Versus - Lockett v Dunstall

For more video, head to afl.com.au

[@Espectro101]

Both totally different style players - why separate them. Streets ahead of any of the forwards in todays game that for sure.

[@Dr_Footbrake]

Did Lockett fend off his teammate that first goal lol?

[@zackgadelas6798]

Yeh lol

[@donalddaffy39]

played tony

[@r0bz0rly]

noticed that too hahah fuckin love it

[@TONY_FEZ]

He said get out of my way!

[@strke69]

Two absolute legends I can't separate them personally sorry:).The only think Plugger missed was a flag as much as I would've& surely many others have loved to see him get one.What an era watching these two the endless highlights& weeks of watching them kick bags of goals 7 go head to head with each other year after year:)

[@michaelmarshall1713]

Both were amazing and no one today could match either one . But for me ? Dunstall the better . He was so disciplined .

[@danielsarn3823]

I reckon plugger would have hit 2000 for his career if it wasn't for injuries and suspensions the guy played only about 10 or 12 games a season lol I mean he kicked 100 in 14 games one season for christ sake.

[@rockyg2191]

I totally agree with you

[@rayoflight9709]

100 in 14 games at AFL standard is incredible . Just over 7 a game average

[@shannonpincombe8485]

Lockett averaged 15.6 games per season across 19 seasons and was rarely fully fit due to, in his words, "being over my best playing weight" for most of his career. Extra kilos puts pressure on joints especially in a high speed contact sport such as Aussie Rules. Jason Dunstall averaged 19.21 games per season over 14 seasons. His reliability and lack of serious injury, barring a knee reco late in his career(1997) meant he was more valuable to his team. Also, Jason gave away lots of goals to teammates....Tony, being supremely selfish, did not. Also, Jason was never paid a massive percentage of Hawthorns salary cap....Tony was paid far more than anyone else at St Kilda, a large chunk of their total player payments and robbed the team of bargaining money come trade time to secure the talent they needed. In fact some St Kilda players retained the services of lawyers to force St Kilda to pay their wages while Tony was paid on the regular. St Kilda could've been a top tier club with on field success but Tony wanted the biggest slice of the pie...obviously. 😅 One more thing...both of these two are better FFs than Gary Ablett in my eyes. Ablett was a damn good footballer but he too was selfish and didn't even know his teammates names. A solo player in a team sport. He should have played tennis or golf.

[@JimShadyUK]

I'll need at least an hour of highlights from each player before I can make my mind up. And then I STILL won't tell you because it's a ploy to get to watch lots of footage of two of the greatest full forwards of all time. Heh... I'm going with Dunstall because I'm a Hawks fan and he did win multiple premierships. However, I'll still watch as much footage of Tony Lockett as you care to throw at me.

[@Espectro101]

This Lockett goal at 1:45 is one of the best goals i have ever seen kicked. Talk about military precision. Imagine Travis Cloke taking a shot from there!

[@tassportslover2013]

There's only one Tony Lockett! :D

[@blazer7731]

0:21 Lockett stiff armed his own temammate😂. Savage

[@michaeldefran753]

Goal umpire at 2:21 😂

[@MightyThews]

Hate to think how many Dunstall WOULD of kicked if he didn't fracture his skull in 1990, do his knee twice and then have a broken collar bone (when in that season in 98 he had kicked 56 goals in 7 games) Something he doesn't seem to get credit for was how many he dished off as well. These blokes are legends, kids today don't know WHAT they missed out on. We have Chief, Plugger, Ablett Sr and Modra putting out bags for us every week!!

[@dabooda49]

Diamond Dog Even sadder when you look at the quality of today's AFL

[@steps6551]

dabooda49 ?

[@CharlieAUS]

dabooda49 The quality is better these days. Dunstall and Lockett wouldn't of played as good as they did then in today's game.

[@dabooda49]

Charlie Wolfe I mean the quality of footy. I agree skills are better now, but I hate seeing such defensive footy, when these players played in times when a game with scores 130-120 wasn't at all unusual

[@johntoth1264]

The speed is better not the quality. In the eighties and early nineties teams didn't need a list that was 40 athletes. Those few with a bit of extra skill but maybe not the pace get left behind more and more. Not saying todays footy is worse. It had to go this way. An overweight Jarman could win you a Granny 20 years ago. Stuart Dew will probably be the last tubby player to play in a granny. You never know one might come along

[@HomeAndAway-qn6dk]

Lockett!

[@australianmade2659]

Locket played in a poorer team. Lockett for me. But this is like choosing Porsche versus Ferrari

[@jamescarmody6467]

Plugger as a Swan very good,as a Saint absolute genius 🔴⚫️⚪️

[@michaelmarshall1713]

Who has the most Premierships ????

[@gamingvikings4676]

Lockett and Dunstall got so much goals because in those days, they would kick it to them due to them being a full forward ( they always kicked it to full forward) nowadays everyone but defenders get goals..

[@blazer7731]

They were better at drop punts. Like 1:46 you don’t see players making it from there with a drop punt

[@jameswozny1997]

​@@blazer7731correct. The game back then focused a lot on what each individual could bring to the team. These days it's mainly who is the best athlete. Hence why we don't get people who can kick like plugger or Dunstall anymore, because the league would see them as being a one truck pony. As a young 26 year old blues man I watch these old highlights all the time, what a bloody game!

