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!!!

I liked the vision of him. Good disposal but is he slow?

He is.

He's maybe not as bad as I've made out, but he's bloody Brock McLean reincarnate.

No thankyou.

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.

Any chance at all he could sneak down to pick 40?

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.

I don't remember him moving and kicking so similarly to Matty Bate. He seems to have more nous though.

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.

Seriously? Salem vs Dunstan... if we had taken dunstan at pick 9 demonland would have gone into meltdown.

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, :)

f the future. We been drafting for the future for 7 years. lets draft for now for once.

we have drafted for now, - vince cross, tyson, michie, georgiou...

but you have to have a balanced focus for now & the future. we've done that.

we were light on for talls going in tonight.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
