The crucial cogs of AFL's Round 7: Which players need to be the difference makers?
We’re taking a look at one player from each team that needs to make a difference this week, starting with the ANZAC Day games.
Police have arrested St Kilda midfielder Luke Dunstan after the AFL player was found asleep in a public place.
He was fined for being intoxicated in public early on Saturday morning.
The club gave no details of where the incident happened.
“Luke fell asleep in public, was detained in police lodgement for a few hours and subsequently given a fine on release,” the Saints said in a statement.
They said he told the club immediately and co-operated with police.
The Saints are on leave this weekend as their pre-season training continues.
Football manager Jamie Cox said Dunstan was embarrassed and had apologised.
“Luke’s a trusted young man of strong character and we’re disappointed he has not met club expectations on this occasion,” he said.
“This serves as a prescient reminder to our playing group of the importance of responsible consumption of alcohol.”
Dunstan, 21, has played 53 AFL games since his 2014 debut.

Amid all the hysteria and gnashing of teeth that accompanies any team following a particular galling loss, it's worth remembering at all times that…
Round 5 of the AFL provided plenty of action, from big scorelines to upset wins and pressure starting to build on some clubs and coaches already.
Geelong has been crafty and creative in its list management and has quietly assembled a very exciting young group of midfielders and half-forwards.
Brisbane co-captain Lachie Neale will be looking to lead his team to a victory against Melbourne in what will be his 250th AFL game.
It’s high stakes with five teams having lost their first three games of season 2024, and in desperate need of a win.
