Spoke to Lynden Dunn after the Sandy game today and he said that he should be ok to play next week which is great news for Sandy and Melbourne..

Just hope he isn't coming back a tad too soon...would rather him sit out another week than risk re injuring himself

Really good news in what has been a pretty ordinary couple of weeks injury-wise (and form wise!).

It's not really the type of injury you can re-injure if you come back too soon.

He will either get the green light from the surgeon, or he won't. If he had a plate inserted in the area (not sure), it should now be stronger than before.

Lets just hope nobody feels the need to elbow him in the face again!

Unfortunately you can re-injure the same area.

Yes, but it's not under the same intense hammering that something like a knee or ankle would be, I think that's Jaded's point.

Unless you have it removed like Daniel Chick's finger or Brendan Fevola's brain. (Fev shouldn't miss too many weeks for concussion )

What do you think Lynden would look like without a jaw?

Yep that's it, glad I make sense to someone

Oh, whats this you say 'Jaded', you think you make sense?

Gee, if he was picked to play against Geelong someone may try to kick him in the face

If dunny is back and rounds into form within a few games (he was in good knick before the elbow to the face) it will put some heat on brad miller.

Dunn provides another option up forward, and with pjs 28 hitouts agasint the cats vfl side miller is under the pump early.

Hopefully millsy can turn it on.

Good to hear that dunny is back in the picture

'PJ's 28 hit-outs' reads better than it was. Unfortunately he's not up to AFL standard at the moment and seems to be treading water since his injury against the Swans. He will not be part of our best potential premiership line-up unless he re-invents himself. He'll never be a key ruckman who is adaptable around the ground unless he imposes himself more on the contest which a man of his size should be able to do.

I saw Isaac Weetra at TBO yesterday and he also said he was pretty confident of coming back from his hamstring problems next weekend.

If anyone can......Dunny can!!!!

I refer Demonlanders to my reply on 21/3 to Jaded's post of 19/3, discussing Lynden's injury. I suggested that this injury usually means missing less than a month. It looks like I was correct.

sensational news.... glad his development wont be stunted too much this season by missing a heap of games.

Looking forward to the return of this promising young forward
