Trade Dunkley

[bornadog]

Can we change this thread name again? Something like "We never really wanted Dunkley to stay anyway. Who needs him?"

Or "The Dunkley Pony Show" in honor of Bevo's speech?

"Trade Dunkley - then pony up "

[GVGjr]

"Trade Dunkley - then pony up "

What about "Giddy up Dunkley, Pony up Brisbane" ?

It's Jee's decision.

"Giddy up Dunkley, Pony up Brisbane" ?

You have the power to change the heading

Given we are open to rolling in a player into the Dunkley trade I wonder if any of these names have some appeal for us?

Lohmann, Robertson or Payne?

Robertson I would. Played well in finals which is a good sign. Still young and plays similar role as Dunks did.

Cam Rayner thanks.

Would be a cheap replacement for Dunks, and we can use picks to upgrade elsewhere. I like it.

Yeah, I'd take him.

Looked comfortable in the heat of some big finals.

All of these guys I see as steak knives, whereas you just know that because of their age Brisbane will see them as key bargaining chips. For that reason I'd be steering clear.

Outside of the obvious targets (Rayner, Bailey, McCluggage, Coleman), I'd be looking at Starcevich and Answerth for that lockdown defender.

Cam Rayner thanks.

Imagine if we landed Rayner, I would be happy with this.

The problem with throwing players into the mix late is there are so many factors that make it unlikely. Happy contracted players probably don't want to move interstate for a start. They have to be players Brisbane are willing to lose and we are interested in. The are a lot of stars that need to align unless we have already been working on someone in the background.

Just change it to Trade Dunkley and end this Twodogs bullshit please......

Strange choice but I like it.

[hujsh]

I'm partial to 'End this Bullshit Please' as a thread name.

Sums up a lot of supporters feelings on the matter quite eloquently

Yep I think the best result for us if including Robertson would be something like:
Dogs get: 1st 2022, 1st 2023, Robertson
Lions get: Dunkley, pick 30, pick 67

That values Dunkley as pick 9 with Robertson as steak knives, and I'm not sure Brisbane will go for it.

That looks ok. Thinking on it (player involved), then I think from their perspective it has to be a position they have depth in (getting Dunkley & Ashcroft), so maybe a mid. And a player whose best value is now, and who is a risk of future trade for less than their current value. Irrespective of gun, good player, young player status.

So if that’s their thinking. Which mid type fits our potential need?
