Brisbane has entered the race for Western Bulldogs midfielder Josh Dunkley, reports AFL Media’s Cal Twomey.
Dunkley remains out of contract with the Bulldogs and has been linked with the likes of Port Adelaide and Essendon.
Twomey understands the Lions are now also in the mix for the 25-year-old, who has a long-term contract offer in front of him from the Dogs.

“He’s still weighing up his decision, he’s got a big call to make, and I don’t think it’s going to be a call that he makes until the end of the Bulldogs’ season now,” Twomey told SEN Breakfast.
“Brisbane, I understand, have a level of interest in him as well, joining the likes of Port Adelaide and Essendon, who have been linked to him for a little bit longer.
“We reported a couple of weeks ago the Power’s interest in Dunkley and I still have them as a real contender for him if he decides to leave the Kennel.
“But I’m led to believe the Lions to be in the mix as well. He has a link in Queensland too where his sister Lara plays netball with the Queensland Firebirds.
“The Dogs want to keep him, and they’ve got a long-term offer in front of him, and that’s been in front of him for some time.
“He has a big call to make. Expect some conclusion on that probably at the end of the Dogs’ year.”
Dunkley, a premiership player with the Bulldogs in 2016, is averaging 25 disposals from 20 games this season.
The unsigned Bulldog has also kicked 17 goals.
