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.

Yeaaa .... his old man, he’s one of us know, when can we start sledging him for his skills?

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
