Please yourselves. He was a good servant of the club and pulled on the jumper 165 times in difficult days when it wasn’t easy to front up week in, week out playing for a team that was getting flogged. 

Since crossing over to the Pies, he’s had a lot of bad luck with injury and it would be an absolute tragedy if he didn’t get to 200 games (he has 2 to go). He struggled yesterday - he had a few mates - but with Mihocek and Reid going down, he might be lucky. I’ll be watching the game and cheering him on (but not his team).

He's not the only Collingwood player in that category. You've got to wonder about their player management and fitness team. For a club that seems to have endless financial resources (or should), have the list seems to spend half the season on the injury list and then they usually use this as an excuse for their performance.

I think 'the love' usually comes down to the circumstances under which a player left.

As Whispering Jack said, he stood tall during some very challenging years (under five different coaches), he was a Vice Captain of the club, he wasn't overly blessed with talent, but made the best of what he had most importantly in my book, he was moved on by the club, not because he wanted to go.

He, along with players like Watts and Trengove, will hold a special place in people in people's hearts because they loved the club and didn't want to leave.  The same affection isn't really afforded to Scully, Frawley, Howe, etc.

Not saying that you and everyone else needs to like Dunn, but I have a lot of time for him and wish him all the best.

Looking at the game, watched a replay of it tonight.

Dunn is done.

Great effort to get back, depth now and gone at the end of the season.

Has had a good career.
