    Not convinced with this pick but Josh is a dog now so all the best to the kid and hope he proves me wrong.

    Lets wait to hear from Dalrymple but longer term I think he is a defender. A big mid who can go into the back line.

    The big wraps on JD are character, leadership and fierceness at the contest. Excited to see what he adds to us.

    Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Josh Dunkley

    What is the knock on Josh? I noticed there was a lot of hesitation pre-draft about Josh potentially being our first pick...obviously we all support him now, keen to know why the hesitation though.

    FWIW on the Bulldogs website it says he was in discussions for our first pick at 11 before we traded out.

    Interesting we rated him so highly, but perhaps some big bodied insurance for the midfield who could end up playing s few roles for us as he develops.

    Will be very interested to see how he tracks but it seems he's going to give himself every chance to succeed which is a good starting point.

    I'm happy, he fits a type we need a couple more of and apparently can play.

    Kicking and athleticism were the two knocks I've read. Apparently is fairly slow and not a great tank thus far
