Trade Dunkley

[SquirrelGrip]

Happy to offload either of Dale or Schache as part of the deal if it means they accept a second round pick.

They’d want Ed Richards ahead of those two.

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.

If the deal was to go through I think they've thrown out the 300K mark because when it ends up being 200K or 250K it looks like a small win for them.

What ever happens, and whatever the deal ends up being the Pies have done an appalling job with their player payment and I hope the AFL investigates them

The pies have managed the narrative around Treloar about as well as we (mostly Bevo) managed the messaging on Stringer.

I tried to repress that trade period but I think the Pies have been even worse. Beyond the complete weirdness of senior players apparently saying they want Treloar gone (disputed by Bucks), all the leaks about other players on big money and the squeeze on their overall cap, i.e. Stephenson also being pushed to look at other deals, has just trashed player market value and been a complete s*** show.

Good for us if we can leverage a massive win out of it.

The article dropped just now says Buckley and the leadership group want him out. And they also need salary cap relief. Treloar's management seem to be leaking that he doesn't want to go back to Collingwood under any circumstances. It might not be Apple for Apple, perhaps a Small Orange for Mandarin. Whatever the bargaining position, it looks like a great opportunity is in the making.

I wonder why. I heard he doesn't like harsh criticism.

They can have all 3, just send some late picks back

Apparently he goes out drinking with Bucks and boys and enters into 'shouts', but when it's his shout he says he's going to the toilet and bolts. I couldn't stand for that either.

My mistake I assumed your comment was about Dunkley and didn't read the quote properly.

Yes the two are not miles apart in similarity I can agree with you on that.

Cal Twomey:

Essendon has approached Western Bulldogs this morning and reopened talks on a deal over Josh Dunkley. The clubs hadn't spoken since Monday, when the Dogs dismissed Essendon's offer of pick 8 (which at that stage they didn't even have).

Cal Twomey:

First to buckle.

I just hope we don't feel generous by giving them anything back for x2 first round picks.

Essendon are desperate for a good news story that they can sell to their idiotic fan base after losing Sad/Fantasia/JD. Let's be strong and take advantage.

Dodo trying the old trick, leave it to the last minute.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Haha pick 8. He didn't even offer the 1st of their 3 first round picks.

One he can’t.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Apparently we mentioned to Dodo that he thought a contracted Danniher was worth two first rounders last year so that's what he needs to pay for a contracted Dunkley. Love it.

Old ways coming back to bite him!
