Josh Dunkley gives insight into potential trade decision

Bulldogs star Josh Dunkley has revealed his underlying motivations as he weighs up a potential trade.

Bulldogs star Josh Dunkley says he will make a decision on his future in the next week.

The midfielder is weighing up options at Western Bulldogs, Port Adelaide and Brisbane.

“It’s tough,’’ Dunkley said.

“I’m not sure people understand how big a decision it is. It’s your life and you don’t want to be making the wrong decision. That’s what is taking time.

“Hoping in the next week or so to have made a call.”

Dunkley will take his partner Tippah Dwan, a netballer with the Adelaide Thunderbirds, to the Brownlow on Sunday.

The sporting power couple is being styled to the max — Josh wearing Joe Black, Tippah wearing Zian Couture via stylist Ramzy Nawzar; make up by Tre Dallas; grooming by Frank Ciccone and hair by Jelena Vasic from Joey Scandizzo Salon.

Josh Dunkley is considering a trade to another club.

“I’ve been to the Brownlow before with my mum and teammates but this is the first time with a partner,’’ Dunkley said.

“It’s exciting. It’s all about the girls and it’ll be good fun to showcase my partner and my rock. The best thing is that we’re not a one-way street. We’re both committed to our sport and each other and we both give support.”

The couple will holiday in Fiji after the Bulldogs best and fairest later this month.

“I’ve never done anything like this before — Josh coming to the netball awards isn’t as big as the Brownlow,’’ Dwan said.

Nawzar said: “I have been working with Josh for over five years as his stylist and now get to work with his partner Tippah on her first Brownlow event which is exciting. I can’t wait to show what we have come up with as a team and let this power couple shine on the red carpet.”
