Loved Dunny, even amid the novelty free kicks he would give out trying to be the hard man. Always gave his all in a basketcase of a team. Good to see him enjoy the good times with the rest of us.

I mean, of course Dunny jumps on the bandwagon when we're good again.

He should have been reminded of these comment back in 2019..

Hindsight is a wonderful thing Daz. 

Wish I had it. 

I remember that DL posters would regularly offer up "Dunn and Bate" as trade bait (pun intended).

I know someone in his family, and was told he loves the Dees.

OK, that was some years back when still playing for us, but do you think these days Brereton supports Hawthorn or Collingwood when they play.

Same situation.

F**k Dunn.

I’ll never forget how happy he was when the Pies beat the Dees a few years back and it meant we missed finals. Meant nothing for the Pies. He was dancing around like he just won the GF.

All it showed was his lack of class and lack of appreciation for the club who drafted him.

[censored] him.

I am sure Lynden is part of the “Balls” WhatsApp group

He was playing in that game. 

I'm going to give him a pass on that one even though it hurt at the time.

Wouldn't you allow him to support both clubs?

Very different character to Luke Ball and the way he celebrated after Coll beat St Kilda

I remember Brendan Goddard in his first game vs St Kilda as a Bomber. Essendon won convincingly and he was crying during a post-match on-field interview. He felt so bad. I found it endearing and decided I liked him, but that was fleeting: I remembered who he currently played for and instantly went back to hating him. Nothing personal, just comes with the territory. 😁

He was drafted at pick number 15. It's not like we plucked him from obscurity and were the only club who would have drafted him.

I would argue that if any other club drafted him instead of the dees that he would have had a much better development pathway. He was drafted as a key forward and we had him playing as a hard tagger in the midfield. How many head coaches did he have during that time? The best ones were Danniher who left after 2 years and Roos who stopped playing him in favour of developing OMac.

Despite all this he loves the club.

 

Unfairly shafted by Roos, I heard it was because he liked to drop the odd torpedo into the centre of the game.

The club didn't show too much appreciation when they bundled him out the door. Loyalty cuts both ways

Sounds like a very dodgy legal firm. In Queanbeyan, we have Greeny and Sweany. No joke. 

Saw Dunny, with his kid, at the Tigers game earlier this year, barracking for the Dees and giving Tigers supporters the big send off as they left early. 

One of my friends was his sponsor when he was at the dees and he tells me he was a really good guy, I think he’s genuine in his support for us. 

Still curious as to why he went from the leadership group, holding down full back admirably, and playing almost every game to only 4 games in 2016 before seemingly pushed out. Seems weren't given all the information. Also seemed very unfair

And maybe many here would like to see that again, very occasionally 🙄, replacing the long kick to a pack on the left wing.