[@zackgadelas6798]

Tony Lockett might've won overall but if you think bout he played 12 more games and Dunstall could've shortened the goal difference between the two to about 70. And I'm not saying that cause I'm a hawthorn supporter

[@gmarshall1026]

Plunger was the best

[@myownass2589]

Lockett coz he did it at a crap team Saints

[@codeword632]

I mean when he left the Saints they actually did better lol

[@taxads7791]

Don't forget Dunstall still kicked tons after Hawks went down the ladder too. In 96 he kicked a ton in a very ordinary Hawthorn team & single handedly got them into finals that year. Both are absolute legends of the game, like splitting hairs.

[@gti862001]

ABSOULTE GUNS best comment Ive ever heard was dunstall would sweat on how many goals tony would kick

[@jjmu92]

Bloody goal kicking machines 6 100 goal seasons wtf!

[@ra1phe]

It makes me feel sick in the stomach seeing Lockett in that imposter buy a team swanets jersey!!! It should never have happened it was almost more upsetting than the new that ej whiten had passed away . If only the media had left him alone and not infuriated the great man he would have kicked more than 1300 goals and would have been a one team immortal. Ps Lockett will go down as the greatest player to ever play the great game👌

[@frankjaegar1805]

I'd take Dunstall, better team player. The chief almost passed off as many goals as he kicked

[@dubjohnston]

Lockett at his beat but Dunstall throughout a season.

Dunstall

[@thegreekboy4800]

Lockett easily no contestOnly hawthorn people would say otherwisePlayed in a team that had overall win ratio of 66% lockett 45% Throw in four colemans more bags of double figures better overall average a brownlow and up against a man who was in 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 96 Thats 11 seasons of fourteen he played finals he got much better opportunities but lockett still superior

[@holymoly9120]

I never saw Lockett hanball once. Dunstall gave away almost as many as he kicked. Dunstall was a better all round player by a mile

[@swordiexd]

@@holymoly9120 Watch Lockett and Ablett in the 1995 state game then. Lockett gives off 3 in that video perfectly

[@nathand4500]

[@TONY_FEZ]

@@holymoly9120 Why would you handball when you are the the best full forward in the history of the game?

Ever heard of Hudson?

[@diamondchicken4459]

Locket

[@neilking2755]

Bloody pathetic AFL. Plugger played 3/4 of his career at St Kilda hut in this highlight package less than 10 percent of his highlight's are in a Saints Guernsey. Please explain!!! And don't say we couldn't find many in a Saint's Guernsey because I have hundreds of fantastic highlights of him in one!!!!!

[@bus5683]

The chief

[@zaccyboyw2314]

Why did you make this video Pluggers way better than the chief

[@terrya8989]

Imagine if Lockett played in the Hawks teams that Dunstall did. Dunstall isn't even the best ever Hawthorn full forward, Peter Hudson was.

[@taxads7791]

Don't forget Dunstall kicked the ton 3 times after Hawthorn fell down the ladder. He single handedly got an ordinary Hawthorn team into the finals in 96 after kicking another ton. Another thing to note is Dunstall gave plenty of goals off to teammates, he was renowned for that. Both are absolute champions of the game, wish we had players like them today.

[@terrya8989]

@@taxads7791 Fell down the ladder? How far? Dunstall kicked hundred's in 93, 94 and 96. They 4th, 6th and 8th in those years. Still made finals. Brereton doesn't hold Dunstall in the highest regard because he said, he only played full forward once in his career, when Dunstall was injured, he kicked 7 to 3 quarter time then he was taken off. ;P

[@shannonpincombe8485]

​@@terrya8989 that's a load of crap. Dermie wishes he had the goal stats Jason has.

[@simonworkman4451]

Dunstall was great dont get me wrong but in all he played in a very good football club that made things easier for him where lockett was in a bottom side and still dominating. In all lockett is the games all time greatest goal kicker. So i guess its like do the math lol there is only one tony lockett and im guessing we will not see another that comes remotely close to him 😉

[@simonettacarsonelli]

@@taxads7791 I'm a Cats fan and watched the Cats since 89. Dunstall was the best full forward, Ablett was the most spectacular and out-there. Dunstall was ultra reliable, Ablett was extra exciting. That's about it.

[@taxads7791]

@@simonettacarsonelli Ablett Senior was the best footballer that I saw. Out of all the players I watched, he was the one I enjoyed watching the most even though he torched my team (Essendon) so many times. You just had to shake your head at times at how unbelievable he was. He was the one I felt that could do anything at any moment & often did. He could play a variety of positions, but to play at full forward in your mid 30s & kick 120+ goals in about 18 games is phenomenal, I just don't think we will ever see a player like that again unfortunately. And oh yeah, his son could play a bit too hehe - best midfielder that I've seen in the game.

[@metallewd3472]

Fatguts then daylight.

[@benfinnerty6486]

Lockett by a mile

[@TONY_FEZ]

100% agree. Dunstall played in arguably the best team in AFL history whereas Plugger played in one of the worst and often kicked the entire score!
