    Re: Trade Dunkley

    I hate it that players are contracted and are thrown big dollars to move, but we did it with Tom Boyd and offered him a mega deal, so who are we to complain.

    I have been expecting clubs to come after our good players, but the interesting thing will be how we handle these situations.

    According to Barrett, Essendon have put forward a huge contract to Dunks. The money is always hard to knock back as it sets up the player for life. I don't agree with Soupman that he is surplus to our needs. We need as many A grade players on our list that we can get. At just 23 years of age he has alot of good football left in him.

    Stumbles on thread on WOOF

    Assumes that because fans discuss the logic that Dunkley is gettable.

    Questions from his/her own limited intellect ... which club could really use Josh Dunkley

    .. answers rhetorical question clearly Essington

    Starts story that Dunkley may be gettable and Essington would be interested..

    Essington asked if they would be interested and answer is Yes Please!!

    Story now has legs and official rumourmonger has clicks plus Essington fans all in love with the idea.

    Can now keep stoking until end of trade period.
    So this whole story is jeemak's fault?

    Stupid, sexy jeemak.

    I’d be astounded if this story isn’t being fed to journos from somebody at Essendon, trying to speak it into existence. It’s an industry where to get good info, you have to do favours and that includes throwing stories out there to benefit the people who scratch your back. It is and has always been thus.

    Barrett reckons there’s a massive offer in front of him from Essendon. Still don’t see why we would do it but this is probably more reason for pause than before.

    Hmm. If the noise doesn't go away soon I might have to take notice of it.

    Be crazy not to take that coin.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    No remember it's mercenary and he should be loyal to the club.

    If they're willing to pay him that, have to say he would mad not to take it.

    So let’s say he takes that offer (it has to be tempting for him!) then what do we get? Surely 2x 1st rounders and some steak knives in Hurley.

    Hurley has stated today his seeing his contract out with Essenton.

    Essendons deal to Shiel was 6x800k.
    Dunkleys deal seems 5x900k

    Shiel was contracted for one more year when he was poached and heading into FA. Dunkley is younger, contracted for longer and even when his contract expires wont be a FA.

    Shiel got GWS two top 10 picks. I expect the Dunkley deal to be the same. We'd have to be turning those picks into MATURE PROVEN players and not taking them to the draft because they'll just get eaten up by JUH anyway.
