This club will forever hold a place in my heart and I’m so grateful to have been given the opportunity to put on the red, white and blue jumper. “To my girlfriend Tippah, words can’t describe how much you mean to me and I’m so grateful to have you in my life. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, I truly wouldn’t be the person or player I am today without you. He promised me he’d be here (until season’s end) – and I’m really grateful, I think we all are, that he’s been mature and respects his time at our football club that he’s here tonight to really see it through.” “I’ve tried my absolute heart out for this football club – and I hope everyone knows that. It’s a massive thing for the footy club and for myself personally, it’s such an honour to be here tonight.” “I was always going to come tonight. “It’s so hard being up here right now to be honest,” Dunkley said. He does all the hard team things unconditionally and we’re going to need more of that from his teammates – or former teammates – next year. “Hearing what Bevo just said, it makes me really emotional to be honest. I don’t know whether he’d made his decision at the time. “Let’s get the elephant in the room out of the way,” Beveridge said.
