A balanced article which confirms my thoughts that he will be a Dog next year and beyond

Re: Trade Dunkley
If that article is correct, surely Dunks isn't on such a low ball deal with us that he'd leave for 650-700k a year?
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Thinking the same.

Re: Trade Dunkley
Yeah that's too low. 900k is a lot but 600 I'm sure he can get here.

Re: Trade Dunkley
Thats the most reassuring "star player might be traded" article I've ever read. Would be very doubtful he'd leave for that.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Another trade week success. Undefeated and undisputed.
Maybe Kyle was their target all along and Josh was the carrot!

Re: Trade Dunkley
Looking forward for Dunks to make a statement or his manager. Either way at least we know without assuming.

Re: Trade Dunkley
I just can't believe that the media think it's ok to offer the fate of Josh's brothers career as incentive to bring him over. I do 100% believe that Essendon would do something like that. But jeez that scum of a club just keeps getting lower and lower with it's pitiful behaviour. I wish Gia all the best and hope he survives with his integrity in tack but Josh, for the love of god, you have a choice and it's pretty obvious.

Re: Trade Dunkley
Agreed 550-600K is a long way from the 900K originally touted. If he's not leaving for money I don't see any other reason for him to leave. I actually don't even think Kyle would be ok with only getting drafted to lure Josh over but if that's what they want I'm sure we can bring Kyle over to Footscray to be with his brother with the caveat that if he plays well he can earn a rookie spot on the main list.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: Trade Dunkley
So how confident is everyone now about Dunkley staying?
I rate Dunks but the reported 900K was way too high

I'm pretty confident he stays. As you've identified, opening up a way out for contracted young stars is only a recipe to encourage other clubs to come head hunting our other young guns.
I don't see anything that would tell me Josh wasn't professional enough to get on with it and complete his contract - even if he was keen to take up Essendon's offer. Nor can I envisage personal relationships have deteriorated to a point that makes it untenable for him to stay.

I feel 70/30 that he stays now. If an offer of 900K was on the table I'd say I have no hope he stays but this new figure does not get Essendon across the line for mine. I don't particularly want Dunks to go but he is replaceable and I'd entertain Tippa and something else good coming back to us for him. We could really use Tippa up forward.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

I am not happy that he hasn't come out and said he is staying. I want this to happen within the next few days - either way.
