    Re: Trade Dunkley

    I truly hate trade talk, but for me trading Dunks is a non negotiable NO !

    It might be old fashioned, but I believe in loyalty to the quality clubmen that we have. That's why I really love Wally & Libba, they are heart and soul players. Dunks is likewise.

    And Dunks, Macrae and Bont are our A-listers, IMHO our only three A-listers. I cannot believe you could/would find anyone better for what he delivers (fully fit) in the comp.
    The truth will set you free,
    but first it will piss you off. ... Gloria Steinem.

    I understand what you're saying about Richards, but think with a bit of thinking he could overcome his deficiencies and while he's played fifty games he's still only 21 so there's hope.
    Yeah, it's all dependent on the player being happy to leave.

    And on that, I can't foresee any possibility where Dunkley would be putting his hand up to be traded.

    Good question, but I don't know the answer to it as I haven't watched Williams closely enough

    I would not dare give up Smith. English is big yes to give up over Hunter.

    Yes he is. He has elite foot skills, something that JJ can be hit and miss on. Williams is a tough bugger as well.

    As for his midfield adaptability, he did it on the big stage of last year's PF against Collingwood. It was a brilliant, destructive performance against a top shelf opposition midfield.

    Williams is a jet.

    Agree, but how would we get him?

    I haven't watched him that closely but is there a question mark on his durability?

    He's a restricted free agent this year and has put all contract negotiations on hold. It's the worst kept secret that he's highly unlikely to stay with GWS because they don't have the cap space to reward him commensurate with his real worth, and they have Jeremy Cameron higher in the re-signing pecking order this year. They have paid through the nose to re-sign Kelly, Whitfield and Coniglio in the last couple of years, so their salary cap is precarious at best.

    Williams is very gettable this year.

    Good question. He has missed a few games in the past but has had more continuity in the latter years of his career. I don't think he has chronic issues but I stand to be corrected by those in the know.

    There are a few players I wouldn't trade, so sorry you are incorrect in what you thought I said

    Just has a look, he missed most of 2018 and some games this year. I'll have a look and see if I can work out the type of injuries he's had

    Re: Trade Dunkley

    No deal for mine. When he peaks he'll be better than Macrae and Bont isnt going to have a long career imo(his hip looks like shortening his career).

    Are we forgetting how good he is when fit and firing?
    The curse is dead.
