Luke Dunstan

I wouldn't pretend to know much about this crop but this guy looks solid and hard to knock over. A well rounded player and of the type Roos will like.

Depends on whether the guys are happy that we have collected enough grunt.

Dunstan is like Mitchell, Hodge, Hannebery, Bartel. All considered slow but somehow they always seem to get the footy. Dunstan is in the mix at pick 9 but I prefer Freeman, Lennon & Bontempelli.

Dunstan is tough, skilled, tackles and not quick but not slow. He lacks burst pace but wins the footy. Good mates with Jimmy Toumpas. Sometimes the footballers get overlooked for the athletes!!!

Been pumping his tyers up all year but jeez i would love him in our side. Absolute solid unit in the same mould as Wines. Whoever drafts him will be a massive steal and should atleast play 16 games next year.

I was less keen having seen the video, but yeah, it's not enough to go on. You can certainly see a really solid player, but with a top 10 pick you'd hope for the chance at a star, but I see nothing elite in his game to elevate himself to that category.

Dear All. Read these posts ... pick 18 St.kilda gets Luke Dunstan.

We called it. Mature body. Gets the footy. Uses it well. Likes it tough.

(slow ... humbug).

Christian Salem might need a year in the gym to even be ready for AFL.

Give it a rest!

Salem was picked for our future. Dunstan is ready now, but hasn't the upside of Salem, IMO

today our tall structure was off. we need to get our experienced talls into the game.

Inside hardness is not what we lacked today, but polished foot disposal. Even though we lost the clearances, our biggest problem was overuse of the handball and not long and direct football.

We were so handball happy, we could have done with a kick first, kick second mindset player in the team tonight. A ready Salem would have helped a fair bit tonight with his good kicking skills.

Go return into the ground and have a rest Norm, :)

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
