Josh Bruce for sure. I suspect JJ will as well, he'll come back to Melbourne to sort his business dealings out and be more settled with his little one.
The biggest one for me will be junior guys who are developing that need VFL time to work on their craft - Sweet and Weightman the main two.
Re: The impact of hub life
I wasn't aware that JJ and Bruce had been singled out by the Dunkley camp or at least implicated by and by........
What additional business dealings does JJ have?

Some juice bar in South Yarra/Prahran somewhere. Might be closed permanently now though.
Re: The impact of hub life
I can tell you now, 100% certain, that Dunkley had no issues with JJ and training. Unless they had some other personal issues away from the coaches, but I have it on good authority that JJ is totally professional when it comes to preparation and training.

Yeah seems to me this was made up by asking "ok who didn’t have a great season? Bruce and JJ had some nightmare fumbles. Yeah Josh isn’t happy with the efforts of those guys".

If the Bigfooty post was indeed Andrew Dunkley, I fail to see how he would arrive at those conclusions unless it was passed on via Josh.
For a young guy like Dunkley, who seems 100% preparation and leave no stone unturned, maybe it was even slight dropoffs that potentially caught his ire.
Having lived it like I am sure a huge chunk of this forum, I am not sure how anyone could be 100% of their normal capabilities while remaining a supportive, present parent to a newborn.
I remember a work colleague looking like warmed up death after the birth of his first. He was literally grey for weeks and looked like he was an extra in a B-grade zombie flick. I didn't really understand how he could look so terrible till my first came along.
