I certainly hope and expect that you are right, but I am sure Luke Dunstan came across with the same thoughts.  

Um I'm not so sure. Breaking into a Premiership side is one thing BUT coming off an underwhelming season for your Club  having coaching and personal issues are all major career points, however there are vacancies in our AFL best 23 that weren't there last season ( until after Round11).

Thats the way many supporters view it now but do the FD, Selection Cttee plus Simon see a need for replacing and tweaking our Brest team, by updating the list on game day.

Our trade of Hunt Weid and Toby while not all our doing does indicate that some extra players are needed on our list.

I believe if given a chance some of the following are possible ( not all of them together) in Round1 vs the Dogs.

Grundy Hunter JVR Bowey Chandler Schache Tmac  Joel Smith Dunstan JJ, Tommo if injuries and form warrant consideration. 

Others like TajW, Howes, Laurie and our 2022 and this season recruits are possibles for down the track later in season on good form or fast track development above expectations. 

In essence no one should be ruled in or out of the best 23 except say the best 17/18 from last year. 

This  may not happen but I believe if we are to challenge Geelong seriously we need sbout 5/6 improvements to our team in the Finals including our fitness!

Hunter is a gut running freak. Suits us defensively as much moving forward. His disposals are not that damaging. Just like Langdon before he came to us, disposal was the problem. Hopefully the coaches can replicate Langdon with Hunter and let him improve this area. 
 

I think Hunter compliments our game plan, Langdon and will give opposition headaches as they can’t tag both wings. 
 

Two genuine wingers… Bring it on. 

Disposal is a problem???? Get real, his disposals are mainly "elite"

Speak to Doggy fans about that one Picket.

Agree with you Picket F That's probably the MAIN reason we went for him at the death of trading. Knew his troubles personal and Coach wise and we needed another class disposer yo add to Bowey and Salem  for our forwards. JT etc all view LH as an upgrade in style for us to Match Lingers on the other wing and to sort out Gus JJ and our half backs inc Riv once training etc starts.

Hunter has been a higher calibre player for most of his career, and may be better suited to our side. I highly doubt Dunstan thought he'd slot into a premiership team as a regular with Clarry, Viney and Trac as inside mids

Dunstan was quoted a number of times recognising that it would not be a walk up start into a star studded Premiership midfield.


Over at the Saints circus, the coaches carousel has another merry-go-round at the Linton Street roundabout. Rats is gone but Ross returns. At the end of the coup, one imagines Ross scratchily wondering where is Luke? During the meet and greet the new guy. Or was that grownup Halloween for the the whole troop?

"Luke's at Batman Avenue Boss" some newly appointed factotum whispers in his ear. The penny has dropped as the cobwebs momentarily clear. The Saints already deficient list, stuck between the gas gone out of the moneyball party balloon and yet another painful rebuild (short term according the recent saints members' media spin) is definitely more deficient now.

If Goody's 2023 new year's resolution is to truly give those showing consistent form at Casey a fair go, Luke Dunstan deserves a shot. Maybe the new flexibility for that extra spot on the pine will provide him due opportunity.

He has ripped us with his disposal qualities in the past.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
