Pick 23 will do.
Anyone who is categorically not best 22 can't be valued as anything under pick 30 IMO
Pretty much the only reason left, is that he is quite a serviceable backup midfielder. Surplus now for sure, and expensive for a backup that will be playing VFL, but definitely not the worst.why would the saints be wanting this overhang on a player thats not going to be there in 12 months time and probably wont play any games?
Dont agreePretty much the only reason left, is that he is quite a serviceable backup midfielder. Surplus now for sure, and expensive for a backup that will be playing VFL, but definitely not the worst.
But I agreed. I would like to move him on to clear the salary, and make a play for Treloar, the return wouldn’t need to be huge, but that’s just me.
Dont agree
Jack Bytel & Seb Ross are your backups and you cant keep $1 million dollars as backup mids
depends on the club ... Luke would be best 22 in at least 4 other clubs in the comp.. when everyoe is fit at the Saints hes on the outside of the best 22 given what we have brought into the team ..Anyone who is categorically not best 22 can't be valued as anything under pick 30 IMO
Dunstan would not be an integral part of the Crows rebuild, I would offer late 30's early 40's as a take it or leave it offer. The Crows rebuild will take a very long time so would expect Dunstan not be a part of it. Positives for a trade would be to give St Kilda some salary cap relief and and give a bit of experience and guidance for the young Crows.depends on the club ...

we are not talking about a spud of a player the guy has flaws but he still has some very very strong traits

Fallen out of the best 22 with new recruits/replacements coming in?
A misture of all of the Above?
aussierulesrules Mat Mann StCicatriz joop projectv any of you chaps can explain?
The bloke played 100 games in 6 seasons from 2014-19 then only plays one game in 2020.
I find it odd that a guy that played a fair bit of Saints games in the last 5-6 years all of a sudden this year plays 1 game.

Fair enough. Most people like my self have kept being civil in this thread.On topic thanks. Thread bans will be handed out if you continue to derail.
his biggest issue is run and spread. good in close but then when the ball gets on the outside, can't keep up
he's very different to say what you have inside, your mids can compete in there but then run and spread really well
He played R1 this year and got a Brownlow vote in a losing team, but over the covid break I think we came to the conclusion that with the addition of Jones, we had one "mid" too many in R1 (Steele, Hannebery, Ross, Gresham, Jones, Dunstan) and Luke was deemed the weak link and was the one to be dropped when the season resumed several weeks later.
He then played a few weeks in the ressies, before copping a significant injury to his arm, which saw him miss most of the rest of the year.
Came back late in the year, but our team was settled and there was no need for him in there.
biggest issue was injury ...
round one he was one of our better players in one of our worst performances of the year after the covid break he was left out for a faster midfield rotation and then he tore his pectorial by the time he got fit enough to come back we also had Hannas coming back so they went with him over Dunstan ... had Spook not been injured he would have played most weeks while Hannas was out but no such luck for Luke ... the fact we saw glimpses from Bytel and the mids were winning enough contested ball to keep us winning plus now with Crouch i think Luke is surplus to our needs ... but he isnt a bad footballer
Hi Freomaniac
He tore a pectoral muscle in June which sidelined him for a little while and also coincided with the mid-season reboot which was the worst time for him to get injured.
When he was fit again and ready to maybe come back, we didn't really have anyone to drop to put him in for. Byrnes and Bytel got a run in his absence (as Zak Joneswas also out injured at the time). Hanners was also fit then as well and pushing to get into the side.PLAYERCARDSTART3Zak Jones

I don't think he's fallen out of favour, I'm just not sure if he's in our best 22 anymore.
Crouch coming in will push him further down the pecking order I'd reckon.
No current season stats available
I think the thing that will prevent him being traded is that he's on decent coin, and no club will want to take on that contract.So going by all these posts....
He got injured in the middle of the season.
By the time he was fully fit, The saints made finals and couldnt replace any PLayer in the best 22 Because Brett Rattendidnt want to change a winning team. Sounds about right.PLAYERCARDSTARTBrett Ratten

Still I am curious on if the Saints will trade him this season or Keep him for 2021 as a depth player.
He is a Free Agent this time next season. Still think he will play 8-10 games next season to give him some sort of Value.
You cant say he is injury prone as he has played over 100 games. Wonder if Port or crows will look at him next season as he is from Woodville West torrens in the SANFL.
Pick 22 + Dunstan for Pick 23 is reasonable.Pick 23 will do.
