Jason Dunstall elevated to legend status in the Australian Football Hall of Fame, latest news

Hawthorn champion and Fox Footy’s own Jason Dunstall has been elevated to legend status in the Australian Football Hall of Fame.

It completes the stellar resume of one of the game’s all-time greats.

He’s a four-time premiership player, three-time Coleman medallist including leading Hawthorn’s goalkicking on 12 occasions, an AFLPA MVP, two-time All-Australian and four-time best and fairest winner.

Dunstall, who in 2002 was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame, already had legend status in Hawthorn’s Hall of Fame and is in the club’s Team of the Century.

Retiring in 1998 after a decorated AFL career, Dunstall has gone on to have a prominent role in the media including starring across Fox Footy broadcasts and the long-time host of popular show Bounce.

MORE TO COME.
