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.

    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...

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
