Career

Dunn was selected as Melbourne's second pick and 15th overall in the 2004 AFL Draft. 2005 was a learning year for Dunn who developed well with Melbourne's VFL affiliate team, Sandringham. The young forward made significant progress in 2006, increasing his body size, and worked hard to break into the senior lineup for his debut in round 6, a tightly fought victory over the Cats. Dunn played eleven games at senior level, kicking 13 goals and showed promising signs that he will be a player of the future for the Demons. He worked hard on his body over the pre-season and after suffering a fractured cheekbone in the VFL, Dunn was able to return to the senior team in round 4, 2007, kicking three goals in a heavy loss to the Dockers. He played 12 games that season. Dunn was embroiled in controversy in 2008 when he was reported twice within a minute for striking Brent Harvey - incidents for which he escaped from the tribunal with merely a reprimand. In

In October 2019, Dunn was delisted by Collingwood, with the club leaving the option of them considering him in the rookie draft if he is still without a club. In March 2020, Collingwood used their final list spot to sign Dunn on a one-year rookie deal. In October 2020, Dunn retired from football, after kicking 99 goals in 198 games.
