There is some criticism of Dodoro, but the defence of his trading this year and last is strident, and it's not one or two isolated examples.


Again, refer previous comments about Dodoro not valuing his own deal as enough.
There is pleeenty of criticism for Dodoro regarding Daniher. Many believed we should have traded Daniher last year instead of holding onto him. Plenty of criticism for the Shiel trade. Most Essendon fans also believed he unnecessarily made the Fantasia trade complicated.

I don’t have any problems with his conduct regarding the Dunkley trade though except for the length it took to come up with his offer. The final offer of pick 8 and a future second is more than enough. The 3-way trade for Treloar and Dunkley was also enough. Bulldogs just weren’t interested which is fair enough.

You’re misinterpreting Dodoro’s statement. Saying he wouldn’t do the deal if he was Bulldogs doesn’t mean he believes that’s what Dunkley is worth. It means he understands why Bulldogs didn’t trade Dunkley and would do the same for a player like him. A classic case of a player being worth more to a club than the open market considering Dunkley only has 3 quarters of one season last year to even justify a first rounder. There’s a reason why we targeted Dunkley over an Oliver type because he should realistically be cheaper than Oliver. Someone that’s pushed out of the midfield loses value.

Don’t think Dodoro or anyone expected the price to be 2 top 10 picks, which is what a contracted Oliver costs. We offered as high as we could and moved on from it. No issues there. All of Essendon, Bulldogs and Dunkley parted in an amicable way.

Posturing.
Ameet would’ve been content with Carlisle & Gresham. Meanwhile your mob ended up with Francis, Morgan & Bird.
Ameet has good form against Dodoro.

What the quote clearly shows is Ameet is a bit of a spud at the trade table. It’s there in black and white, we can ignore the nuffy twist on it.

Good job it will be Sam Power negotiating and not Ameet.
 
I guess we can be thankful that CEOs aren't list managers and all of that is irrelevant. this place is unreal

“St Kilda’s Ameet Bains said his club would reject those demands, declaring the club's pick No.5 would not be put on the trade table in exchange for Carlisle.”


CEO Ameet Bains re Josh Dunkley.
His statement:
“It’s not happening. He’s not going anywhere”.

Totes irrelevant.

he's a CEO. A lawyer. A corporate mouthpiece, everything they say is irrelevant in this sphere. people like Ameet are not list managers, good god mate

Lucky Sammy Power is our list manager then! Also heard our barista at the Whitten Oval also mentioned she doesn’t want Dunkley traded.
 
Providing Western Bulldogs soften their stance and listen to offers...Hypothetically what is he worth?

7 + 16 ?

6 + Next years Second round pick ?

Interested mostly on what supporters of clubs not involved think. I realise him being contracted for 2 years is a factor.

What he’s worth and what we would let him go for aren’t necessarily the same thing but good question for other clubs supporters.

He runs the club. Good god mate

so you think our CEO is sitting at the trade table? making list decisions and negotiating with other clubs over who we need and who is expendable, vetoing trades etc?

That type of thing may actually go on at Essendon but it might be news to you that this isn't normal in the rest of the league, as shocking as that may sound
 
Yikes. Are Essendon being realistic as to where their list is at? Because that suggests they are going for a flag tilt when it couldnt be further from the truth. Why are they topping up when they have such glaring holes on their list?

There's a fair bit of money walking out the door this season with Saad and Daniher. Next year Merrett is RFA and seems shaky at best that he'll stay. They're probaby looking at a couple of years where they'll struggle to meet the cap so i guess they'll throw some money around now while they can. It make sense to me although they need to be careful about blowing through their draft picks at trade or it's not going to achieve much.
