David Dunbar has spent more than 35 years at the coalface of Australian football — as a forward scout, opposition analyst, and senior and assistant coach across Hawthorn, Melbourne, Fremantle, Brisbane, East Fremantle, and Port Melbourne. But it's his time as footy's most notorious "spy" that has become the stuff of legend.

Phoenix Trinidad and Mark Stevens sit down with Dave to lift the lid on the wild world of AFL intelligence gathering — fake disguises, hard hats and shovels, almost getting punched by premiership coaches, and hiding in pie vans. Dave also opens up about his work with young talent today, and why he believes the AFL needs to stop throwing money at the top and start investing in the development pathway where it really counts.
