Re: Josh Dunkley - A power Mid in 2019
Man, the whole pick trade with Carlton could've gone bad after Collins was delisted. But he's raising his game to a level where soon enough the conversation won't be at all about that pick trade, but what in the hell was Sydney thinking to leave him alone. In 5 years, he will be one of the biggest bonafide beasts in the comp.
Re: Josh Dunkley - A power Mid in 2019
Dunks turned on beast mode tonight. 16 possession at qtr time, and 11 were contested! Absolute BEAST and jet!
cheap push by stringer in the second that took the wind out of dunks. What a champ gets up and takes the free kick.

Hang on, IIRC he told the Swans to get ****ed as a father and son. He didn't want to go there.
Re: Josh Dunkley - A power Mid in 2019
Dunkley snr had nothing glowing to say about the Swans.
Dunkley jnr is in All Australian form.

According to Josh & Sydney, they wanted each other. We bid too high (a bargain for us). Plenty of other media sources say the same too.

Re: Josh Dunkley - A power Mid in 2019
I thought Dunkley would miss a couple of weeks after that bone-rattling attack by Robinson last week, instead he’s as brave as ever. It was a cheap shot by Stringer to go knees up into his back at one point, but from all we know about him, entirely typical.

You could see Jake was frustrated. Seeing your old club that turfed you out thrashing your new club. A lot of salt in the wound.

That warms my heart.

Getting that first clearance after a scuffle with Bont would have felt sweet. Then he didn't touch it for the rest of the quarter so hope he savored that taste

Dunks is one of only four players to have four "Perfect 10" games in AFLCA Award voting.
The others are Neale, Cripps and Dangerfield.
That is elite company.

Re: Josh Dunkley - A power Mid in 2019
I'm pretty sure Dunkley wanted to stay in Melbourne. So the deal was if a Melbourne club nominated him Sydney would let him go. If an interstate club nominated him Sydney would take him.
