Josh Dunkley is the 2016 AFL grand final father-son story with a twist.While teammates Tom Liberatore, Lachie Hunter and Zaine Cordy are set to go one better than their dads by representing the Western Bulldogs on the biggest football stage of all, Dunkley could just as easily have been wearing red and white at the MCG on Saturday.Lifelong Sydney fan Dunkley - the son of 217-game Swans fullback Andrew Dunkley - had chosen them as his club of choice ahead of last years national draft.But when the Bulldogs made a pre-draft bid of 25 for the powerful midfielder, the Swans chose not to match it as they were desperate to retain enough points to land highly-rated academy prospect Callum Mills.Mills has exceeded all expectations in his debut year, winning the Rising Star award, although he remains in doubt for the grand final with a hamstring injury.Dunkley has also had a standout 2016 campaign, playing 16 senior matches, including important roles in the Bulldogs three finals wins over West Coast, Hawthorn and GWS.He holds no grudges against the Swans, but is pretty certain his father will be cheering on the Bulldogs on Saturday.I speak to dad nearly every day, Dunkley said on Monday.Hes obviously been there and done it all before, so to get that experience and knowledge on the game is really good for me.I think hes probably 90-10 - 90 per cent for the Dogs and 10 for the Swans.The last three games have been really special and hes been there to see it first hand.Andrew Dunkleys only grand final for the Swans came in unusual circumstances in 1996.The rugged fullback with the ungainly kicking action had been reported on video evidence for striking Essendons James Hird in the preliminary final, only for the Swans to obtain a Supreme Court injunction preventing the case from being heard until after the grand final.The Swans went on to lose the decider to North Melbourne by 43 points and Dunkley was subsequently suspended for three weeks.In 2005 Barry Hall got reported and I remember dad saying he was in a similar situation when they made the grand final in 1996, said Josh Dunkley of the incident where the Swans spearhead controversially had a striking charge donwgraded, allowing him to play in the 2005 triumph over West Coast.They showed vision of (Andrew Dunkley) on the TV walking in to the tribunal so I found out the whole story then.Now Dunkley junior gets the chance to write his own unforgettable grand final story as the Bulldogs chase a first premiership in 62 long years.

OTTAWA -- Claude Giroux playfully punched Sidney Crosby on the shoulder between drills Tuesday, producing a smile from the Team Canada captain.Was it just four years ago these two guys dropped the gloves in a playoff game?Go around Team Canadas dressing room and youll find a long list of personal rivalries that have been put on hold for the World Cup of Hockey.Or you might say, the hatred has been temporarily shelved for a month.Its pretty easy, Crosby said Tuesday after Day 2 of camp. Thats just the nature of competing and playing against one another. As soon as you put on that jersey, youre on the same team and youre all trying to accomplish the same thing. Its pretty easy. We played world championships last year and had a great experience there. Hes a great player so, yeah, its fun to play with him.Some events are rather fresh. It was just over two months ago in the Stanley Cup finals between the San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins that Logan Couture called Crosby a cheater on faceoffs.Theyve buried that hatchet on that one already.He said, No hard feelings. He understood what we were fighting for, we were down 2-0 in the series, Couture said, smiling, on Tuesday.And what of Corey Perry and Shea Weber? There was a certain forearm shiver that pancaked Perry into the ice in Game 5 of the Anaheim Ducks-Nashville Predators playoff series.I havent talked to him about the hit yet thats all over TV, Perry said with a smile Tuesday. But hell hear about it.And definitely no hard feelings, either, despite a massively physical series between those two star players, Weber trying his best to make sure Perry didnt get to make his normal living in the crease.Weve played together for a long time in different situations and different competitions. Hes a great guy off the ice, Perry said. Were always friends. But on the ice were two competitors and we both dont want to lose.Added Weber: Theres a lot of guys here that play against each other and play against each other a lot. You got to put those things aside. At the same time, a lot of us are friends. Weve played on teams together for a long time. But especially in the playoffs, teams want to win. Hes going to do everything he can to beat me and Im going to do the same against him. At the end of the day, were still going to be friends.Perhaps there is no greater example of putting your country first than the intense rivalry between the Sharks and?Los Angeles Kings. There are four Sharks and two Kings on Team Canada and their last two playoff series left wounds, to be sure.When you play each other in the playoffs, and one of us is crushing the other teams dream of winning a Stanley Cup, youre going to create a rivalry pretty quick, Kings defenseman Drew Doughty said.dddddddddddd Obviously, we played each other so many times in the season trying to battle for first place. Were both very good teams. We play a physical brand of style. Thats going to create battles and hatred for each other. But I respect all four of those guys on this team, theyre all awesome players and Im so happy to get to play with all of them.Add in the Ducks equation in that California triangle of hate and you also have Perry and Ryan Getzlaf on Team Canada. Getzlaf and Joe Thornton famously dropped the gloves during a 2009 playoff series.Its very intense, Thornton said Tuesday of the California hockey rivalries. But theyre all super guys. I see Drew in the summer with golfing and things like that. Ive played with Pears and Getz before. So nothing really changes.So intense again was the Kings-Sharks series, San Jose getting revenge this spring on L.A., that Doughty after the season told Los Angeles media not to overstate his friendship with Couture. a fellow native of London, Ontario.Heat of the moment, Doughty now admits.When we come here, we put that stuff aside, Doughty said when asked about Couture. We never even had to talk about it. Its just gone. Were back to being on the same team like when we were kids, trying to win hockey games together.And yes, theyve seen each other this summer in London.Weve been skating together for a while, Couture said.So, just to be clear, theyre friends, right?Yeah, were friends. Ask him, I think we are, said Couture, chuckling.Crosby and Giroux, despite having the same agent, Pat Brisson of CAA Sports, never really crossed paths off the ice before finally playing together at the 2015 world championships, winning gold in Prague. They got to know each other there and theres a clear sense of respect and admiration there.We enjoy the challenge of playing against each other but we also enjoying paying together, too, Giroux said in French on Tuesday.[Before playing at the worlds], we only knew each other on the ice, and didnt like each other too much, Giroux added with a chuckle. But it made those games fun when you have a rivalry like that with a player. Obviously, off the ice hes a great guy.As Crosby noted, he loves the fact that rugby players will share a beer after an intense match. Team Canadas players have had a few bonding nights here together in Ottawa, putting aside those NHL battles for love of country.Once youre here, youre all buddies, and then once the months done, youre enemies again, Thornton said, laughing. Its kind of funny. Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
