I will preface what I am about to say by stating that Jason Dunstall is one of my three all time favourite players. He is a Hawthorn legend and what he has done for this club, both on and off the field is beyond measure.
HOWEVER.....
He should not commentate on Hawthorn games. I have listened to him any number of times call Hawk games and he goes beyond what could be considered objective commentary. I fully realise that he is trying to compensate for the fact that he is Hawthorn through and through but he borders on anti-Hawthon in his calling. He never seems to take the Hawthorn line when discussing umpiring decisions or on field issues. With JD we always seem to be in the wrong.
He is a terriffic commentator but really should excuse himself from the box when the Hawks play.
