Luke Dunstan is heavily overrated by those that don't know.

I've watched a bit of him & been thoroughly unimpressed.

Most would be more interested if you articulated why.

Plough finished off his top 10 after stopping at 5 last week:-

1. GWS TOM BOYD (Eastern Ranges)

2. Melbourne JAMES AISH (South Australia)

3. St. Kilda JOSH KELLY (Sandringham Dragons)

4. W Bulldogs MATT SCHARENBERG (South Australia)

5. Gold Coast JACK BILLINGS (Oakleigh Chargers)

6. Brisbane DOM SHEED (Western Australia)

7. West Coast BEN LENNON (Northern Knights)

8. North Melbourne LUKE MCDONALD (Oakleigh Chargers F/S)

9. Carlton LEWIS TAYLOR (Geelong Falcons)

10. GWS MATT CROUCH (North Ballarat)

Josh Kelly would be a risk. Very skinny but top endurance and silky left foot.

Sound like exactly the type of player Melbourne will go after!

if we get a PP we need to draft scharenberg and crouch imo

Dominic Sheed who is a favourite among some has dropped our of Plough's top 10:-

1. GWS TOM BOYD (Eastern Ranges)

2. Melbourne JAMES AISH (South Australia)

3. St. Kilda JOSH KELLY (Sandringham Dragons)

4. W Bulldogs MATT SCHARENBERG (South Australia)

5. Gold Coast JACK BILLINGS (Oakleigh Chargers)

6. Brisbane BEN LENNON (Northern Knights)

7. West Coast LEWIS TAYLOR (Geelong Falcons)

8. North Melbourne LUKE MCDONALD (Oakleigh Chargers F/S)

9. Carlton MATT CROUCH (North Ballarat)

10. GWS DARCY GARDNER (Geelong Falcons)

might as well write melb next to 3 and 9 3 for pp and 9 for watts

Not a bad kick, but a bit of a plodder. Not overly quick or agile.

Not particularly great at reading the play.

Maybe Tapscott with a bigger tank?

I just was a bit disappointed, and can't understand the hype, beyond people being obsessed with not choosing another Morton/Watts marshmallow.

no,but it puts him high on our recruiting list of wants

1. GWS TOM BOYD (Eastern Ranges)

2. Melbourne JAMES AISH (South Australia)

3. St. Kilda JOSH KELLY (Sandringham Dragons)

4. W Bulldogs MATT SCHARENBERG (South Australia)

5. Gold Coast JACK BILLINGS

(Oakleigh Chargers)

6. West Coast BEN LENNON (Northern Knights)

7. North Melbourne LUKE MCDONALD (Oakleigh Chargers F/S)

8. Brisbane DOM SHEED (Western Australia)

9. Carlton MATT CROUCH (North Ballarat)

10. GWS DARCY GARDNER (Geelong Falcons)

Plough stuffed up with his draft order by giving Essendon pick #9. In reality, Adelaide should be at #8 between Brisbane and North Melbourne. The Kangaroos will take Luke McDonald at #9. Unless they trade up, Essendon won't be seen until halfway through the third round. Plough's improver is tall Northern Knight midfielder Marcus Bontempelli who comes in at the expense of Dom Sheed. I actually like the look of him:-

1. GWS TOM BOYD (Eastern Ranges)

2. Melbourne JAMES AISH (South Australia)

3. St. Kilda JOSH KELLY (Sandringham Dragons)

4. W Bulldogs MATT SCHARENBERG (South Australia)

5. Gold Coast JACK BILLINGS

(Oakleigh Chargers)

6. West Coast BEN LENNON (Northern Knights)

7. Brisbane MARCUS BONTEMPELLI (Northern Knights)

8. North Melbourne LUKE MCDONALD (Oakleigh Chargers F/S)

9. Essendon MATT CROUCH (North Ballarat)

10. GWS DARCY GARDNER (Geelong Falcons)

Bontempelli is a cousin of Nick dal Santo and was featured on the TAC Cup: Future Stars programme and looks a gem.

Luke Dunstan will have a better career then aish and kelly. Is a born natural leader, tough as guts, clearence specialist, kicks goals, and would make a impact straight away like Wines has done this year.

Trust me he will make up for not having Wines there mark my words.

I worry that we won't even be in the first round of the draft. Roos is talking up the need for ready made players now I.e. we are offering number 2 for an established mid fielder. If we snaffle a top liner through free agency or we trade a big for a mid or we get a priority pick we may be chance to look at Luke. But I agree, depending on who we get prior to the draft, I go for the leader, hard nut. You don't need dozens of them but you need two or three and once you have them in place you can look at the highly skilled outsiders. Unfortunately we worked the other way, we looked for the fast running, lightly framed outsiders first, sprinkled with some lightly framed tall forwards. The rest will happen trust me. That is history. I hope we have learnt something.

Posted

are the any Ollie Wines/Jack Viney types of players in the draft?


Posted

This is the draft order so far -

1. GWS

2. Melbourne

3. St. Kilda

4. W Bulldogs

5. Gold Coast

6. West Coast

7. Brisbane

8. North Melbourne

9. Collingwood

10. GWS

11. Richmond

Adelaide and Essendon are out of the first two rounds.

Bontempelli is a young Pendles. Smooth mover and is tall. Get on him.

Earlier in the year, I said to keep an eye on a guy called Jake Owen from the cannons. He was highlighted today by Nick Dal Santo as a kid who should win the Morrish Medal ... definitely a great player with a great attitude.

Adelaide have no first or second round picks this year. Confirmed. However, they can trade into those rounds.

And of course, Ess have no 1st or 2nd rounders either.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
