Great to see that Luke has at least one good friend in Melbourne already.

A whole lot of that.

I always say this too...

Crazy good colours or just bias?

Probably both.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Shame it's overshadowed by some other lesser colours - but our first taste of Luke in a Saints top!

Bargains

#18 St Kilda - Luke Dunstan
#30 North Melbourne - Trent Dumont
#33 Brisbane - Tom Cutler

These were the main two that stuck out to me, for different reasons. I considered Dunstan one of the premier inside midfielders, and a better player than many of those drafted ahead of him. Dumont was another favourite of mine, and I had in the 10-20 range. To get him at #30 is a bargain in every sense of the word, and I expect him to walk into the North best 22. And Cutler was one I'd been talking up a bit, offers a lot of versatility and should see early action.

I like hearing KM/Footy Tragic rate Acres as one of the best mids in the draft. And Dunstan rated very highly by Chris.

You blokes have a ripper in Dunstan. He's your classic footballers footballer as I like to say. What you see is what you get. One of my favourite players from the draft and prob my favourite from SA. Strong body, will be built like a beast of a mid when mature much in the body shape of Scott Thompson from the crows. He plays a similar style of footy. Excellent inside with clearance work, hands in tight and using his strength. Not quick, and not much of a right footer but his left foot can be a big kick when he gets it right. Otherwise footskills are average to solid. Has a huge handball. Big heaving thumps to players to advantage is a speciality of his, has powerful arms and shoulders. Will rack up the footy and will kick goals from the midfield. The sort who when mature will get 30+ regularly. Not a flashy dynamite type, not an athlete, just a good solid footballer. Mature head, if he doesn't captain or vice captain an AFL club in his time, I will be very very surprised. He won't be the best player in the AFL or even necessarily at the club but will always be the sort people respect.

In the 'Lenny Hayes' style then?

Lenny has skills as well

Thats what i thought as well.

 

[Darkhour]

fingers crossed .. absolute gun hayes is and my fave since Hammer Hamill

 

[Thunderstruck]

Be pushing it to be as good as Lenny Hayes has been!! but he has similar attributes. Perhaps not as inspirational but no doubt will make a name for himself all the same.

NAB AFL Draft Countdown Meet Luke Dunstan

I know a lot of people have already said it, but this screams leader.

 

[Hammers_Saints]

Easily the best spoken of the 3. Quirky little thing but was interested as to how he listed a defensive player like Von Miller as a guy he'd like to see prepare instead of a guy like Peyton Manning who is the household name at the Broncos. Really looking forward to this kid though, seems ready to play.

 

[Smoke_Me_AKipper]

Newnes and Dunstan - headlining our leadership group in years to come!! Looks like our club will be in safe hands in the future....

 

[Nutsngum]

Yeah, very well spoken guy.

Interesting how he will go with a sponsor family, should be earning more then enough to get a place without issue.

Don't count out Billy Longer captain of his former club also Vic Metro i think.

I like Newnes , but he needs to get better at footy before we can even assume he's a 50 game player, but he was better in 2013 than 2012 so hopefully he steps up just that bit more..

 

[hayes]

His first quarters were sublime, just couldn't sustain it for an entire match. Hopefully he goes on with it.

Did I miss a leap year or something????
