Trade Dunkley

[Grantysghost]

Mitch Cleary and Brendon Goddard speaking about Dunkley this morning here https://media.whooshkaa.com/show/912...ode/752587.mp3

It's a reasoned discussion. Summary

- From what Goddard knows it has legs, Josh has some issues with the club apparently (doesn't go into any detail so hard to know if true) and is receptive to a move.
- Players unlikely to go public now due to Daniher, Papley situations last season. So Josh won't request trade unless a good deal has already been arranged.
- We don't want picks as absorbed by NGA bid (Jamarra)
- Came about through contacting managers of targeted players and there was some interest from Josh's camp
- Rate it unlikely as Dogs adamant not happening.

Everyone has a theory.

I wonder where he's getting his inside information from...……….definitely wouldn't be the club he most recently played for.

I listened to it and he was pretty balanced to be honest. They all laughed at the suggestion that the deal could be done for a single first and Goddard all but said his intel was coming from Essendon directly

Yes agree HD, it was a pretty measured discussion.

There seems to be quite a shift in the AFL media tone today from what has been previously been a fait accompli of Dunks moving to Essendon. Sounds like our stance of not moving on it is starting to hit the spot which is where we need it to be to see just how far the Bombers are prepared to go.

Most of the media are Essendon centric.

Yep plus a general mentality that the 'big' clubs have some right of passage over the lesser lights. We hold all the cards in this, and I hope we play it out all the way to our strength.

Isn’t there a post somewhere detailing who in the media goes for each team? It would be good to revisit it.

I'm not sure but I think Mark Stevens supports us, I'm not sure that has been confirmed though. Twodogs may have mentioned it

He does a good job of hiding it, Stevo. Very impartial, barely has a thing to say about the Dogs.

Now that you mention it he does get a few exclusives for us.

Contracts involve the law and the law is blind. It doesn't care about big clubs or little clubs.

Stevo is as fanatical a bulldog supporter as you and I. I've sat at the media table with him at the club's Season Launch a couple of times. He's a really nice guy.

I played Golf with him and Bob Murphy, and can confirm a nice bloke.
