Ill be pointing the finger squarely at Bevo if we lose Dunkley because he was *!*!*!*!ing forced to ruck. Worst decision we made all year and I said it from the first time it happened, that this should NOT be happening.

Re: Trade Dunkley
Herald Sun on Twitter reporting that Dunkley is interested.
Because it's in the Herald Sun take it as a lock that he's not going anywhere.

Re: Trade Dunkley
I don’t think Dunkley will go anywhere but if he left because he had a few runs in the ruck then good riddance. I would be shocked if it had any influence at all.
With no viable back up I think most people who have been in similar scenarios can see what Bevo was trying to do. Unlikely that the players were not aware and on board with it in my view.

Good Post DT and I fully agree.

Re: Trade Dunkley
They've already got an inside bull, Jesse Stringer I think is his name, so we shouldn't discount that maybe he's being considered as a ruck prospect.

Re: Trade Dunkley
Though you wouldn't blame Dunkley for being interested if he's being offered that much, if he legitimately wanted to go, what does it say about our club? Where are we going?
Dunkleys playing style is replaceable but his importance within the group isn't. 23, leader, premiership player, AA inside bull, coming into his prime etc etc.
I support the club not the individual, but losing Dunkley would make me well and truly lose faith in this football club. Geelong/Hawks and to a lesser degree Tigers/Pies all kept their players at reduced rates during their contending/premiership years, yet we've had an exodus and if Dunks wants to go, it's pretty damaging to our brand.

4 players over 4 years is hardly an exodus. The rest retired or delisted?

Re: Trade Dunkley
I don't see what Esserden can offer us, but it's up to them to figure that part out. My guess is they'll low ball the trade and run a campaign in the media focusing on how cruel we are. Dunkley will stay at the Bulldogs and it will be a bit awkward for a while and then it will be OK.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

He's contracted until the end of 2022, there is nothing to see and this one will fizzle out soon enough

Couldn't knock back that coin as he would get nowhere near $950k a year in his next contract with us. I thought they needed players who could use the ball.
