Dunkley?

Post by desmondo »

So last year we were very INTO luring Dunkley to the club.

He seemed keen to come.

Now we don`t even get a mention when he looks like he wants out again?.

Is it just a case of, him thinking, your fkng kidding, why would I go there??.

Can`t really say I even blame him. :-"

But should Brad Scott at least be on the phone to him?.

Time flies - it was 2 years ago we were right into him.
I'm sure Dodoro is in contact with his manager, but it seems he wants to go to Brisbane now. And the trade looks about just as likely to go through as it did 2 years ago with us. Although I get the feeling this time it'll happen.

Mitch Wallis?

Well Dunkley is now a Lion but Wallis was delisted today. Is he someone that might be worth an annual contract?

Thanks :lol:
I realised he wasn't getting selected, but seem to remember him playing well in one game I saw. I think that ended in injury?

Is he a 30 yo injury prone player, lost form accordingly, or just forced out by better options or a youth policy?

Not sure of the Bulldogs list demographic.

But we have Heppell. A 30 year old who probably shouldn’t be getting a game every week. At least he’s durable (available to play every week). I just can’t see Wallis adding any value to us.

Though injury prone, he could at least show our players 2 way running and how to put your body on the line.

I would at least give him a thorough medical assessment.

Possibly a bit similar to Guelfi in style and best position though.

In recent years, since he's been playing exclusively as a forward, I can't recall ever seeing Wallis playing outside his offensive 50m arc.
