Dunny watch

[The_Dud]

I was going to set this up before the game but ended up running out of time.

I thought since he has been a hotly discussed player this week it would be good to objectively focus on him as the game goes, instead of letting a few incidents cloud his whole night (which could blow up in my face).

First quarter it looks like he’s starting in the middle on a tag. Possessions of note was a brilliant kick to King ending up in a goal, a snap under pressure on his left that just missed, and a kick under pressure on his right (which he clearly doesn’t look comfortable on) that was picked off. I’ll also note that the disposal efficiency from both teams is down for that quarter, and there’s been quite a few turnovers.

Solid start for Dunstan IMO.

[The_Dud]

Highest contested possessions for us that quarter too apparently.

[The_Dud]

Good start to the quarter.

A bit of a don’t argue through some traffic and a kick inside 50.

Intercept mark then quick dish off to Hill who hits up Butler - goal.

[skeptic]

Has been good so far

Seems to play better outside of the Dome IMO

Seems to me that his contested work has improved quite a bit so far this season
Just seems to be getting more of it

[skeptic]

Has gone really quite all of a sudden

Unsighted in the second half of this quarter which has been my knock on him before

Yep, dunno why - perhaps an opposition move. One of things I hate watching on TV - you can't see anything - and the d..heads on TV will never pick it up.

[The_Dud]

Yep didn’t do much for the rest of the quarter, but the whole team seemed to stop for about 10 minutes there. A few little things but nothing of note.

14 disposals to half time and 4 tackles. 2 clearances (equal second for the team behind Steele with 7). 6th ranked player for us.

[desertsaint]

beating Laird. If he continues he's done his job well.

[bangaulegend]

IMO doing a job missed a few kicks but hey he giving it a crack

[skeptic]

He’s definitely one to watch

Dunstan looked so good early and his improvement just stalled all of a sudden.

I always wondered if he was a player that perhaps didn’t push himself over the Richo years as he was so lacklustre

There’s an urgency/desperation about him I’m loving at the moment... approaches every contest like it could be his last

Definitely had some development issues with a lot of young players from that era.

[The_Dud]

Nice little side step through traffic out of the middle and kick inside 50. Otherwise been pretty quiet in the 3rd.

[The_Dud]

Timely intercept mark in D50. Followed up a minute later with great desperate tackle preventing clean shot at goal.

Quick give to Sincs in the middle that didn’t quite come off

Poor handball though

[The_Dud]

Attempted barrel inside 50 to Higgins nearly came off.

Got another 8 touches that quarter but nothing really of note. Looks comfortable in traffic but that makes sense as that’s where he does his best inside work. Seems like he looks for the quick handball to a passing runner a lot, which again makes sense.

Team high 9 tackles now. Still equal second in clearances with 3. 3rd highest ranked player for us.

not perfect but more of sincs going to fast to handle it.
he's having a good game. pressuring many crows players as they kick, putting many off their target. definitely earned a spot next week up til now. fingers crossed he keeps it up. we're in for a bit of a fight now.

At this stage in our top 5 I reckon.

Yeah I think so

Well behind Crouch and Steele. I pbly have Sinclair ahead of him to at this stage.
He’s pbly next

[The_Dud]

Terrible last quarter across the whole team, Dunstan was quiet.

26 touches, 10 tackles, 3 clearances, 3rd highest ranked player.

Very solid game, more than deserves his spot.

[Vazelos]

Same old Dunstan
No class poor disposals and can’t run out games.
Will be delisted end of year amongst another 8+.
Got 100 games in seasons of Mediocrity.
The one season we played finals he didn’t play, says it all.

[B.M]

Played ok

Just one play really annoyed me, his kicking was as per usual but he missed a 1M handball to Sinclair on the burst, huge turnover in the centre of the ground

Just shouldn’t happen at that level

Sinclair looked at Dunstan like WTF

If the worst moment of his game was missing a handball by a few inches I’d say he’s done pretty well! (Considering there were multiple times tonight blokes straight up kicked it to the opposition under no pressure, or missed gimme goals)

How about his kick to King in the first?

[bangaulegend]

Dunny was Dunny but a hell of a lot better than f***-ng Lonie ,Coffield ,Battle ,Buttler I could go on but IMO he was in our best 6 . It was a terrible fade out & we need to be a lot better than that . We have injuries but you can't defend that effort after half time

What part isn’t true?
Last part is a fact the rest is an opinion.
Let’s revisit this end of year shall we he is out of contract end of year.
Want to put your reputation on him being at St Kilda next year?
A player at his prime and not one conversation about him being recontracted....
Know what that means?
