Yeah, I just can't see a slight step up in outside pace as being a worthwhile trade off.

No from me. Dunks stays. Not interested at all in giving him the flick. Irrespective of what we get for him.

Yep and we would have to be very very cruel to send him to the Bummers.

Re: Trade Dunkley
Dunks, as others have mentioned is a 'fabric' type player. Unless he were to express that he wants out, you don't voluntarily try to move on 'fabric' players

Re: Trade Dunkley
Yep, agree with others, not keen on trading Dunkley and he is certainly a 'fabric' type of player.
My mate who works for the club once said to me that he can't quite work out which one of Dale Morris or Josh Dunkley - is the best bloke he's ever met.
But on the footballing side - Dunks probably had another 10 years with us. Could be a captain of the club, and was in the All Australian squad last year.

And id throw in hasn't hit peak football maturity yet, the offer would want to be something special, and I don't think the bummers have anything to offer.
If we had an "untouchable" list of players, he is pretty close to being one of them.
If i were to pick a player on our list that's worth something on the trade table and we could potentially replace, it would be JJ.

Also didn't play in his preferred position this season. Play him as a full-time mid and we'll see his true value. It's an interesting situation we have with him and Libba. Libba's excellent form has meant less midfield time for Dunks. How do we get him in there more often?

If games go back to longer quarters, this should mean more rotation through the middle and our midfield depth (in theory) will be a more potent weapon.

No it'll simply mean more ruck time for Josh.

Well, in my scenario I'm choosing to believe that in 2021 we've come to our senses and brought in adequate ruck relief to partner with English.

Re: Trade Dunkley
I fail to see how Bevo has enough credits left in the bank to continue to be able to pull this ruck bullshit unencumbered. Surely someone senior steps in and forces the issue.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

We can only hope. But it’ll depend on whether the coaching group actually believe severe problems exist. Time will tell. None of us want to see Dunks contend a single ruck contest for the rest of his career.

I really don't like the title of this thread
Jeemak, if we lose Dunks to the Bombers I blame you for giving it legs.
