Was thinking the exact same thing just now. Wish we were “death riding” their 2024 1st rounder.Would have been handy having Brisbane’s first rounder this year rather than last year!
They've completely removed goal kicking from his game to turn him into a pure shutdown player for some reasonI'd take him back in a heartbeat but Dunkley really hasn't kicked on at Brisbane.
He had a few good games last year but was more influential for us imo.

Just hasn't been the same since doing that Coles express hot pockets ad. Must have been soul destroying.I'd take him back in a heartbeat but Dunkley really hasn't kicked on at Brisbane.

Good questions Fossie. Can’t answer them all now but in society generally, treating drug use as a criminal issue has never worked. All it does is clog up the justice system and create and alienate more criminals.Why do AFL regard players' drug taking as a medical issue? I can understand this would be reasonable if they were addicted to drugs but I assume most take them 'recreationally' rather than due to addiction.
It seems a convenient stance, along with the three strikes policy, to allow them to use drugs without interfering with their footy careers.
If the AFL and AFLPA say the system is designed in the best interests of players' welfare and that drug taking is a medical issue, is not this suggesting that it is generally not a good thing to be taking drugs?
If that is the case, how do supporters say they don't care about them taking drugs as long as it doesn't interfere with their performance?
Is it because
1 they really think drugs are not harmful [why should it be a medical issue then?]
2 they don't care about players being harmed
3 they feel their own lifestyles would be threatened by restrictions on drug taking
4 other
Do people think the issue of drug taking is a problem but it should be addressed by decriminalization rather than law enforcement?
If you've never been to a game at the GABBA before, Lions are absolutely feral. Will boo everything that doesn't go their way
Only been to the GABBA once, but I know what you mean.
I was at our Elimination Final there in 2000 - Scott Wynd and Steve Kolynuik last game, if you recall.
Long time ago, but their fans were feral.
That's why the AFL made it a mandatory condition that music be played after every lions goal. To distract, diminish and hopefully sedate their feralness .Don’t remind me. Last (and I do mean last) time I went I had this huge bald bloke sitting right in front of me and every time the Lions kicked a goal, ie every few minutes he leapt up yelling then would turn around and stare gleefully at the little bunch of quiet Dogs supporters in my row. Needless to say we lost

It's a Lions thing. They all chose a song to play if they kick a goalThat's why the AFL made it a mandatory condition that music be played after every lions goal. To distract, diminish and hopefully sedate their feralness .
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Touching hands
Reaching out
Touching me , touching you (sing it louder now)
This is probably good tonic for bulldog feralness as well.
Hah Not Pretty Enough. No you aren't!It's a Lions thing. They all chose a song to play if they kick a goal

Um what?!?!?Just hasn't been the same since doing that Coles express hot pockets ad. Must have been soul destroying.
Over the last couple of years he's been doing hilariously awkward Instagram ads for Coles express. His hot pockets one was the original and best.Um what?!?!?

I'd almost put money on Dunkley returning to Victoria after his contract at the Lions runs out - but - I'd highly highly doubt it would be with us. Not much love for him amongst certain leaders down at the Kennel.I'd take him back in a heartbeat but Dunkley really hasn't kicked on at Brisbane.

They're also playing him as a defensive-oriented player when he's more of an extractor of stoppages. Arguably the best footy of his career was actually his final 5 games with us in 2022, when he was head and shoulders our best player over that spurt and getting 15 contested touches a game. That's now dropped by more than a third to 9.67 this season. But his tackle numbers are up. He's a much better footballer than the Tom Atkins esque-role that he's been asked to do - stand behind the stoppage and tackle anyone who wins the ball - that gets asked of players like Tom Atkins because they're Tom Atkins.Yeah one thing I will say for Beveridge with Dunkley is that in 2022 he extracted great value out of him as a mid/fwd in both parts of the ground. It’s like Brisbane have excised the forward component but there’s nothing extra to his game to replace it.
