Trade Dunkley

[bornadog]

Sam Edmund reporting:

COLLINGWOOD will today be asked to fork out as much as $300,000 a season to see the back of Adam Treloar.

Treloar’s future will be determined by how much the Magpies are willing to pay to see the midfielder play for the Western Bulldogs next season.

While there is no formal offer on the table from the club, the Bulldogs are prepared to pay Treloar $600,000 a season for the next five years.

That leaves a gap of around $1.5 million on what Treloar is owed by Collingwood and what the Dogs are willing to pay.

Will the Pies pay $1.5 million - $300,000 a year – over the next five years just to get Treloar out of the club?

Treloar, 27, doesn’t want to leave a cent on the table given he has long been owed a significant sum of money.

So if the two clubs can’t come to an agreement he is happy to go back to Collingwood despite coach Nathan Buckley telling him that he and senior players want him to move on.

It is hoped by the Treloar camp that one more year at Collingwood would see more options available to him in 12 months’ time.

But at the same time, he is excited about the prospect of joining the Bulldogs and was impressed by coach Luke Beveridge during their meeting on Tuesday.

The Dogs insist they have the capacity to bring in Treloar and keep wantaway midfielder Josh Dunkley.

The Bulldogs remain steadfast over their refusal to release Dunkley to Essendon for anything other than two good first round picks.

It’s understood the club is united from board level down to hold Dunkley to a contract that has two years to run if the Bombers don’t come to the party.

Essendon, for their part, are adamant they will not be offering two first round picks and say they will be “bankrupting” the club by doing so.

Yet the Bombers are confident they can eat into the Bulldogs resolve and get Dunkley in the door before 7.30pm.

The Western Bulldogs have picks 14, 41 and 54 in this year’s national draft. Pick 14 would appear to form the spine of any trade for Treloar given the Bulldogs have academy prodigy Jamarra Ugle-Hagan waiting in the draft.

So far so good with the talk coming from us regarding both Treloar and Dunkley.

[DOG GOD]

At least the dogs are taking a stance somewhat. Over to you Collingwood.

[bulldogtragic]

I felt good if Dunk's stays and this made me feel even better.

When a player says he wants to leave, like Daniher last year, they'll probably leave the next year uncontracted and for less favourable trade terms than the 'under contract' offer. Which for Daniher was two first rounders last year, and just the one this year. That's the risk of refusing a trade.

But... If Dunkley stays and next year wants to leave again. He's still under contract next year and his value is unlikely to decline, it could even get better if he is played to his strengthes. We can say 'no' again next year to an unsatisfactory offer and still not lose him.

Good spot to be in, if you're the Western Bulldogs.

[DOG GOD]

I’ve got a feeling we will bend a little for dodo.

[Doc26]

We get the rabble's two first round picks or "tell them they're dreamin". Zero softening. If we could get Treloar for max $600k nett it might be good as he will have something to prove to Collingwood for dumping him. Similarly Martin reckons he was cut loose early, he will also have something to prove to Fagan. He is a good pick up to compliment and mentor English and Sweet, is an intelligent bloke and a seems a good person

I didn't realise it possible that Goddard could trump himself by being more of a knob than what he was in his playing days. Well he's succeeded. His rabid defense that Dunkley is worth no more than a single first to Essendon is grating to the ears. The daily De Stoop / Goddard segment on Trade Radio is horrendous listening unless you're from the radical side of BomberBlitz. And then there's Cooney to come

As far as I'm concerned the Sports Entertainment Network, are in breach of Section 4 of the "Commercial Radio Code of Practice", without providing disclosure of Goddard's and Cooney's role in their ongoing promotion of Essendon's position.

Asking Collingwood to pay $300k while only giving up a second round pick for Treloar would (on face value) go down as one of the great deals. Can't see Pies going for it myself.

Then don't bite off more than you can chew. Fancy going after a player with 2 years left on their contract and then saying you don't want to pay up. I mean what did they expect was going to happen?

And then if no deal can be struck next year, when he is out of contract in 2022 we can still demand appropriate compensation as Essendon have done this year with Saad.

Many said we wouldn't trade AA Premiership Player Jake 'The Package' Stringer for just two second rounders.

In 8 hours we will know.

No they certainly wouldn't. Moreso the paying of 300k a year for five years. But I guess it truly depends how badly they have stuffed up their payments.

[bulldogtragic]

Yep. We are holding all the ace cards. Sam knows it, Josh knows it, Dodoro knows it.

Yeah, hard to see them agreeing to it. I also think the more the Pies pay, the higher trade price they can rightfully demand.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

I'm still surprised the bombers didn't go after an uncontracted Jack Steele. Maybe they did and he told them no. But they could have thrown a hell of a load of cash that was too good to knock back. He only signed a short term deal with the saints.

We wanted Stringer out though for well documented reasons. He was also raising a stink saying he'd not come back to the Dogs next year. This is a little bit different as far as our bargaining position.
