Steele Equal 3rd In Brownlow

4. Excuse me, coach

The curious case of Luke Dunstan got St Kilda fans' tongues wagging during the Brownlow Medal count. The midfielder was awarded one vote for a 21-disposal, nine-tackle performance against North Melbourne in round one, but was dropped for the following round (nearly three months later due to the COVID-19 break). He was unable to break back into the side until a torn pectoral muscle effectively ruled him out from July onwards. Dunstan wasn't the only player to poll votes and then be omitted, with North Melbourne's Jared Polec picking up one vote against Carlton in round eight and then finding himself out of the team the following week.

Yep, didn't deserve to be dropped after that game, I would hope that without his injury he would have played a bit this year.

He may not have come back from the Covid break in the best of condition? Maybe that was a reason. As there was quite a few months between Round1 & Round 2. He rarely comes back in pre-seasons in ripping condition, he usually trims down a little once the season gets well under way. Poor fellow has that chunky body build and I’d imagine trying to keep his skin folds at the required level would be difficult. I think he’d only have to walk past a cake or a beer & he’d put on a few kilos!!

I know someone like that.
