I don't spend much time at all on the Draft and Trading forum (iirc the last time I was here was around the Neale to Brisbane discussion) but is it standard to relive/rehash how things didn't work the last time the player was up for potential trade two years previously when the destination club is now different?

Just seems weird that we are having a discussion about how Essendon and the Bulldogs interacted almost as though that was the current trade in progress ... then again I suppose moving on from the past is not exactly an Essendonian specialty!

Really dirty?
How is prioritising our club's needs first playing dirty? We went away to get more draft picks after Doggies refused to budge or offer anything of substance in return. There are a couple of big name players left in the trade period and no surprise that both of them involve the Bulldogs. Pot kettle black.

I agree that dirty isn’t the right word, but they are trying to squeeze the Dogs and certainly aren’t offering fair value for Dunkley.

Pickering is out of line, though.

Plenty of Dogs supporters have been keen to bring up the non-trade regularly from what I've seen, so hardly an Essendon special.

Hahahahaha wouldn't it be so funny if Dunkley went to the PSD...



Wouldn't it be hilarious?

It's been so long since something really good has happened with no clauses attached or a backfire happening way too quickly I'm clinging onto the smallest of hopes just let me ponder for what most likely will be less than 48 hours.

Lions doing what pretty much all other clubs would tbh. Dogs would be doing the same if the shoe was on the other foot. Can't tell me otherwise.

The fair value is what people need to get out of their heads. Its bad luck but he's out of contract. It is always going to be unders.

Similar situation with Henry atm and your club low balling clubs for players out of contract.

Had posters arguing that second rounders were gold. Article and stats on draft round success in the paper yesterday point blank says otherwise.

They should have not stuffed around and taken the 15 and future first regardless of their second rounder situation. Now they are faced with a worse deal even if they keep all their precious other picks.

You doggies are forgetting how we gave you schackie for nothing and he was a top 2 pick , talk about ungreatfull

trade will happen and it will be pick 21 that gets it there as it will get you boys Lobb and you want that dont you ?

win for both teams

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

I'd say on-field yes, off-field will be shortly.

Scott gives some stability to the coaching situation, the CEO situation will get sorted soon enough, and the club itself is in a strong financial position with great facilities.

If Dunkley ends up at Essendon it gives him plenty of scope to play midfield minutes like he wants, but instead of competing for a Premiership in 2023 he'd be hoping for 2025 onwards. If he ends up in the PSD though surely North just grab him anyway so it's a moot point regardless.

Brisbane is the better option for near-term success undoubtedly.

Yes but he has a history of wanting to get to Essendon

I have the sense Josh has a history of wanting what's good for Josh....

Picks 25 & 40
C'mon, we later gave you Marcus Adams back for pocket change

There is “below fair value”, and then there is “downright insulting”, which is what Brisbane’s first offer for the B+F winner was.

And no, not all other teams behave like Brisbane has here - because to get stars across the line, they have (a) made sure they had the capital to do the job first, and (b) been prepared to actually pay a reasonable price in picks or players. Unfortunately Geelong haven’t covered themselves in glory on this front this week.

Richmond are losing a player to get Hopper. Port Adelaide have mortgaged their entire future pick haul for JHF. Brisbane aren’t willing to give up anything that hurts for Dunkley.

Oh yes we are just so very grateful for your generosity.

Henry is contracted mate. (Edit, no he isn’t). (Last time I listen to Edmund)

I’d argue future 1st and pick 21 is much better than your original offer. It was a garbage offer and we are now in more of a middle ground.

 

[iameviljez]

Henry is contracted mate.

No he isn’t, not Ollie Henry.

 

[adogsfan5]

No he isn’t, not Ollie Henry.

My bad, Edmund today said he’s worried it won’t get done and that he’d be back at the pies? Maybe he got that one mixed up.

 

[Dazb86]

If the Lions through in two packs of Iced VoVo's that may just get this deal done.

One vovo and half a scotch finger

That vovo is for the Fletcher match thank you

Aside from the fact Gold Coast are banking cap to keep Anderson & Rowell, it's also why Gold Coast aren't in the conversation for Dunkley. Likelihood of team success normally plays a part in trade choice.

It’s worth noting that Brisbane and Gold Coast are not the same place any more than Melbourne and Geelong are the same place…about 70-odd kms apart

To highlight how far this is, Henry’s trade request to go to Geelong groom Collingwood has been put down to the ‘go home factor’
