Search results for query: Luke Dunstan

The difference is he uses the ball well and is actually damaging. Very handy mid to rotate through

Dunstan didn’t improve after his first year. Hunter has. Luke didn’t follow team rules. Hunter does. As mentioned, Hunter hits targets by hand and foot. Comparison is not really relevant.

hunter is much better than dunstan and will be better again next year. Hunter turns half chances into good plays, doesn't have dunstan's unfounded ego either

He tends to kick it where he wants it to go though doesn't he?

A balanced list will sharpen our focus Hunter Clark operating in a phone box...he is elite...if he plays the whole year next year watch out...Hunter takes Crouch's spot.

Hunter clark has, in almost every respect, become luke dunstan mk2. No tank, speed or spread- can only play ~50-60% time on ground. But maddenly gets the pill ~20 times in half a game. Not worth trading at this point- but FMD, can't we send him to the himalayas or something for 6 months to...

Its been a year of transition, Lyon's game plan seems to have had teething problems, but now seems to have clicked with the group. Young players who got out and had a run and a few touches are now realising they can take the game on. Its a concern that we will probably be losing Battle and...

Hayes v. Laverde, no argument here. I'd have played Hayes. He is our future and he knows it, hence his new contract. I'd venture there's a list spot to make a decision about though; Weideman or Baldwin. That's also about our future. Do you think we'll make the finals? Have you watched any VFL...

...a better vfl player than hayes. Every club in the afl knows what weideman offers at afl level. No one knows what hayes does. Have fun in mediocrity, maybe Luke Dunstan, a crouch, Dow or pruess are available this off season. Better vfl players than the bomber youngsters atm right, same...

Looking a bit slow these days, and doesn't seem to have that X-factor he had before serious injuries.

Hunter Clark is just luke dunstan but worse. Discuss

Good clubs don't trade out their good players. Fact is we have and you detailed examples in Dal Santo, Goddard and McEvoy. This set any leadership we had in our club back 10 years and we are still feeling it now. Not sure whether its a good comparison to North Melbourne, they have been...

...go for absolutely shit return. Then a young up and coming (eventual 250 game) ruck in McEvoy for what ended up being Shane Savage & Luke Dunstan. Couple that with the fact we gutted or lost a bunch of other senior experience in Kosi, Blake, Milne, Ray, Gwilt, Dawson, Hayes in the span of 2...

We'd be getting as much out of Luke Dunstan as we are Oliver at the moment.

correct. dunstan's disposal wasn't the issue. he couldn't run and spread, which made him a liability in the midfield. there were no defensive efforts. couldn't zone or transition. once the ball got out, he found it hard to have an impact. which meant he couldn't accumulate and he couldn't...

I thought Dunstan played his only good season in his last year with us. That was handled really badly. He said that he'd rather give up footy than go back to St Kilda. That's not a slight misunderstanding.

...issue, it was when he had a simple kick (or handball) under little pressure that he routinely cooked. I know I inflame you a bit so you usually are the first to disagree to anything I post but just so I'm clear... You're going on record as stating Luke Dunstan was a better kick than Hunter...

I thought ratts ended his career a bit too early. He was worth hanging onto but ratts just hated him. Thought the same about Jack lonie, we should have kept him atleast for depth.

...capability in the doco the AFL commissioned with amazon. but lets park that and go with it was Luke's disposal that was the issue. Luke Dunstan in his final season at the saints averaged 25 disposals. right now Hunter is averaging 17. But here's the kicker. Luke's disposal efficiency was...

...also have the worst midfield in the comp and have for years now. Taking the best 2 mids available at 4 and 5 or whatever it ends up being gives us a good chance of at least one of them working out and giving us talent we desperately need. We could also draft Jack Billins and Luke Dunstan...

Good idea, maybe we can get Luke Dunstan back.

Does he though? Brodie has had one reasonable season but has been stuck in the QAFL/WAFL outside of that. Shiel is not exactly at artist with ball in hand but he makes Brodie look like Luke Dunstan when it comes to hitting a target.

If you have the power to turn back time then surely you might also have the power to present some other options?

If I could turn back time id have chosen Luke Dunstan over Bailey Laurie.

OK if that is true then I forgive Malthouse for what he did to us and that is really saying something .

I'm not getting pissy lol, I just think you're nit-picking at Lalor's deficiencies whilst ignoring Reid's and Langford's

I'm just saying what I see. You could also say he looks like Luke Dunstan. Nothing Lalor has done lately has made me think he looks elite. I didn't rate Walsh as a pick one either and thought guys like Cerra looked vanilla. It's just an observation. He's not who I'd pick with a top 6 pick. I...

I think you're overstating the disposal thing. He's no worse than average.

...see the Dusty in him. I think because he's a big powerful unit and can kick a goal they've compared him. His disposal is a worry for me. He doesn't have the obvious X factor Dusty does. I know kids aren't the finished article but if he doesn't end up being X factor he could be a bit Luke Dunstan.

From the same draft, West Coast drafted Dom Sheed with a draft pick which was compensation for…… Dale Thomas. 😂
