    Thanks for your service Dunks and enjoy your next job.

    The Lions just don't have any as they've committed to f/s stuff.

    If you could choose the worst club for him to nominate this season it's the Lions.

    I agree I'm glad it's done.

    I’m taking a silver lining approach to this. The money this frees up will be good for us in the long run. We’re losing a player from a line we bat very deep at and we’re likely to bring in more first round picks off the back of it.

    Thanks for your service Josh. Hope you never win a final up north.

    Good point chef. Despite all the shenanigans Dunks walks away a Bulldog legend. Part of the squad that delivered our 2nd premiership. Wish him all the best.

    True but Magic Power will work his stuff and make sure we don’t get ripped off.

    At the end of the day this is just a job to the players and you have the try and take the emotional attachment off them.

    Its sad thats how it is now, but I guess cheer the jumper not the guy in it.

    This is the best take, as long as we get a good return. Last sentence I really wish for.

    He’s definitely given us a ton of material to work with from the outer next year at least.

    If the choice is between a future first and nothing but he goes to North then I’d honestly rather the latter. We gotta use this to make us better right now while Bont is still the best player in the league.

    First and future first for Dunkley & later picks this year to help them match bids.
    They may lose little in total points this year on this trade.

    100% has to work in our favour. Brisbane need to come to the party

    This, I still think we can cover the loss and it doesn't hurt as much as we think it will. As long as our coach doesn't fill the hole with a McComb type I think we'll be fine.
