Dunkley has a bigger upside and downside - its a bit of a cop out but I think it depends on how much risk you are carrying on the rest of your team. I think Dunkley is best if you have a stable team already in terms of proven premos and low injury risk players; and Dusty is best if you have a more speculative premos or injury prone players.
Agree with this. Also Dunkley’s role seems more likely to change based on recent comments than I would have hoped. Dunkley is cheap if playing midfield, but there’s a decent chance he has a down game due to role, and you can get him similarly cheap down the track if you wish.
I had Dusty as an upgrade target because of potential for a down game, but went Dunkley => Dusty a while back for the certainty.

For mine, not having Dunkley could hurt. Not having Martin is quite unlikely to hurt.
The inverse is true but I think even with a bad midfield split Dunkley is a keeper so really it's just a loss of value, something that Martin has done every year for half a decade, that is the likely downside on Dunkley.
Only other factor is durability where Martin is elite and Dunkley is bad, big preseason though so he's as well set up as he can be. If you've got a lot of other injury prone guys though, Martin probably a better choice.

I'm seeing pretty similar XvYs all over this morning, here's another one:
Fyfe and Dusty
vs
Danger and Walsh
Although if Nick Murray is named and I take him instead of Butts, I can just have Fyfe and Danger... but they are getting old now in footy terms

Daniel > Short > Laird for mine.. Laird not as damaging by foot as the other two and I have Daniel ahead of Short just because he has been more consistent.. Short could have a massive year if left to roam and damage, by far the best kick of the 3..
My x v y is Short v Howe.. have Howe ahead purely because he marks a lot more, especially if he is being 'locked down' by a defensive forward..
