Trade Dunkley

The auntie thing was gross.

See what I did there..?

Thanks.

I'm here every night. Two shows on the weekend. Try the fish!

So you're saying that the extra money he'll be getting is 50k per year more than we offered?

Let's say our offer is $650K p.a. gross, across six years that's $3.9M. Take out tax and that's $1.95M net.

Brisbane's offer is $750K p.a. gross, across six years that's $4.5M. Take out tax and that's $2.25M net.

The gross difference p.a. is $100K, net is $50K p.a., but as Mof states only if you're cursed by a shitty accountant.

Just so I'm clear, are you comparing a net figure with a gross figure?

Yes out of laziness to calculate PAYG amounts as I was on my phone. But the point is valid, when you are earning that much, how you invest and how you spend your money is a bigger factor than the extra amount he could earn. There is no way I’m leaving somewhere I even remotely like for that much extra per year, but understands everyone’s circumstances are very different.

Also, it’s very hard to dodge the system no matter how good your accountant is if you are earning PAYG income. He would also have other steams of revenue in sponsorship and appearances fees, which again dilutes the additional salary amount further.

I think for ten per cent I agree with you, but when you start talking 20% it gets a bit more tasty. Especially when your major earning years are likely going to be in the first 30% of your working life.

Anyway, it wasn't a decision about money. He wanted to be closer to his sister, his best mate's partner and child, and his partner's family.

So after tax.

Bulldogs offer @ $650K is nett $374K

Lions offer @ $750K (worst case result as reports are $700 to $750K) is $427K

The difference is 14%.

(In my line of work if someone left every time they were offered 14% more there would be no one left).

Definitely had nothing to do with the Bulldogs.

He loved us.

Pretty much said if you see him and show your membership you can crash at his second house.

50% extra to his stylist.

50% extra to his stylist.

Still not enough

In that order.

This was on Trade Radio earlier. What do people think of this? I’m still not convinced that we need Lobb but hey.

I want more.
I'd rather we separate the deals - 2022 & 2023 first from Brissie for Dunkley, with late 2022 picks going back to the Lions.

Lobb for our second rounder. I'd rather not, but he's contracted so we have to pony up. May even need to add a future pick to the deal.
Bruce went for a 2nd & a 3rd

Basically the same cost we paid for Bruce. It’s a on the higher side. But I could live with it.

Dunkley for less than two first rounders is unacceptable. Unless there’s a player traded to us from Brisbane to cover the future pick only being second round.

Edit: Mof beat me to the punch. What he said!

It sort of works but we aren't getting a decent return for Dunkley.

If Brisbane work hard and get pick 7 for us it creates some opportunities.

Not tonight, Josephine. So begins the media's irritating but predictable underrating of our players at the trade table.

I haven't seen a lot of discussion on exactly how Brisbane are going to get the draft points they need while still offering us something suitable for Dunkley? So far as I can see pick swapping won't get them there and they need to let go of at least one quality player, has anyone seen any reporting on who that might be? We can't become the victim of their problems.

[DOG GOD]

Id want 7 and 15 this year for Dunkley. Bris don’t need them so it makes sense.

I’ll be disappointed with anything else.
