Dunn is a Gun!

I think Lynden Dunn has as much potential as just about any of our young players on our list.

Super competetive, smart, good hands and decision making in close, can play a defensive role as well as go foward and kick a goal.

He just needs to improve his consistency throughout the four quarters of a game, as he tends to go a little missing at the moment, but i predict he on the bubble of becoming one of our best players in the next 2-3 years.

I also believe he has leadership material written all over him, and don't think it would be a stretch to say he could be captian or vice -captain somewhere down the line.

    Absolutely.

    Dunn still needs to bulk up a bit but has a big future ahead of him :)

    Dunn gave away way too many free kicks yesterday. He's obviously still getting used to the "wear him like a glove" aspect as it's pretty new to him. If he can play tight without being all over the bloke then he has a big future.

    interesting point. i noticed similar things, however i thought the umpires were way too aware of dunn yesterday. how many times are mclean, bruce and trapper help and pushed around packs without getting a free? how many times is neitz dragged to the ground allowing him to only get one hand up for the mark without getting a free. the umpires paid dunn too much attention yesterday for my liking...

    however, if dunn is going to play that role, he needs to learn how to do it and look subtle. once you draw attention to it, you need to back off for a bit...

    regarding dunn as a player, he seems really footy smart, he has all the athletic abilities, so its up to him what he becomes. i look forward to watching his development, but yes he could be a very good player eventually...

    If he could improve his amrking overhead and specifically contested marking then he could be a very good forward and bloody hard to match up on because of his agility. At this stage I think he's been generally overrated by demon fans but he still has time to develop, he's still learning the game so there is hope.

    Ummm how did they go off topic?

    I would have to agree, like most of us that Dunn needs a bit more development and he will become one of our "needed" players.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
