Hawthorn champion and Fox Footy’s own Jason Dunstall is set to become the 32nd player elevated to legend status in the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
The 59-year old will be formally elevated during June’s Hall of Fame ceremony in Melbourne, the AFL confirmed on Monday.
It completes the stellar resume of one of the game’s all-time greats.

As dominant as any full forward to ever play the game, Dunstall booted 1254 career goals – ranked third all-time in VFL/AFL history – from 269 games for Hawthorn from 1995 to 1998.
Dunstall is 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.
He averaged just under 4.7 goals per game including kicking double figures in 16 seperate games. Dunstall’s 17 goals against Richmond in 1992 mark the second-highest tally in a VFL/AFL game ever.
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.
