Trade Dunkley

[Happy Days]

Why are we being critical of the club over speculation? The facts are that we signed a good player to a long term deal, he's been promoted to a VC and leadership role and one of his best mates is the captain of the club.

We’ve earned the rep G.

[Bullies]

We can't get bent over here. We have all the cards.

I like Dunks as a player but he is not the type you pay $950k for. He is not elite. This will come back and bite Essendon.

We can use the picks to get the elite key defender/ruckman. We need to go hard at the other clubs like they do to us.

Where is 950k a season coming from? I’m sure it’s not that high.

What would Dunks be on now?

Apologies $900k

$4.5m over 5 years

Mail i got was his salary would double

[Bullies]

Big commitment too by Essendon putting his brother on the list when the lists will be smaller next year and he hasn't exactly shown he can play.

I'd be surprised if he's not on a bit more than $450K but if that's what he's signed on to for another two years no wonder he wants to take up the EFC offer.

Clearly show they’re desperate. Then they’ll turn around and say pick 17 or something which won’t match their desperation. It’ll be great being in control.

They can afford to given how rubbish their list is.

I'd like to see us head hunt a player, only time I can recall doing it is with Boyd after we lost Griffen. Are we overpaying some of our mid tier players?

If this is all true, why wouldn't a 23 year old take $4.5 million. It is not lack of good management by our club as some are alluding to, it is a tough decision for the kid. We hold the aces though with the contract.

PS: Rhylee West suddenly gets more games in midfield.

[ledge]

We can just lengthen his contract, it’s not like we wouldn’t anyway, I don’t think that’s a risk at all, maybe add some more dollars to it and bombers are done.

Great point about West. We missed him this year.

When I said that ten hours ago you disagreed with me!

[G-Mo77]

I don't blame him if that is what they're offering him. Pack ya bag Dunks and good luck. All that said it's about time the AFL did something about clubs talking players out of contracts. If this shit continues then clubs should have the power to pull the trigger on trades without players consent.
