Re: Josh Dunkley's Surgery Update

Caleb Daniel said on tv that he reckons Dunks will be back in 10. Never seen a player who can play with so much pain.

Watched the replay - looked calm walking off the ground with his bone poking a bulge out of his skin

Kids tough as nails so no doubt he can come back early if it’s just a matter of pain. Question is if he can get back to the same level of play quickly.

Get him back in time for finals while other teams midfields are beat up and crawling to the finish line. Will be like a bull in a china shop.

Re: Josh Dunkley's Surgery Update

Should we be worried with his injury history?

3 out of his 6 years in the game he has had major injuries.

2016 played 17 games
2017 played 7 games
2018 played 19 games
2019 played 23 games
2020 played 12 games (shortened season 18 games)
2021 played 6 games

Is it due to the way he plays. Bit like Jong just going in hard and fearless.

It's all collision stuff rather than soft tissue, and he always comes back and performs once he's recovered.

Yep no concern for mine.

I really hope he stays and we keep this ridiculous midfield for many years.
