Trade Dunkley

[jeemak]

I want to actually hear from Dunkley saying I am happy at the Club and will honour my contract. I am here for the long haul.

But, why do you want to hear this? He's obviously interested and it's completely out of his hands............

What I want to hear is I've been offered a great deal to move and if a deal can be done that meets the needs of all parties to either stay or otherwise then I'll consider it respectfully.

At least that would be honest.

For debate sake, reading the tea leaves, and putting 2+2 and getting 6, who do we prefer on our playing list?

Lachie Hunter or Josh Dunkley?

For mine on field it is Lachie Hunter.

For mine on field it is Lachie Hunter.

Under rated is Lachie even from some of our own supporters. Plays a specific role and does it very well.

[1eyedog]

Yeah Hunter for sure. Josh isn't even in our best half dozen players. Expect Dunks to demand a trade this week.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Hunter by a fair margin.

He's much, much harder to replace. I just wish he could nail the shots he has at goal.

The inside mid version of Dunks we had in late 2019 was a devastating player. If he is available I will take him - genuine goal-kicking mid who changes the game with his work around the contest. Further to that, he enables Bont to play that inside/out role he is so effective at...the challenge is, where does Liber play if we play Dunks in that role?

They can play 50/50.

Could Libba play as an in-and-under small forward? He reads the play so well and would be brilliant as a defensive forward with his tackling. Might also be better on his knees ... give him a couple more years at the Dogs??

Seems very quiet today after Sams statement yesterday.
Media jumping onto other stories about who the bombers are chasing.

I’d be worried that both wallis and Libba would severely slow what we already have as a slow fwd line. I still think Libba is best in the middle, where his hands are elite.

Dunkleys manager will soon be on trade radio on the AFL site.

[DOG GOD]

On now

On now

Confirmed they’ve asked for a trade to Essendon.

[comrade]

Confirmed they’ve asked for a trade to Essendon.

Makes it hard for Dunks to save face and stick with the Bulldogs when the manager goes public like that.

Hopefully it backs Essendon into a corner and they bend over.

[DOG GOD]

Ok, speaking with Pickering...

1) Dunks has asked to be traded to the Bombers
2) dogs are saying no, he’s required
3) dunks is very keen to get to Essendon.
4) wants to play as a mid, not a 2nd ruck. Can adapt to a role, but more opportunity to play as a mid at Essendon
5) nothing happened at the hub to warrant a trade.
6) the move is “purely on field”
