lynch at Richmond and over half the Hawthorn team. Scully is the ultimate mercenary and well hated by most of the football public.

Pendlebury is the only player over 30 who is a regular, and he could play for another 5 years. Treloar, Adams, , Crisp, Grundy, Hoskin-Elliott, De Goey, Phillips, Moore, Langdon, Stephenson, Maynard all 25 or under at start of year.

Collingwood will be contending for at least the next five years.

Agree,

Anyone who thinks otherwise are kidding themselves. They are a big club and will continue to attract high quality players along the way.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
