I read an article last week where he was tipped to go at number 1. Son of Sydney Champion, Andrew Dunkley. Welcome Kyle.

    Can he kick?

    Yes and with both feet. He’s just not accurate.

    Hmm...Welcome to Demonland....

     

    Who is this new poster, Kyle? 

    Whats his profile picture? 

    Can he go toe to toe with the likes of DV8? 

    Would he decipher the rambling rantings of Picket Fence? 

    Could he give Uncle Bitters a metaphoric, linguistic sponge bath? 

    ...so many questions!!!

    Assume he's like his brother which would be an inside, tough, accumulator.

    Doesn't exactly address our lack of run on the outside or someone who can use the ball.

    Either way, guess it's depth and a younger upgrade on Maynard.

    Another inside mid....ummmm.....we kind of have that position well covered already!

     

    That said welcome and good luck Kyle

    His dad didn't look too happy...very slow and low key in congratulating his son.  Maybe they were hoping he would slip thru to Sydney.

    Surely you’d just be happy that your son got selected by an AFL Club and is now living dream?

    Of course I would.  Just saying his dad didn't look too excited.

    That half-forward role is pretty much there for the taking...

    Good luck to him

    What are his foot skills like and has he got any pace???? If not it’s just going down the same recruiting old path.

    A very brief highlight package is up on the MFC site. Looks to have good skills and ability around in the contest.

    I hate to be that guy but he does look slow in the short bit of footage.

    He also plays half-forward and kicked 3 goals on the weekend. Stop the whinging ffs. 

    Put him on the plane to Alice. That's as good goal kicking form as anyone on the list

    looks like the club played it safe taking Dunkley, he looks a solid sort of player. I sort of wish they took a risk though and chose someone with a bit of flair about them. but anyway, hopefully he can kick to a team mates advantage, if he can, I say put him straight in, as not many of our other guys can.

    That’s what I was saying sorry, surely his Dad should be looking excited and happy for his son.

    Swans made enquires into drafting his as a priority in the mid-season draft but were turned down.

    For mine speed and overlap run overwhelming priority for Dees. 

    Having said that welcome Kyle and you might be in the Dees 22 soon.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
