Solid player who was unlucky not to get a few more senior games with us. An absolute beast at VFL level!

 

More turnovers than a Danish bakery at the top level

Back to Back VFL team of the year and won a flag with Casey. Unlucky a little bit with selection and sad to go out with an injury. 


Very solid contributor at VFL level that helped Casey to the highest level in 2022.

Deserved a few more windows of opportunity at the top end in 23 imho,  even if they ended up fleating.

Thanks for your amazing service Luke and so many fabulous memories watching Casey win a stack of games plus the biggest of all at Princes Park last year.

All the best with the post game side of life.

How did you go at the top level?

Is that really a necessary comment? 
The guy was on an AFL list for a decade. He won countless VFL awards too. He wasn’t the best player to ever pull on the jumper, but he gave it his all and set a great example for the younger players at Casey. 
 

I wish him all the best in the future. 

 

If he hadn’t been injured, I’m sure he would have done better than JJ on Friday……..though he wouldn’t have been selected, like Grundy.

Poor form in an attempt to be funny!

Dunstan played his first game for St Kilda against Melbourne in Round 1, 2014. He was awarded the AFL Rising Star nomination for his performance.

Dunstan became an integral part of St Kilda's midfield over the course of 2014 before bowing out after round 19 for shoulder surgery. Following his last game in round 23, St Kilda icon and Dunstan's mentor Lenny Hayes handed his number 7 guernsey over to Dunstan. Soon afterwards, Dunstan signed a contract extension, keeping him at the Saints until 2017.

Dunstan turned his back on a potential move home to South Australia after playing an important role in the Saints' climb to ninth in 2016. The 22-year-old averaged 17 disposals from 18 games in 2016, before being forced to undergo his second shoulder reconstruction in three years – but this time to his opposite (left) shoulder.

In 2017, Dunstan signed a two-year contract extension with St Kilda to remain at the club until the end of 2019.

Dunstan scored 11 votes in the Brownlow in 2021 to be St Kilda’s second highest vote getter behind Jack Steele.

In 2022 he came to the Demons, and we were fortunate to have him. You know the rest!

It's a tough game and Dunstan has not been lucky. Never once played an uninterrupted season.

Congratulations on 121 games, and all the best for the future.

Well spoken Jaded. Poor form by ucanchoose.


another addition to the go out on your own terms rather than being delisted brigade, but in all honesty couldn't have been more unlucky with his injury. i have no doubt there was a '24 contract there for him without it and he probably could have snagged another year or two after that as well, afl is a brutal sport and industry and this guys luck just ran out. still 121 games at the top level isn't half bad on the resume at all

Luke definitely could have and probably should have played many more games for the club than he did, but he never stopped working his backside off at Casey. He deserved much better than finishing his career with a serious knee injury in the VFL. Thanks Luke, and all the best for the future.

Our midfield depth is non existent if we lose Dunstan, Harmes and Jordon. Hopefully there is a plan to fix this glaring issue over the next couple of months, rather than wasting draft picks on more midget forwards.

Sad way to finish career, thought he would have got the call up to senior side near the end there if it weren't for injury.  Thanks Luke, wished we'd seen more of you.

Thanks for your efforts Luke Dunstan, what a terrible way to end your career with an ACL. We were fortunate to have you on our list in 2022 for the Casey finals series and premiership and congratulations for making the VFL team of the year two years in a row. Good luck with the future Luke.❤️💙💕

Talked to him earlier this year, and back then there was a definite sense he was ready for the next stage of life. It's got to be hard to be not quite there continually. 

Thanks Luke


All the best Luke with whatever the next chapter is in life. It's all ahead of you 🙂

  • 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

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
