    Deserves the extra coin too. He's our second best mid after Bont.

    He's quietly made himself into a 750k a year player in the last 7 weeks.

    With Jacko a bit down this year you might well be right. But, when Jacko is up he is super creative and damaging with both hand and foot to an extent Dunkley hasn't shown (and probably won't) he can be, but doesn't hit the scoreboard with the regularity we would all like (which Dunkley does).

    Locking him down is so important to us, having all three of him, Jacko and Bont as big and strong midfielders is going to be key to us over the next few years.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    That is extremely elite company.

    He's the bargain of the his draft year.

    It would be nice for Macrae to hit the scoreboard, but I am not as fussed as I was in the past, especially when I have seen Cripps with hardly any goals in his career.

    He has been excellent Josh. Would be doing well at the moment in the B&F up there with Jack.

    I am so happy he told the Swans that they could **** off with their father/son nomination.

    Saw a fair bit of his old man - great nasty FB. Glad to get his son.

    I said in another thread....I see Dunks as being a huge chance to become our Vice Captain next year when they make Bontempelli captain.

    My only concern is with Dunkley and Bontempelli being such close mates off the field is there potential for too much of the same kool aid being drunk?

    As an individual Dunkley would be a dead set certainty to hold an offical leadership title at some stage in his career.

    What a brute of a player he has become. He is punching out elite numbers now.

    I can't remember a lot of sensational HTBs. But, that could well be the best one I've ever seen. I mean he came from nowhere, as quick as The Flash or Superman. Hit him hard and fair, and without the adrenalin over cooking it and ensuring the right technique kept it legit. There should be a new stat, since Theres always new one coming in; certain goal save. That would articulate how good it was more than a tackle and free kick for.

    (Yes, Morris' tackle on Buddy was a freakin gem but equaled by Tom Boyd's outrageous finish from inside the square)

    Nathan Brown, Young Robert Murphy and Brian Griffith all played good footy across half back early in their careers.

    Did you hear Bevo’s 45 second justification on why it took the MC so long to move him into the midfield.
