Recruited from the Saints to fill the understudy role for the club’s strong midfield, Dunstan was rarely called upon to play that role. Was outstanding at Casey and was one of the best on ground in the premiership victory.

 

"The former Saint played just five senior games in his first season with the Demons, but was named Melbourne’s best VFL player for 2022 and was also second in the Casey Demons’ best-and-fairest award. The midfielder had 31 disposals in Casey’s premiership win." - Herald Sun

    Should’ve been utilised in the finals if you believe that we had up to 11 injuries.

    His 38 possession/2 goal VFL final against Sydney should've been rewarded down the track.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if he gets more games next year, we had to teach him our game and de-St Kilda him.

    I’m not a great fan but, like all players, he needs confidence and how could anyone playing at St Kilda have any.

    Luke had a great year at Casey and had a big impact in the Casey GF, hopefully Luke will get more game time next year. We really must reward effort and he will be fitter and tougher next year.!!

    Deserving of more games than he got, he performed well in the few he was given. Hard at it, four quarter effort. Kicking, particularly distance, better than suggested around here. Gets in good places and not intimidated by physical contact. I think he is important in our current profile.

    Agree with the general consensus here. If his performance at the VFL Grand Final  exemplifies his courage, ability and intent. Given appropriate opportunity Luke is on the cusp of becoming a valued member of the senior team. 
     

    As others have already noted his ball skills on a wet slippery surface were terrific as was his attack on the ball. Kicked a memorable check side goal at pace, from tight in the forward pocket in the third quarter at the Sydney Road end.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
