Trade Dunkley

[The Bulldogs Bite]

How does his profile build if he goes to a non-AFL market like Brisbane or a small country town like Adelaide?

Big fish, small pond.

Adelaide. Yes.
Brisbane. Big fish in the wrong pond.

No shortage of grubs playing for the Lions.

The speculation was when he first requested a trade it was due to the way some of our boys behaved up in Brisbane during isolation. For someone who is professional in their preparation it was hard for him to accept a less than professional approach by some of his team mates.
I guess the 2 years since the initial request perhaps he still has those concerns. His best mates are at the club but there could be a small group that are distracted and are not giving their all and maybe he doesn't feel the club is doing enough to lift the standards.

I think it's naive of him to think other clubs don't have the same distractions.

We've apparently put a very good offer in front of him so we aren't out of the running just yet but it's certainly appears to be leaning the way of a departure. I have to wonder if we had won the GF last year if it still would have been hard to get his signature now.

Are we really that keen to keep him? I reckon we have acknowledged that we have have too many mids. Feel wise Dunks isn't the one to move on but he is the one keen to go.

2. He dated Miss Universe Oz.

Doesn't hold a candle to George Best

"They say I slept with seven Miss Worlds. I didn't. It was only four. I didn't turn up for the other three."

We actually were in a window, we just didn't know it yet.

I can prove we weren't:

Shane 'Never forget' Biggs wasn't at the club in 2014.
Checkmate!

When did pre season start for 2015?

[G-Mo77]

Sounds like everyone has a different reason to smear him haha.

If he leaves I wish him all the best. Forever a Bullgod.

Supporters are probably more hurt than anything. I'm sick of the whole will he stay or will he go rubbish and really looking forward to seeing the end of it all.

A Bulldog Premiership player so I'll always be grateful, it's just a disappointing finish to his stay here.

When did pre season start for 2015?

After the 2014 H&A season had ended and Griff was gone

After the 2014 H&A season had ended and Griff was gone

It started without a senior coach. Rohan Smith took the mantle and was responsible for putting the players through their programs.

I think that we should ease up on some of the comments about Dunkley. He hasn't said one way or the other about whether he will stay or go and trade week is still more than a fortnight away. He's still a bulldog until he says otherwise and is traded out.

[Go_Dogs]

I suspect Dunkley is waiting to see the outcome of finals and what offers stack up. If Brisbane lose this week because of their midfield, they’ll pony up. If they somehow win through to the GF, maybe it’s not as big a priority for them considering they’d lose at least one of their top 6 players as a result (and we’d be stupid to do a deal for anything but). Sydney potentially in the same boat.

Our offer and Port’s offer would be tabled.

Let’s wait and see what happens… I’m leaning towards he’s probably gone, but other things could still happen that change other club’s priorities.

Boys and Girls Dunkley is gone 100% make no mistake.
