HARD-LUCK Collingwood defender Lynden Dunn has agreed to terms on a deal for next year that should see him bring up his 200th match.

The ever-reliable former Demon's future was never in doubt and he discussed in September being close to securing a fresh contract.

Dunn, 31, was set to play in his first career final until his season ended prematurely when he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in round 15 against Gold Coast.

No active footballer has played more than his 196 games, including 165 with Melbourne, without a post-season match.

The Magpies, sans Dunn and other first-choice backmen at different stages, reached the Grand Final and only a clutch Dom Sheed set shot in the last two minutes denied them a premiership.

Dunn was a critical member of the Collingwood defence and its kick-in specialist before his knee setback.

Only Jeremy Howe had a better one-on-one loss percentage in 2018 among Pies to defend at least 25 contests.

Collingwood also re-signed swingman Darcy Moore for the next two seasons, but the status of two other defenders, Tom Langdon and Tyson Goldsack, is still unconfirmed.

Langdon could yet stay, but is weighing up interest from rival clubs after not receiving an offer from the Magpies until late in the year.
