Josh Dunkley is a superstar midfielder in the AFL currently playing for the Brisbane Lions. He is an AFL Premiership player (2016) and Best and Fairest winner (2022) with his former club, Western Bulldogs where he played 116 games and booted 65 goals.
We had the great pleasure of sitting down with Dunks in Brisbane during our time in Queensland and got to dive into his life on and off the field. And the first thing we found out is what a great bloke he is!
Josh shared how he is settling into Brisbane and the huge lifestyle change it has been. He touched on how the trade from the Western Bulldogs went down, the characters that has surprised him at the Lions and the differences between the two clubs.
We got a great insight at his time at the Western Bulldogs and the highs and lows of the journey. From the unbelievable heights of winning a flag in his first season to the lows of a playing in a losing grand final, Dunks shared it all. Plus, the incredible emotions of winning the Best & Fairest days after leaving the club to join the Lions.
We had a laugh when talking about the best spray he has been on the receiving end of, Luke Beveridge's famous themed rounds and what Tom Liberatore said to him when he nailed him in a ferocious tackle, seconds into Dunks' first game against his former team.
And of course it would be rude not to ask Dunks about Adam Treloar and their fascinating friendship and to hear why they have such a strong bond.
It was intriguing to hear a current player's perspective on what's happening around the game currently. Josh shared his views on players in the media and clubs enabling more fan access to see what happens inside the locker rooms, showing more personality and the impact sports betting is having on the AFL and the players.
We are so grateful Dunks gave us some of his time to come in for a chat in the middle of the season and we know you guys will love every minute of this unreal chat.
Enjoy the Brisbane superstar & even better bloke, Josh Dunkley.
