RE Dunstan
Questionable disposal and decision making
Not overly quick
Doesn’t win a lot of ball
For mine he’s the same type of player as a Hannerbery, Ross and Jones
Easily 4th behind them all
100% agree.
Dunstan's disposal and pace seems to improve the longer he doesn't play. He's a slightly better tackler than Ross, his commitment and courage can never be questioned but he's as one sided as Ross, slower than Ross, less durable than Ross.
Ross needs to be one of our 4th to 6th midfielders, not Dunstan. I hope a club really wants him and he has a good finish to his AFL career...Win / Win.
Dunstan has been on our list since 2013 and hasn't been able to cement a spot so why are people so desperate to keep him, lets move him on and see what we can get for him.
It's the same as everyones blind faith in Lonie (2014), who bobs up every now and again and kicks a few goals usually against the lesser sides and then goes missing for weeks on end.
Agreed. Dunstan, Lonie, Roberton and Webster should be traded. If we were able to get pick 35 for Dunstan, 35 for Lonie, 45 for Roberton and 45 for Webster and then bundle all the picks up we might be able to move up the draft order. Pick 35 = 522 x 2 = 1044, Pick 45 = 347 x 2 = 694, 1044 + 694 = 1738 which is the equivalent of pick 6 (approx). Now I'm not saying a club would give us pick 6 for those 4 players but those points will give us extra bargaining power during the trade period.
Don't know how you came to the conclusion that there are two picks at 35 and two picks at 45
You're a riot saynta. I was speaking in general terms.
Rubbish, you can't count. Even in general teams there is only one pick 35 and one pick 45. Even my three year old grand daughter would understand that.
You're a Grandfather?
Great grand father even.
This is how I picture you after that news
If you are a Grandfather and indeed a Great Grandfather then why do you carry on like a two bob watch? (if youy are a Grandfather then you should know what 2 bob is worth).
At least he can count, even without taking his socks off
Yep and I know that 36 comes after 35 and 46 follows on from 45.

Re last post
More criminals ?
As long as they can mark the footy and hit as hard as Stack and Pickett from Richmond or that other bloke Krakouer who used to play for them and for Collingwood, then why not? Sidney Stack was overlooked in the National Draft because he had a rough upbringing and was in trouble with the law at times
With caveats of course....they have to have a clean bedroom
Nah...the thing is; if you have strong leadership and a young talented footballer has shown that he wants to change his ways, then a second chance can benefit both. Stack may have suffered 'cabin fever' a little more than others, especially not being able to play regular VFL footy. If Richmond want to discard him, we should pounce
So looks like we'll get Crouch as a free agent. If so that's awesome as he's free.
-Now we need to lock down Jye Caldwell, as he's a player that will be best 22, and will improve us moving forward.
-That leave us with finding a FF/CHF to partner Max King.
- Ben King would be awesome long term.
- Could Brown be an option now Cameron is supposedly going to the cats.
- Or maybe Jarrod Brander, Sam Hayes........
May have to wait until Ben King becomes a FA unfortunately- seems like the AFL will do everything in their power to keep him there until then.
The good news is when he does finally arrive it should help us win a couple more back to back flags and make us the first club to win 5 on the trot in the modern era
Life is never more fun than when you're the underdog competing against the giants.

5 consecutive flags is what is would take to make up for all the pain over the last 42 years.
One flag would be a great start but it just wouldn't cut it.
