Bulldogs willing to walk Dunkley into the open market as Brisbane talks stall

Josh Dunkley’s move to the Brisbane Lions is on life support.

Surely only us or north!?? Not really a need for north

I doubt that happens but if it did he wouldn't get to the Bulldogs or Brisbane unless he went in the national draft. And even then probably not.

 

[boncer34]

I think the solution is obvious.

At the end of each year the bottom four get a whole bunch of blue shells, stars, and bullet-o-bill transmogs and the remaining teams get one banana peel each

We'd get a blue shell, hit the front and then try to use it.

Dodoros plan is working

Brisbane can’t get him in the ND given Ashcroft and Fletcher unless Dunks lasts to about pick 80

I appreciate that in that gif the bottom left graphic has Brisbane on the clock.

 

[eth-dog]

Deal probably still gets done. Besides, if he does go to the PSD I think North take him anyway

 

[Foxx]

isnt there a minimum wage though?

wouldn't the 200 years catch them out

Depends on the total contract $.

There's no way this would happen.

Dunkley secretly packing it

 

[naraku]

Dunkley would be pissed to of had 2 trade requests fail (IF Brissy one does). We should look to hijack that move more than Hooper if possible.

The big question will be how can the AFL Media blame Dodoro for this one ...

 

[ghostdog]

Given the stand-off you'd be forgiven for thinking Dodoro now works for Brisbane.

 

[ghostdog]

Can we help Brisbane with the Dunkley deal and somehow acquire Robertson?

It's funny coz Brisbane's tactic against Sam Power is to trade away the pick the Dogs were asking for but wouldn't take without something else to go with it. It's the same thing Dodoro did in the Stringer deal (with Jason McCartney, who is now at GWS), and also the St Kilda list manager did it with the Hill trade with Fremantle a few years ago, when they brought in like 4-5 players at once.

Don't want what I'm offering I'll trade it to someone else and you can have whatever is left. Basically turns it into a reverse bid, where it's whatever you can get for the pick, rather than whatever they can get for the player I suppose.

It's pretty nasty. Dogs seem serious about letting him go to the open market. They didn't have to publicise it either, so they must want the external pressure ramped up. It's why I posed the question about Robertson.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Wouldn't be surprised if Dunkley ends up at Geelong.... they'd have plenty of cap space and picks.

 

[adsla69k]

No wonder Heppell didn't go to GC. Would have had to pay for his own flights.

 

[doug85]

Be happy to take Dunks on a 2 year contract in the PSD. If he’s happy with us after year 1, stay. If not, we trade him for a 1st. Either way, we profit.

 

[calyam]

I'd hope that we'd be in Dunkley's ear letting him know that if the Brisbane thing doesn't work out we'd happily pay him a seven figure contract next year and take him in the national draft. He could put a $1.2m price on his head and we'd be in the box seat given our cap space.

 

[adsla69k]

I wonder if any other fringe players are on big coin around the league that we can take. I know WCE have a few main players on coin but probably need them to make cap floor.

It's a good play for Dunkley financially. In the current climate I'd be taking the dosh over a potential premiership that's not garenteed.

Won't be 2 years anyway, he'll put a price on his head and whoever wants to pay it gets him.

 

[carnthedons]

It’s all posturing. He’ll get to brisbane, nothing surer. Is the father figure still at Footscray? He of the famous we won’t trade pick 5 for Carlisle messaging?

Was thinking we’d negotiate terms with Dunkley before he nominates. Blues did the same with Martin.

 

[Howard Moon]

hes already pre nominated us in advance, it was only 2 years ago, think its still in date
