    Re: Trade Dunkley

    The only way if this has any legs to it is if we don't see Dunkley as a midfielder anymore and want to play him more as a forward with some time in the ruck

    Failing that, he won't get traded

    I don't really want anyone from Essendon. They've all been too red pilled to ever meaningfully contribute to winning football.
    We may be able to leverage a three way trade I guess. But it does seem fanciful, he is a pretty popular team member and we aren't exactly known for being mercenaries at the trade table with our players. Quite the opposite.

    The idea of trading Dunkley is ludicrous, who came up with this garbage suggestion ?

    I view it as all part of an EFC PR smokescreen to distract from Daniher, Fantasia and Saad wanting out

    If you dont like the conversation, you change the conversation, and thats what this rumour does

    Ouch.

    I'm guessing we've been sniffing out Tippa again.

    I'm all for retaining fabric and wouldn't be keen on entering a trade for Dunks. And another of our premiership players.

    For the sake of hypothetical trade discussion only, and given the rumour mongering of player movements:
    Dunkley - Essendon
    Merrett - Collingwood
    Treloar - Dogs

    Seems like a sideways move for us. I'd only consider moving Dunkley if it filled one of our gaping holes with an A-grade type in ruck, key defence or general forward.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Possibly but adding some outside leg speed around the stoppages would be beneficial to us. Smith and Treloar on the outside seems a step up. Again, Dunks is a fabric player, like Libba. These players add so much more than filling a certain skill profile.

    Dunkley is better than Treloar, has functioning hamstrings and isn't on over $1m a year.

    17 and 40 for Dunkley apparently. Or Hurley.

    Is this what we look like to opposition supporters?
