    Dodoro's lunacy is one of the only things that makes the interminable trade week fun. You shut your mouth.

    Yeah, he's the element that breeds the pantomime level outrage that makes it tolerable.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Don't worry, Dodoro will be aiming for another player no doubt, so the circus will continue.

    Maybe he will offer Roarke Smith a million a year a year and can hit them up for a first rounder.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Bailey Smith without a doubt.

    He's always loved JJ.

    Dunks answers some questions here :

    https://www.espn.com/afl/story/_/id/...ream-job-footy

    Looks like he's eyeing rd 18 v Suns for a return.

    And this (may have been posted elsewhere) :

    Do you see yourself playing your entire career at the Bulldogs?

    Last year happened the way that it did, and while you can't really change any of that, for me, I know I've now had some really healthy conversations with everyone involved at the footy club about my future. I'm happy and I feel really settled at the Bulldogs.

    I think that's as close as you'll get to Dunks saying he'll be staying but he's ever the pro and leaves some wiggle room.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Should follow Joel Bowden into politics with an answer like that. But, that’s as close to yes as we could hope for. He’s going to have to back that up with a contract signature within 12 months though.

    Last year happened the way it did (because, you know....my dad) I'm happy and I feel really settled at the Bulldogs (Parish is good now, they've withdrawn the offer).

    I do wonder how much of last year was Liam Pickering pushing the agenda on Dunkleys behalf.

    Still never forget him on the radio talking about Tom Boyd’s contract - “paid for my pool” he said then laughed arrogantly

    Interesting listening to Jongy talking on Tom Boyd's podcast during the week. He commented that when you're long term injured it's hard to feel involved and attending team meetings. Whereas Dunks wants to be at the club all the time and raising questions at the meetings. A real leader. Can't wait for him to get back.

    When the new change rooms were built for the AFLW team (2019), I was invited to a function for foundation members and we had a tour of the new facility. Guess who was there with us walking around and viewing the facilities - Dunks

    Sounds like a guy of questionable character and commitment.

    It's a well known fact that only trouble makers ask questions during meetings. The rest of us know that meetings are just something to be put up with and questions only extend them unnecessarily.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
