    Re: Trade Dunkley

    I'm pretty confident in Sam's ability to navigate this. He's earned his stripes since taking on the role, and I've no reason to suspect he's going to get us caught out here.

    Brisbane are not engaging in good faith negotiations and their lack of professionalism in ensuring they were adequately prepared to
    pay the bill, despite knowing full well all year they needed to factor in the capital required to bit on two father/son's.

    I'd be hoping Josh's manager is pretty p1ssed at Brisbane's opening ambit claim and moves.

    For a side that will legitimately challenge next year? We absolutely should hold firm.
    They'd also have better picks to offer. Their unders would be closer to Brisbane's best offer

    I'm guessing Sam has asked the questioned on Cam Rayner with the lions coming out he is going no where?

    Pickers works for SEN who broke the tory (via Edmund).
    He's absolutely pissed otherwise the issue never sees the light of day

    You can't have your cake and eat it too. The only way now is they have to trade out someone good and either we are interested, or they open the market and get back a pick in first round.

    I am sure Power and the club are not going to bend on this.
    This is why I think Bris had no intention of using pick 15 in the Dunkley deal.
    I just can’t see us getting anything than their future first and a non best 26 player
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    Furthermore they said they will concentrate firstly on Gunston THEN Dunkley. Maybe they are taking Bevo's good will towards Dunkley as a weakness. Wrong. Pony up or shut up.

    Same here, there is still plenty of time for something decent to shake loose.
    It's up to Dunks manager to apply some pressure here because they don't want to have to wait until the PSD so see where he lands.

    No problems if the club becomes stubborn shits here. Brisbane want a special player and we believe they should pony up so we can't give a premiership contending team a free hit here.

    Having 2 first rounders either this year or next plus a best 22 player is probably the best outcome for us.

    Heard Silvangi say Dunks is worth up to pick 10 in a trade. He went on to say late first rounders are not nearly worth as much.

    Definitely.

    I have thought from the get go there's no way the Lions can pay for this deal.

    Nothing has changed my mind.

    How Dunkley and his management could look at their draft hand, the father sons coming in and other players like Gunstan and believe they had the capital is beyond me.

    Can't be that stupid?

    I think Dunks is very narrow in his thoughts. Not having a go at him, it can be a great thing in terms of professionalism and effort, however anything a bit abstract is not his forte.
