Here’s the latest I can share based on available public coverage.
-
Josh Dunkley has been a high-profile AFL midfielder with a notable trade history, including a move to Brisbane in 2022 and later involvement with leadership roles at the Brisbane Lions. For context on his 2022 trade to Brisbane, see coverage from AFL media and trade outlets. You may also recall post-trade coverage discussing his impact with the Lions and the club’s handling of his contract discussions.[2][4]
-
Recent video and interview content in 2025–2026 highlight ongoing on-field performances and leadership discussions, including moments where Dunkley contributed key plays and goals in games, as well as leadership updates within Brisbane (co-captain discussions and related coverage). Note that some 2026 content is media-produced and reflects current club leadership structures.[5][6]
-
For up-to-the-minute developments (contract status, leadership roles, or any new trades), I’d recommend checking official club communications (Brisbane Lions website and AFL.com.au) and reputable Australian sports outlets, as these publish real-time updates and quotes from club officials and Dunkley himself.[6][2]

- Quick idea: search for “Josh Dunkley 2026 Brisbane Lions captaincy” on AFL/Club sites and cross-check with major outlets like AFL.com.au and news aggregators to confirm any leadership roles or contract news as events unfold.[2][5]
If you’d like, I can summarize the most recent articles I can access or pull together a short timeline of Dunkley’s key career milestones and leadership updates. Please specify your preferred focus (recent news, contract status, or leadership role).
