Former Saint Jeff Dunne has passed away

Thoughts are with the family

[kosifantutti]

He was a shining light when the team was terrible.

RIP

[HXT]

Twice Best and Fairest and my favourite player when there was not much to cheer about. Virtually no media about him through the years.

[saynta]

Rest in peace mate. Another Saint in heaven.

[shanegrambeau]

Thanks for this.

With Barker he was a star, a quieter one perhaps, but class. As a kid, in my imagination, I assumed he was the guy to carry the candle forward for Wayne Judson. I’m sure he was much more than that.

RIP

RIP
Another great player through the tough years .

[cwrcyn]

In his best season he polled votes in 13 of his 22 games. All single votes. Great back pocket player. He was then moved up the ground and his game wasn't the same. A short but impressive career

8

[cwrcyn]

Started his career wearing 48, I think.

[saintkid]

Sad news. My dad said he was very good in those days when our team was struggling. The bearded No. 8 was very consistent and a dependable back pocket specialist. RIP Jeff.

Sorry - you're right RIP #8.

[Joffa Burns]

I didn't realise or had forgotten he played a game for the Tigers.

Strength & prayers for his family. An honest, hard working servant of St Kilda, a player I admired and thought of when I played and endeavoured to emulate in tough moments. Pure quality!

[Devilhead]

Sad news RIP the bearded wonder

Great memories of watching him hunch his back over and take off ball in hand
