    Maybe it should have been Trade Hunter

    Re: Trade Dunkley

    So clearly Comrade has been in touch with his media acolytes and Lachie is now on the table (the guy clearly must love Dunkely to go to this extent for us to keep him).

    How do we leverage this dastardly situation to our benefit? Immediately we need to focus on Brisbane, because in lieu of Comrade's thorough lobbying he's going north.

    So what are the actual trade scenarios we can envisage to get some pace into our midfield and support in defence, or, some pace and forward craft inside fifty?

    Having lived O/S during Brisbane's rise last year, I've only started to watch them in lockdown number two so I'm not across who may be available and good for us. And also tradeable.

    Obviously McCluggage, Rayner and Hipwood are no goes, Berry is too established and has his bro there, and I wouldn't want a draft pick.

    The three I'd be looking at in order would be:

    Zac Bailey. Quick, good ball user and versatile and would really help the link between our forwardline and everything else. Really emerged this year so they'd be reluctant to part with him and he is a SA boy so hard to get but definitely worth trying for.

    Noah Answerth is another I'd look at. Decent medium size defender who is good one on one which is a great point of difference to basically our entire side. Melbourne boy as well. Also would be a great addition to "Bulldogs players who constantly get their names misspelled" like Ryan Hargraves, Ryan Gardiner and Ryan Traitor (oh shit they're all Ryans).

    Alex Witherden. Decent defender, probably not as quick as I'd like but a really good ball user and good rebounder. Would really help with our ball use across the ground and his stocks aren't too high atm as he is right on the fringe with them atm, Geelong boy fwiw.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    You forgot Caleb Daniels....but I get that it didn't fit with the rhythm of your post.

    Re: Trade Dunkley

    So apparently Tom Browne sez that Essendon are making enquiries about Dunkley.

    As mich as their likely first offer of Laverde and a (future) second round pick is tempting, what could we reasonably expect them to drum up?

    I don't think they have the assets to make this worth our time to even consider.

    Draper or Ridley is all I would want from them and they're not giving up either.

    They may end up with some picks for Saad which may be of interest if that is what we want to do.

    Re: Trade Dunkley

    Trade our captains best friend who goes on pre-season training trips with him, a clubman who plays his heart out for the RW&B and one of our best guns on ground?

    Hard pass, doubt it will even happen.

    Would take some serious cahones to get rid of Bont's best mate. Some extra draft picks wouldn't be worth it IMO, would need to be players that fill holes in our best 22.

    Yeah, I don't like it either.

    Re: Trade Dunkley

    It depends on if we now see him more as a forward and a relief ruckman than a genuine midfielder
    I definitely wouldn't trade him unless a ridiculously good offer was made and Vred makes some good points about him being close to the captain

    Hypothetically would you trade Dunkley for Josh Kelly?

    Re: Trade Dunkley

    Perhaps there’s some missing info here. Maybe this is essendons demands to someone we have enquired about? Who was a fringe player for them this year that didn’t get a game?
