Trade Dunkley

[hujsh]

I am not happy that he hasn't come out and said he is staying. I want this to happen within the next few days - either way.

On one hand, yes.

On the other he's not obligated to speak against every rumour associated with him.

[Grantysghost]

So how confident is everyone now about Dunkley staying?

I rate Dunks but the reported 900K was way too high

I'm not sure why we instantly believe the lowered figure granted it does seem more reasonable. Usually the truth lies somewhere in between, so I wouldn't be surprised if the offer was 750-850. I'm not sure; there's something to it however I'm still 70-30 he stays. The brother thing seems too bizarre to be true. Considering he has two years to run, it would have to be an amazing deal for us to consider letting him leave. My guess he says he's interested to the club and is there any chance they would deal, they say no and it dies from there.

Surely Stevo could give him a bell and get the scoop

Exactly. Besides, we've posited our response circa the CEO anyway which roughly translates as nice try dickheads, now run along and resume tending to your steaming pile of a list.

It's taken a while since 2016 to rebuild a strong leadership group, and Dunkley seems to have been at the forefront of the new wave. For this reason alone, I would be incredibly disappointed to see him go.

I agree but this has been a fairly heavy and persistent rumour. I thought, 900k, ok any sane person would have to consider an opportunity to double ones income. But it's not that. So I'm a bit concerned he hasn't put it to bed. I would have thought if he was 100% staying this would have happened by now. The silence, to me, means he's at least considering things.

The silence is the issue here. Essendon have a truckload to be able to front end the contract for the next 2 years as part of a 5 year deal.

He is most likely enjoying a holiday up North and not even thinking about it at this stage.

Really keen to hear Adam Cooney's completely neutral take on a Bulldogs player moving over to Essendon.

It's not just the floors, even the coffee's better in Tullamarine!

Very interested to hear the thoughts of someone who left the Bulldogs for Essendon only to watch the Dogs win the flag. Should be good.

[EasternWest]

If that article is correct, surely Dunks isn't on such a low ball deal with us that he'd leave for 650-700k a year?

There's a financial tipping point he couldn't say no to, and 650-700 ain't it.

On another note that just occurred to me: it's amazing how we can discuss such massive dollars in such a blase fashion.
