David Dunbar

Featured Replies

Melbourne's new forward scout David Dunbar is in the news after being ejected twice from Hawthorn training sessions. The Sunday Age reports that Dunbar, who has only been in the job for a couple of weeks, clashed heatedly with Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson when Dunbar refused an invitation to leave one of his sessions.

The Hawks must be worried. They already have three players out suspended for the Rd 1 game and now Campbell Brown could also miss after an incdent in last night's Nab Cup game v Carlton.

Brown will not miss over that incident.

I think he will. He has got form and his eyes were not on the ball.

He tucked himself up to hit him under the armpit with his full body.

I thought Kruezer did well to get up. No wonder he missed his shot at goal.

Unfortunately Hawthorn's list is long and strong atm.

does anyone know where that hawks training was held? am curious also

cheers


At the rate they're going, Hawthorn will be lucky to have enough players to make a team for Rd 1. Crawford, Lewis and Hodge already rubbed out, and 3 more reported last night (though admittedly Franklin only copped a wrestling charge).

I agree.

Brown should miss - he clearly attacked the player and not the ball

Prove that Bailey is only worried about Round 1 at this stage ;)

No wonder we're having closed training sessions at the moment.

More Dunbar stuff in the Age:-

Demon's super spy goes incognito

The tale of Melbourne's new super spy and his running battle with Hawthorn has taken another twist this week.

Pssst told you last Sunday that Demons opposition analyst David Dunbar clashed heatedly with coach Alastair Clarkson ahead of the clubs' round-one meeting, and had been ejected from Waverly Park twice.

This week, Dubar watched training in disguise - dressed as a construction worker, in full workman attire. He watched for an hour before being spotted and ejected, for the third time.


What a legend!

Gotta love that persistence!

Love the ingenuity! Good to see the devotion to duty. Well done Dunbar. However I don't expect him to dress up as a Hawthorn supporter to watch them. That would be asking too much of the poor bloke. No one gets paid that much.

isn't this one of the best things i have heard in the last couple of weeks...talk about commitment, we need this guy to give insperational talks to our senior plays...thats fantastic! it shows how seriously DB and the crew are taking their jobs!!!

Boo ya.

Let's try and come up with some disguises for DD.

How about a blonde wig, shaved legs, fake tan and botox?

He'll be fine they will just think it's Dermie.


In breaking news, Melbourne forward scout David Dunbar has been ejected from hawthorn training for a fourth time. This time he was disguised as a biker, complete with leather hat and handlebar moustache. Word has it that an Indian costume was found in the trunk of his car.

Well he is the Innovations Coach and he is being quite innovative.....

I beleive he is also trialing clever tree disguise and has purchased a Ronald McDonald outfit...

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.
