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.

How about that haircut!  Surely he lost a bet.

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.

Give me a break. The amount of bungling, shocking draft selections,inability to develop players..

Oh tell me that the 20 or so points we lost to West Coast 2 weeks ago was an aberration!! We were MILES of the pace.

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"

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
