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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
