Extensive article about Dunny in today’s Age (Thursday)

When Lynden Dunn told Nathan Buckley in early January that his objective was to play on Anzac Day the coach raised his eyebrows. "He looked at me like I was crazy and there was no chance that would be even happening considering I wasn't on the list."

Dunn not done as belief remains high

    How's his luck? Holds the record among current players for most games without playing in a final. Gets to that number (196 games) and then has two knee reconstructions preventing him from breaking that record and reaching 200 games. Starts a career as an assistant coach with the Collingwood AFLW team only to find that most, if not all, assistant coaches lose their jobs because of the Covid-19 downturn.

    I confess to having not been a fan of his when he played with us, but since he left I've grown to appreciate his attitude to life. If anyone in the footy world deserves a break, it's him.

    It's a lesser known Royal Childrens' Hospital fundraiser under the guise 'Mullets for the Kids.' Lynden Dunne and the other advocate/patron Bailey Smith from the Western Bulldogs, get sponsored for growing mullets. I think Smith was supposed to shave his off late last year (he'd probably raise much more money to get rid of it) but perhaps he's too attached.

    Check out the website/FB page for some seriously unfortunate do's.

    Thanks for the info Rog.  That would explain the length at the back, but nothing excuses that shaved area above his ear!

    i was a massive fan - not so much for his football, which was patchy at best, but cos he was a genuinely great guy

    I think we all will be writing off this year. It also appears to me that you should follow another team seeing the Dees are a basket case in your eyes.

    I'm now expecting you to advise which player has had his name mis-spelt the most different ways.

    Yes we're all quite aware of how disappointing we've been since 1964 (I've been a supporter since 1960 ) . But when I read certain posts that are just constant negativity I scratch my head and think, is this person a MFC supporter or just a MFC detractor ?

    Well, I wore a jumper of sorts and have associations with the club and players!

    Since 64 GARBAGE... except. for glimmers of HOPE ! and plenty of time to get it right!!!

    Or am I being  "Obtuse"

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
