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.

    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...

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
