Illness
July 18, 2021
Dunkley will miss the next 14 days while quarantining at home due to COVID-19 protocols, AFL Ratings reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunkley has been exposed to COVID-19 and must stay home for the next 14 days. This is tough news for Dunkley after he's just returned from a three-month shoulder injury. The midfielder is averaging 10.9 kicks, 5.9 tackles, 5.0 clearances and 1.0 behind this season.
Set to return

July 13, 2021
Dunkley will be available for Round 18 against Gold Coast, according to head of sports medicine Chris Bell.
ANALYSIS
Dunkley hasn't played since late-April due to a bad shoulder injury and returns at a good time to improve the sentiments around a good 'Dogs team that needs to play better. With over 100 points in all six of his appearances this season, Dunkley could be a major influence on how this week goes on the field and in fantasy.
Expected to miss three months

Shoulder
April 25, 2021
Dunkley (shoulder) is expected to miss three months as a result of his injury.
ANALYSIS
Dunkley's absence represents a significant blow to the Bulldogs, and he'll be out long-term after there were initially hopes his absence would be limited to a few weeks. If the best-case scenario of a three-month return plays out, Dunkley will be back on the field for the final month of the season.
Pops shoulder in win

Shoulder
April 23, 2021
Dunkley suffered a dislocated shoulder during Friday's Round 6 win over GWS, according to Martin Pegan of AFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Dunkley has been one of the many weapons for the 'Dogs this season but could now miss a few weeks with this injury. He's scored at least 100 fantasy points in every round so far and his absence will shift even more importance to the likes of Jack Macrae, Marcus Bontempelli, Tom Liberatore and others, though that's a long enough list to make up the difference.
Dominates in win

April 17, 2021
Dunkley scored two goals and logged one behind in addition to recording 38 disposals (15 kicks, 23 handballs) and making eight tackles during Saturday's 118-56 win over Gold Coast.
ANALYSIS
It's been an impressive early-season stretch for the Dogs, as Dunkley and his teammates routinely compete to be the best on ground. This week, it was Dunkley's turn to take that title and lead the way in Saturday's victory. With over 100 points in every round so far, you can't really go wrong with Dunkley, though just be careful which midfielder you expect to score the most.
