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"

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
