Of those we bought in from State Leagues to fill the age and experience void on our List, only Wilkie remains
So that is a win for the Club

Re: Hind & Dunstan!
From the FF likes and dislikes. ...heraldsun.com.au
4. Green Acres
Don’t know if it’s a compliment or a backhander, but who would ever have predicted Fremantle’s Blake Acres to be near best-on-ground against Geelong at Geelong? It says plenty about his maturing as a player. He played permanent wing on Isaac Smith, which is a tough outing at Geelong, and finished with 27 disposals, the second most at the club, and team highs in metres gained (676) and inside 50s (eight). St Kilda off-loaded Acres and exchanged draft picks as part of the Brad Hill trade. He played 75 games at the Saints and now 32 at the Dockers. Late last season, Acres might’ve been wondering where his footy was going. He was dropped for Round 19 and returned in Round 23, and didn’t finish in the top 10 in the best and fairest. This season, he’s played all seven games and is averaging a career 22 disposals. It might prove to be a summer of salvation for him.

Re: Hind & Dunstan!
Maybe I’m biased but I thought Dunstan looked a class or two below the other Melbourne mids.

Re: Hind & Dunstan!
Probably a fair and accurate assessment. I'd hope if he was the class of Oliver or Petracca he'd still be at St Kilda.
Next Sunday should be fun for all involved.

Unless the Dees have another batch of Covid, I would imagine that Dunstan will not being playing unless they are romantic at the Dees and will gift him a game against his former Dees.
Dunstan is at the Dees, what he would have been at the Saints this year. A worthy back up player when your preferred options cannot play.

Re: Hind & Dunstan!
Bytel, Owens and Windhager are the future and all better options than Dunstan who is definitely the past.
