    He’s clearly getting his info from Essendon. I’m not saying there is no truth in it, but everything skews to the way Essendon want it to happen. And you’re right, if he was out of contract then pick 6-8 would probably do it under different circumstances but he’s not and an early pick is worth bugger all to us this year. It wouldn’t even help us get Finley Macrae

    Maybe it'll be a future first round pick.

    Pick six, seven or eight we could use to on-trade for a player of need but I'd be expecting an additional player or future second in addition to that.

    I wish that I could share your confidence. Somehow the media seem to be able to generate pressure to get these sort of deals both underway, and done. Do we know for certain that Dunks wants out ? I have seen nothing concrete to suggest that, other than suspect media speculation.

    Let’s hope Cameron goes in the draft and Adelaide take him first pick.

    He works with Watson on the 7News.

    As painful as the radio silence is from our side it’s the way to play it. Give em nothing. They need this to happen more than we have interest. If and when Dunks requests a trade that goes public we still play the same hand. I love it that the likes of Tom Browne are pushing an agenda, whether this is as much lead by click-bait copy, where he has no idea the cards that we will play. It’s a good way for us to check in with their rising levels of desperation, including their fan base.

    Personally, I wouldn’t be raising an eyelid to it. WE determine our minimum before agreeing to speak terms with them, which of course must be overs. This should be nothing to do with us presenting or working towards a fair deal for Essendon. And it’s not like there’s any threat of Dunks moving next year. He’s locked into 2 years with us. Pickering won’t want this to play out in the press either, certainly not before he’s comfortable that there is a trade that will satisfy us. If Dunks does formally request a trade, then we do have a perfect opportunity to set ourselves up. Set them a deadline, and if they come up short, shut it all down so that we don’t disrupt our own focus on the trade period. Send a message out to convey our love for Dunks, and that we are confident that he will come to see himself as a Bulldog for Life.

    It’s as if they see it that we are somehow obligated to make this happen for them and indeed Dunks if he does request to leave the kennel. Go back twelve months and see how obligated Essendon saw it to grant Francis and Daniher an escape from their contracts, and that’s from a legitimate sh..hole where Connor McKenna couldn’t wait to escape their spongy matting to a land where COVID is running rampant.

    Re: Trade Dunkley

    One thing I am certain of is that Dunkley, if he does want to move, doesn't have a specific desire to play for Essendon, but rather has a desire to play for Essendon under the terms of the contract and/or role they've offered. There's no shot that he has looked at the club and become enamoured with their direction, their culture or their playing group, and its not like after two years he'll sprint into their waiting arms if other offers are around.

    If a first round pick is the best they can do then we simply must hold firm.

    Re: Trade Dunkley

    From Callum Twomey.

    Essendon's pursuit of Josh Dunkley looks like heating up, while the Dockers eye off a speedy Cat and several quality players remain unsigned for 2021.
    THE STANDOFF between the Western Bulldogs and Essendon will head into the start of this week's Trade Period with star midfielder Josh Dunkley yet to request a trade.

    Dunkley has been weighing up a lucrative long-term deal from the Bombers despite having two years to run on his contract with the Bulldogs, where he played in the 2016 premiership.

    He has been considering the Bombers' approach, with Essendon's pitch to the 23-year-old including its interest in selecting his brother – and former Demon – Kyle as a delisted free agent.

    But Dunkley has not asked the Dogs to be traded to Essendon, despite the Bombers' growing suite of early draft picks giving it plenty of cards to make things happen.

    INDICATIVE DRAFT ORDER Your club's picks as they stand

    The Bombers hold pick No.6 and now No.7 after accepting the free agency compensation for Joe Daniher's move to Brisbane, and are also targeting pick No.8 as part of the deal for Adam Saad.

    Although the Dogs have made it clear they will not entertain a trade for Dunkley, draft picks also have less value for the club given their selections will be absorbed by matching a bid for top Next Generation Academy talent Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, who is expected to attract a bid inside the opening few selections. – Callum Twomey

    Article above also says we enquired about McEvoy but were told to piss off, and that we are interested in Darcy Fort.

    Well at least it’s clear we have that interest.
