Goddard& Lloyd would put a price on this!!
if we would ring trade radio and asked what Merrett would be worth it would be 2 top 10 picks and Dunkley as his contracted also was held at gun point to stay

By going to Essendon you sign up to being f**king damn near impossible to be traded.
Hope Dunkley enjoys getting reamed in 3 years time when he requests a trade out due to the club sucking and Bombers ask for 2 first rounders and a Brownlow medalist.

Right - but my point is they took a punt on a old player with question marks because he filled a need even though his original club didn't really value him anymore

Dude you’re seriously underrating Martin. He was very close to elite as recently as last season. Unlucky with collision injuries this year. He’ll be a good contributor for us

Dunkley just wants to cruise along and collect his $$. Onfield performance isn't even a factor or he'd go somewhere half decent. Culture excuse is garbage too. Just ask Andrew.
I'm sure dud coaches are popular and are poached by other clubs.
I'm not even saying he's a superstar coach, but to suggest an unknown quantity would make a better one is a bit far fetched.
At least you waited until the second line to call him a peaheart. That sort of restraint obviously means it doesn't sway your opinion of him as a coach.
Can I just point out that you're arguing this in favour of Brandon f***ing Pruess.

His coaching career has zero to do with his soft playing career.
And again look at his roles and how he has taken them all backwards and then suggest it’s only because I didn’t like him as a player.

It's not so much taking a punt when you're picking up a two-time all-australian, and was the best fullback in the league only two years prior.
Underrating him? I have never doubted his ability when at his best for Brisbane. The problem is he's 34 and sharply declining, which any Brisbane supporter will attest to.
Maybe if our genius coach saw the value in ruckmen less than 6 years into his tenure, we wouldn't be throwing a lifeline to an ancient dinosaur.
Payed professionals have a fair idea what they are going then any of us on a bigfooty forum

They've brought in Williams on big coin to play that outside mid role, I don't think they'd go after Treloar as well now
Based on new ideas, and someone that has experienced life outside the Kennel since 1999

I can see Carlton picking up Treloar instead of Saad now. Hope it happens tbh.

Any club will take Preuss right now over a 34 year old Stefan Martin. Not exactly drawing a long now there.
Mind you, I never would've delisted Will Minson in 2016 (only a year older than Martin), but Luke thought he had it all figured out that ruckmen weren't valuable in the modern era.
I loved him as a player, in his prime would be the ideal to walk in right now and make a huge difference.
Unfortunately for Gia he hasnt been outside Whitten oval since 1999, and the "award" was voted for by Bevo...

Port also standing firm that Fantasia is worth a second round pick, which he is based on injury history and glimpses of talent.
Essendon just need to be banned from trade week so things can get done, ffs

Luke Beveridge is a paid professional, and thought it was a good idea to play Josh Dunkley as the #1 ruckman against Geelong...
Because that worked so wonderfully well with Brendan McCartney...
Do tend to agree that if our objective was to get mature cover (or help) for Timmy, then Preuss would have been a better option. Hope we at least asked the question

Saad deal will happen. Bombers want Dunkley more than they want a good deal for Fantasia
As others have said Martin will be valuable for English and even Sweets development.
Don't need to play him every game.And he comes cheap.You didn't need Pruess replacing English.Just a hard body to help him take some of the impact....
PS Dodoro and Essendon should be charged or at least fined for bringing the trade week into disrepute.Other players that aren't big names suffer from all the hesitation and stalling these rocket scientists or psychologists cause...
