Dunkley’s back pack has #5. It’s the most positive sign from Tom B’s interview. He is ours … maybe?
Was he wearing a yarmulke? He must be going to St Kilda…or Carlton.
Tom Browne seems to be 4 or 5 hours behind. The news always breaks here first. I guess we don’t have to wait for prime time.
Ohhhhh a little bit of bragging! I love it!
Next thing i’ll be posting WHO LET THE DOGS OUT videos.
Tom Browne: So well Josh, why are you wanting out of the Dogs?
Josh: Well the farkhead Bevo put me in the ruck. I mean, I’m about as much of a ruckman, as you are a bluddy Journo!!
Tom Browne: Well ah, yes Josh. Now that you put it like that I understand why you’d
want to leave.
The trade whisperer has no idea.
But in this instance, I believe him (because it’s what I want to hear)

Dog’s numbers explode after move into the midfield
By Jourdan Canil on Aug 4, 2019, 11:00am
WHICH player would you rather have based on these stats?
Player A: 32.6 disposals, 15.9 contested possessions, 6.3 clearances and 6.8 tackles.
Player B: 31.5 disposals, 16.3 contested possessions, 8 clearances and 3.6 tackles.
Player A is Western Bulldogs inside midfielder Josh Dunkley, while Player B looms as his likely match-up in round 20 – Brisbane’s Brownlow Medal fancy Lachie Neale.
Over the past 12 weeks, Dunkley has quietly entered the ‘who’s the best inside midfielder in the competition’ discussion.
The Bulldogs were sitting 2-4 at the end of round six and struggling to get their midfield and forward mix right.
Dunkley had been employed in a forward role and his stats were reasonable without being eye-popping – 18 disposals, 4.7 tackles and 0.5 goals per game, while sitting 260th in the Official AFL Player Ratings League-wide, and 11th at the Whitten Oval.
He’d barely even been near the middle in that time, averaging just 1.7 clearances and 8.2 contested possessions.
Then came the shake-up in round seven. It wasn’t just Dunkley who coach Luke Beveridge unshackled, but it’s the young midfielder who has shown the most improvement in that time.
Dunkley’s stats as a permanent midfielder across the past 12 weeks have been astounding. He is averaging 32.6 disposals, 6.8 tackles, 6.3 clearances and a whopping 15.9 contested possessions in that time.
Consider that those numbers have actually taken a slight dip after a comparatively ‘quiet’ 26-disposal effort against the Dockers in round 19.
The spike in Dunkley’s standing in the Official AFL Player Ratings has been impressive too, jumping 198 spots to 62 across the whole League. He now trails only Marcus Bontempelli (No.9) and Jack Macrae (No.10) at the Bulldogs.
For context, here’s how Dunkley stacks up against the other contested ball-winning kings on a per-game average.
| Player | Club | Rounds | Disposals | Contested Possessions | Clearances | Tackles | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Josh Dunkley | Western Bulldogs | 1-6 | 18 | 8.2 | 1.7 | 4.7 | 0.5 |
| Josh Dunkley | Western Bulldogs | 7-19 | 32.6 | 15.9 | 6.3 | 6.8 | 0.4 |
| Nat Fyfe | Fremantle | 1-19 | 29.3 | 17.3 | 7.5 | 4.4 | 0.6 |
| Clayton Oliver | Melbourne | 1-19 | 29.8 | 16.3 | 6.9 | 6.4 | 0.2 |
| Ben Cunnington | North Melbourne | 1-19 | 26.9 | 15.9 | 7.5 | 3.7 | 0.3 |
| Patrick Cripps | Carlton | 1-19 | 27.6 | 16.8 | 8.6 | 6.2 | 0.8 |
| Lachie Neale | Brisbane | 1-19 | 31.5 | 16.3 | 8 | 3.6 | 0.4 |
The Bulldogs as a team have seen success with the addition of Dunkley’s move – averaging an extra 3.4 clearances per game since round seven.
They’ve also won seven games and lost five in that time span, putting them firmly in the mix for a place in the finals
…
And yet some think we’d be ‘burning‘ a first rounder on him
If it costs us Saad & Raz only as it looks like it might it’s superbly done by Disco
Love how happy Tim looks
