The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...
Recruited from the Gippsland Power, Josh Dunkley is a strong and courageous midfielder. Dunkley made his debut in Round 1, 2016, playing 17 games that season including the drought-breaking premiership – in which he was the youngest Bulldog to feature. Dunkley enjoyed a breakout season in 2019, transitioning into a full-time midfield role and averaging more than 28 disposals and six tackles per match. He was runner-up in the Charles Sutton Medal, named in the All Australian squad of 40, and was vice-captain of the AFLPA 22under22 team. Dunkley underwent a shoulder reconstruction last season, which sidelined him from round six to round 15, before returning to the side and impacting in the 2021 AFL Finals series.

He is an above average player and unless his kicking skills improve that might be his ceiling.
I rate Dunks though and hope we can re-sign him.

Do we overrate our players?
I don't think Dunkley is average but I'm not sure he's clearly above average either. His skill level is close to the worst in the competition, his marking has quietly evaporated from his game, he lacks pace.
He can find the ball and his tackling/smothering is good, but is that enough to elevate a player to above average status?
Personally I now hope we see what we can get for him. Finding players who can win the ball is not difficult, finding players who can distribute the ball effectively is.
W00F!

I'll go with above average and it would only be his disposal that holds him back from taking the next step up.

I went with above average but his goal kicking and pace made it a borderline decision. I too think we should trade him.
His kicking has come a long way. Above average
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
