This guy is an absolute monster in the middle. Has made our midfield incredibly strong

Re: Josh Dunkley - A power Mid in 2019
I love seeing Dunks playing for us. The tougher it gets the more he seems to relish it. A great get.

That's what I thought too.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Josh Dunkley - A power Mid in 2019
Is he becoming our best player? We've voted him BOG in 4 of the last 5 games. He's a Panzer.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

I don't think he is our best but the gap is closing on Macrae and Bontempelli

He is certainly in brilliant form, but he is brute strength against Bontempelli's class.

Re: Josh Dunkley - A power Mid in 2019
He's adequate with his field disposal, whereas Bont and Jacko are elite when on. His strength in being able to get forward and impact the scoreboard narrows the gap on the latter though.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Perhaps he's our most effective then. He's certainly been the difference a few games now.

Our fortunes started to change when he was moved more full time into the midfield but he's been exceptional in the 2nd half of the year

He's our best looking player. So that's something.

No chance Baz has got it going on.

Hmmmm-Wood and Lewy Young would look pretty good on the catwalk, perhaps Lippy too. T Boyd was very photogenic with that mighty fine head of hair too.
I was pretty critical of his disposal incl earlier this year but he continues to improve that l and is proving to be an absolute gun midfielder and good for a goal or so a game. Scary to think he will presumably become more physically imposing too. Very reliable week to week now. Let’s hope he can keep it up. I am still very nervous when he has a set shot for goal (but then I am with Bont nowadays too!!).

Re: Josh Dunkley - A power Mid in 2019
When Dunks had 15 and a goal in a tough first half againts Hawthorn in the 2016 semi as an 18 year old - I was pretty sure we had ourselves a fair player. Amazing how quickly he has developed into a star.

Re: Josh Dunkley - A power Mid in 2019
When Dunks, Macrae and the Bont are all "on" we will win most matches.
