From Western Australia, Dunstan made his debut for Western Australian Football League (WAFL) club South Fremantle in 1991 and was drafted by Fitzroy, with the 40th selection of the 1992 AFL draft.
Dunstan made his AFL debut in 1993, against Carlton and kicked goals with his first two kicks. He finished the season with 20 games and 20 goals and the half forward added another 18 games in 1994.[2]
The rest of Dunstan's career was ruined by injury and he managed just five appearances after joining West Coast. He continued playing for South Fremantle but injuries forced him to retire in 1998.[3]
