Trade Dunkley

[comrade]

Make no mistake him leaving would be a disaster for Collingwood as well. They are stuffed either way as no player is going to trust them with contract changes going forward.

Sam Power should be calling Brodie Grundy's manager and raising this point.

This is what I keep telling people.

Beams was a high profile player who fell in Collingwoods lap (as in they did not seek him out as a trade target) who had known issues with his body and off field and came at a severe cost to their trade assets and took up a huge part of their salary cap which they hadn't planned for and played a position they didn't need to bolster like that anyway.

Treloar fits basically everything there, with the only bonus being that he might cost less in trade assets because Collingwood are so stuffed if they keep him.

Who was the last player that was pushed out of their club for any reason that was a good idea to pick up? And how is putting a $700K unplanned divot in your salary cap for at least two years when you have Bont about to come out of contract a good thing?

Pies have really stuffed up. Cox has triggered another year from his contract and they need to pay him $550k. However, he has said he is prepared to negotiate his contract in order to stay. They have the worst list management in the AFL paying big dollars to Treloar, Beams, Cox and now De Goey wants his share and god only knows what Grundy is on or other players.

And if rumour is true, Philips is on 600k.

I was told Pert had a hand in paying the big dollars that was the reason he left...or pushed.

This Treloar news makes me feel like we're all going to stick with what we've got.

Hilarious to see happen to Essendon again but I'd actually warmed to the idea of a king's ransom for Dunks.

Treloar at Collingwood is simply untenable. How can he possibly stay after everything that's happened?

It's close to workplace harassment and unfair dismissal.

Yes. Dunkleys blog combined with BT's calculations have me very happy to lose him.

The Dunks plan.....Stay with the doggies and get more time in the guts, no rucking and a pay increase. Might work a treat.

Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at Gold Coast to be close to his partner and child.

I can't see why a coach would promise more time in the guts. Doesn't a game plan involve many parts and if it doesn't suit, you don't play a player in a particular spot.

If that was to happen I’d like to see him recommit for a further year on his contract to shut down what might be two years of scuttle but.

It was sort of tongue in cheek.

Seems silly to move states on a five year contract given his wife has a 10 month contract

True. Unless she wants to live there after contract.

[Vred]

Sam Edmund reporting that him + every other list manager in the league doesn't think the Dunkley deal gets done, at all, Essendon just can't get what we want for him.

Good, *!*!*!*! Dodo and *!*!*!*! Essendon.
