I hate it that players are contracted and are thrown big dollars to move, but we did it with Tom Boyd and offered him a mega deal, so who are we to complain.

I have been expecting clubs to come after our good players, but the interesting thing will be how we handle these situations.

According to Barrett, Essendon have put forward a huge contract to Dunks. The money is always hard to knock back as it sets up the player for life. I don't agree with Soupman that he is surplus to our needs. We need as many A grade players on our list that we can get. At just 23 years of age he has alot of good football left in him.
