Trade Dunkley

[bulldogtragic]

Sam Edmund is reporting that there is a real standoff between Ambrogio and Power and given the trades yesterday there has been no progress made.
Power said to be considering not doing a trade with Lions.

We were reluctantly resigned to losing him for the two first rounders this year and next but the Lions wanted our 2nd and 3rd round picks this year back in that scenario.

More to play out here.

Good news. The club is holding firm. Let fear get into Dunkley and his manager and see where their pressure for the trade lands with Brisbane. Go on, bet that Sam Power is bluffing Ambrogio.

We apparently met last night and decided we won't budge and we are not opposed to drafting Dunkley in the PSD ahead of the Lions.

I'm happy for the club to play serious hardball with the Dunkley trade. If we get nothing so be it. But they are offering up serious rubbish at the moment. They knew their position and committed to Dunkley. I have no idea how they thought they were going to get this done.

Good move to ratchet up the media pressure.

Great response by the club. Brisbane get serious, or get nothing. I'm happy with that as our position.

Good move to ratchet up the media pressure.

The volume got cranked up no doubt.

Pickering and Dunkley will need to apply some pressure here.

Wanting our 2nd and 3rd rounders back when we still are expecting to trade for Lobb is especially rich. Given we're willing to be reasonable and take what they have (had) despite being less than what we think is fair it's a slap in the face.

C'mon GWS you know you want him. Offload Whitfield somewhere for cap space and send us some juicy picks for the Dunk Trunk

I mean, he hasn't requested the Suns but could we deal with them? I know he has to sign, but if it's Suns or PSD and maybe North, surely he'd do it?

Any chance Dunkley just signs on for next year with us.

He then gets to be the prime free agent for 2023 and lots of Brand Dunkley exposure.

'Not going anywhere': Lions won't let former No.1 pick go

One man that Lions football manager Danny Daly said was not up for grabs was former No.1 pick Cam Rayner.

Daly said both he and list manager Dom Ambrogio had repeatedly spoken to Rayner in the past two weeks to convince the 22-year-old they had no intention of even entertaining a move after reports speculating it was something the club should look into.

"We haven't spoken to anyone about it because he loves this footy club, we love him, he's not going anywhere," Daly said.

"In fact, we're getting his brother up to play in our VFL team hopefully next year.

"We've got high hopes for Cam coming off a year with his knee surgery. We feel he can go to another level next year and be a really important player for us.

"He's not going anywhere. I can end that speculation right now."

Daly said after Brisbane had spent the early part of Trade Period splitting picks to gather more points ahead of the draft, the Lions would soon move on to acquiring Hawk Jack Gunston and Bulldog Dunkley.

A great man already floated this idea and got no traction.

Firstly he had to agree to go to Gold Coast, secondly do they even have the cap space?

If this is true this is a disaster. To lose Dunkley for nothing would be an absolute disgrace

I like this response as it sows the seed to get Rayner as part of the Dunkley deal.

His brother can then stay home and play for Footscray.

If they involve a player Lohman looks a more likely target. I could live with a future first, Lohman and a second or future second.
