Trade Dunkley

[ledge]

Stevo loves his bulldogs , I’ve heard the journos accuse him of sleeping outside Whitten oval.
Nice bloke very approachable.

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

A few exclusives for us or from us?

[Vred]

Here's a hot take for you.

''So on fox trading John Ralph reckons pick 8 is enough for saad and pick 8 is overs for Dunkley, these guys have lost the plot, also Tom Morris reckons Dunkley wants to leave as there is a bad culture at the bulldogs and the players arnt professional but goes on to say he will not request a trade''

I wonder if this is true. And if so who are the culprits?

[Grantysghost]

Well that makes sense now. He wants to go where professionalism seeps out like Thymosin from a dodgy Dank clinic and players have physiques akin to Adonis himself!

[I'm Not Bitter Anymore!]

Can’t unsee that

I think it’s likely Dunkley will be traded.

Trade period officially starts Wednesday 4th November and ends Thursday 12 November.

Surely a trade needs to be done by the weekend to allow us enough time to in-trade the picks we receive?

Whats a fair trade for Dunkley?

Whats a fair trade for Dunkley?

No idea.

At least pick 6? The complicating issue is we don’t need a first round draft pick we need established players and in particular an elite key defender or established ruckman.

These guys really make up stuff don't they.

Whats a fair trade for Dunkley?

Two first rounds, if you want to compare other trades like Dunkley.

Essendon don’t have any players we need, if we could do a three way swap for a needed position (ruck) I’d consider it, but seriously, don’t want to.

The Trading Day show on Fox were very damning saying Dunkley isn't happy with the culture and the professionalism by some of the players at the club. He has apparently raised it with Bevo over the years.

As an outsider, I think you could look at some of our older and more experienced players (mostly traded in) and question how hard they might be working.

You could also look at the players who struggled for a game this year - Schache, Le Young, Trengove - and question how hard they were working on building their fitness.

I think we really miss a Cross/Boyd/Morris pacesetter in terms of work effort. Bont and Dunks are amongst many who we see on social media doing the work off-field, and we saw Baileys Smith and Williams improve based on their work effort. But is there that authoritative respected 'elder statesman' who sets the tone for the young boys? Is Easton that man? Is it up to Mitch and Libba?

I think it's almost definitely made up crap from the media, but it's not a long bow for them to be drawing.

If there is truth to this, then we do need significant change at the club.

I think it's questions how we've handled things over the last 3 years and how effective our leadership has been
They implied that Dunkley is very professional and they said he was upset with the level of professionalism of some in the playing group and Ralph even used the term 'ratbags'.
