Mods are not here to babysit.

Reporting bad posts instead of replying to them would also be extremely helpful if you wish to continue posting here.

Even if there are murmurs, that twitter account has zero credibility. Obviously Essendon would be silly not to monitor what is going on.

Not saying it would be Dunkley, but after the last few weeks luring a good player to Essendon would be a perfect way to sell 'hope' to the supporter base for next year.
Hurley in the coaches box next to Brad Scott, plus a high profile recruit. Try to get that feel-good factor going again.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Oh, just that then?

We do have a coach now you know from all reports the players absolutely love Brad Scott

 

[BangyBangy]

There's a lot of gnashing of teeth, stomping of feet, and melts going on here. Enjoy it while you can. We'll miss it in a few weeks when we're all bored shitless.

Edit: If this was a Collingwood trade, it would be gnashing of tooth.

Let’s be real. After a review of that persons twitter theyre an Essendon nuff. Most of it is random unsubstantiated bullshit and the rest is cracks at Dan Andrews.

0/10 reliability.

Im inclined to believe the nuff

Do you really want to back in a recruiting team that values Josh Dunkley right around the same as Tanner Bruhn?

Sounds like a great recruiting team ! Sold !

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Bruhn is overrated in that trade IMO

I think we're heading towards a fair deal for Dunkley

We don't know what the bulldogs first demand was. Probably 2 first rounders and McCluggage.

Despite what your coach says clearly your club doesn't mind leaking info to the media

I wouldn't bet on that just quietly, esp now the Lions have (foolishly) traded pick 15.

We are nowhere close to a deal.

15 and a future first, less than the Taranto trade. Your team decided that we’d only get 15 if we sent you the equivalent in draft points, then spite traded it when told to **** off. Brisbane could have had Dunkley in their jumper by now, for a relative bargain, and be working on building up their points stock for Ashcroft.

New drinking game. Everyone takes a sip when the Taranto precedent is mentioned.

Keep it civilised please. Still a long way to go.

What are we 12…. And 19?

Are you referring to my Collingwood 'tooth' joke?

Sorry.

If we had a drink every time reasoning for it not being a good precedent was given, we’d all be stone cold sober.

A general remark, doesn't just apply to you.

 

[JasRulz63]

Wonder if it's also in the Bulldogs interest to have this trade done in the last moments, so they don't hold pick 21 long enough for Freo to ask for it in exchange for Lobb (with Freo reportedly already rejecting pick 30).

“But you see, this mid-20s competitive ball-winning mid with elite stats who’s out of contract is totally different to that mid-20s competitive ball-winning mid with elite stats who’s out of contract, he’s worth half the price at best”

They didn't trade it out of spite, they traded it to get enough points for the number 1 kid in the country. List managers aren't as childish as you're making them out to be. Same goes for the Dogs, they're not going to risk losing Dunkley for nothing when they can receive a future first and an early second.

 

[10571z]

Brisbane need to understand you need to give up something to get something.

2 first rounders or see you later. Anything else is laughable

 

[Doggy Dan]

I reckon this is the one that doesn't get done, dogs seem to massively over price his trade value.

25yo B and F winner at a finalist club.

That the Lions are offering a 6 year contract at $750 per season

Maybe they need to recognise that they can’t afford both the best kid in the country and someone else’s B&F.

They can and will, the deal will be based around 21 and our future first

“We’ll just blatantly underpay and expect the Dogs to swallow it” is not what I’d call an ultimately successful list management strategy.

“I want that phone that someone’s selling for $600. I only have $400 after spending $200 earlier, so they just have to accept $400, there’s nothing else they can do.”

" We'll just let our current bnf winner and gun on-baller walk for nothing out of spite rather than taking a first and early second rounder" sounds like an even worse list management strategy.

I'm not saying its a good deal for the Dogs, they're losing the best asset in this trade which is unfortunate for them but the time to get fair value isn't now, that ship has sailed.

“We’ll let our current B&F winner walk to a competitive team for a bag of chips and a spit in the face, where he’ll actively make that team more likely to defeat us in finals for no reasonable return” wouldn’t be an ideal strategy either. If he goes to North he’s at least not strengthening a direct flag competitor.
