Trade Dunkley

I thought you understood that football is not objective.

I was about to edit my comment to reflect the "Happy Days objectivity rule" but you've beaten me to the punch.

I'd be keen to see how Stevo handled the Tom Boyd trade all those years ago. I might be wrong, but I can't imagine him explicitly saying 'great job, hope it happens'.

So the one I really struggle with is Geelong give up picks 13 and 15 for pick 7 and then give GWS a future 1st round for Cameron on top of that. Effectively they are handing away 3 first round picks for Cameron. Seems to be overs to me

Geelong's trade with West Coast for Kelly Geelong received selections 14, 24 and 37 in the 2019 AFL national draft and the Eagles first selection in the 2020 AFL national draft in return for Kelly, Geelong’s pick 57 in the 2019 AFL national draft and a third-round selection in 2020. Is Dunkley with 2 years on his contract worth similar?

"I hope it happens".

This is so unprofessional coming from an accredited AFL media reporter.

So Browne is barracking for an outcome that sees another Club / Player Manager break what has been a significant investment by our Club into a player that is held in the highest regard having been promoted to the leadership group at such a young age, and only signed a 3 year contract with us last year, and by all accounts from Josh's own words on his Instapage how much he loves our Club.

I tweeted to him why does he hope it happens. No reply.

Never thought I'd see a legit comparison between a current day player and Alan Partridge. Great pick-up.

Ah Ha!! Rolling the ball....Rolling the ball.

Anyone else get huge Alan Partridge vibes with the way he writes?

Hi Soupaman-Who is this you are quoting? Power?

How spot on. Thank you for the post - made my day.

A great job at what?

A great job at drip feeding this strange, sad unit with intel.

I'd be more comfortable with Dunkley leaving if McLean was available next year.

True he was the other one missing midfield minutes I couldn't think of. Our depth would feel much better with him in the wings

Play our cards right and we could fill the gaps.

But fill the gaps with who? Guys being pushed from other clubs or Avge players in general like Hannan and Lonie ?

So how many games had he been rucking and not playing mid minutes by then, to a demoralizing point, such that he was receptive to moving to another club? 6-7 games in a weird season was his breaking point?

Probably coupled with HUB Life where he would get to see teammates warts and all.

Funnily enough Essendon shared the hub with the Dogs for a period also.

I asked the question of this very thread a few weeks back wonder what happened in the hub to start this.

He is so Dumb

Isn't he a lawyer by trade?

[bulldogtragic]

Maybe 5,907 days since winning a final makes Dunkley think it is over due to break? Maybe he’s to used to playing finals, and winning finals. He was 7 years old when they last won a final. Surely it’s a money thing.
