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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
