I’m pretty sure every club has players that lack standards and professionalism to some degree.

Yep one team had players fighting outside kebab shops, breaking COVID protocols and getting regularly reported

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Lonie yuck Hannah yuck dunkley leaving ill be devo. Please don't be happening

Relax they are not trading Bont an Naugton for them

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Ah yes, I see we are fast approaching the sky is falling in stage of off season.

Kind of looking forward to the start of trade week where we pretty much have to face the media, hopefully it can be quashed on day 1 and everyone moves on

Trade period is like a car accident you know you shouldn’t look but in the words of Icehouse “ I can’t help myself”

is not currently the acting Essendon captain, but we were about to make the offer of the captaincy any day now.

I have decided my future could be in AFL journalism.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

you’re right, I’m just trying to wedge Roughead into the group of talented players that have been forced out rather than trying to work with them and get them going again. Roughead wasn’t disruptive but just lost his passion for the game and battled injury and form issues before being delisted... he then became a mainstay of Collingwood’s defence

I think it was the injuries that really did it as he just couldn’t seem to get a run at it post Premiership

 

[Glaeken Oracle]

It's good to know there are some journalists with brains and ethics. Richard Hinds showing more intelligence in one tweet than the Toms have managed in their entire careers.

If Bevo/Dunks/Bains punches one of their lights out/sticks their heads down a toilet bowl at the next media conference/Brownlow/staged AFL 'event', I'd happily donate to the club's legal costs.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

All of our potential 'ratbags' (let's say Hunter, Libba, Baz, not sure who else) are by all accounts excellent and committed trainers. Particulalry with Stringer being at the Bombers, not to mention the reported issues they've had with a number of players being disgruntled at the club, this doesn't add up (beyond the payday he might receive if he can move across).

And going to a club where players are reported to be disgruntled with a coach who hasn’t even coached a game yet.

If he is leaving it’s money!

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Seems as though they are baiting the club to say something as they have given them donuts thus far.

Exactly and we have absolutely nothing to gain by making public statements other than the one we already have made

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

I did enjoy Goddard on trade radio this morning having a go at Stringer .. something along the lines of poor standards, he shouldn’t be going through the Macca’s drive through and the penny doesn’t drop for all players

Yep I heard that it was gold!

I don’t care what other people say but Stringer is the same lazy footballer he was at our club 20% brilliant 80% liability

 

[manutd/dogs]

Edmunds latest 'piece' speaks volumes about where all his 'info' is coming from. Straight from the horse's mouth:


“Stalemate at the moment.

“Essendon people tell me he wants to move, he’s made it very clear he wants to get across there and they even say he’s gone as far as telling some teammates he wants to move and some club staff that he wants out.

“Then the Dogs say no formal request has been put in. The Dogs don’t have to do anything now.

“We’ve got a long time until the end of the window closes so the Bombers aren’t in any particular hurry. They’ve planted the seed, they think they’ve got their man, but they’ll now wait to see if the pressure can build on the Western Bulldogs and also Josh Dunkley

to try and force a move through.”

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

If Dunkley really wants to leave, the club should go looking for the best deal it can get from other clubs, otherwise see you for the start of pre-season, sport.

Yep and don’t do it this year do it next when we have time to negotiate

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

OK so this is what people have been talking about for pages. Been trying to work out where it's coming from. Thanks for finally posting it.

It's CLEARLY garbage. Best friends with Bont, Bevo's "pet", yet he's disgruntled with standards going back three years and he hasn't been able to talk about it with them or anyone? And the answer is to go to Essendon?? ******* come on.

fu** me footy journalism is bullshit. Trying to drum up drama about a possible trade situation that is clearly as boring as "Dunkley has been offered shitloads of money from another club and is deciding if it's worth leaving a club he's happy at, while both clubs try to work out if there's a trade that makes it work". There's nothing more than that, and if the media about our sport wasn't so ******* amateur they'd just report it as such.

Honestly the clutching at straws for a "story" is so ******* embarrassing. Grow the fu** up AFL media. Trade week aint Bold and the ******* Beautiful.

Come to think of it Dodo does kinda look like Ridge

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Standards did slip.

Did you see our on field efforts in 2017/18 and first half of 2019?

That’s called adding 2+2 and getting 6

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

The cynic in me is saying that Pickering is trying to push the trade for his own personal gain rather than wanting the best for Dunkley.

As Paul Keating said “Always back self interest as you know it’s trying”

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

It is trade week, no news for the media to over analyse, clubs don’t leak like they did previously, except for clubs with an agenda. Ignore and move on, if a trade happens it’s on our terms.

I would go to the pies and offer our 1st for treloar cox there 2nd and you guys pay 350 of treloar salary this years and next, then wait till they blink

Why Cox? Lumbering old school tall, no thanks

 

[Glaeken Oracle]

Forced myself to read that Fox Sports Tom Morris report. FML, that is the biggest load of cadswallop I've seen in a long time. The only certifiable fact in the whole story is that Dunkley is a Bulldogs player. There is not a shred of journalism, or even basic research, in the entire story. I could get an 8yo who follows footy to write a piece with more depth and analysis.

 

[#1 Dogs Fan]

Make of it what you want but I have it on good authority the Bulldogs have asked to meet with colingwood, trelor and his management.

 

[VitalDread]

Can someone post the Buckenara Hun article on the Carlton target for the Dogs?

Levi is the target

I’m of the belief if we keep Dunkley and get Treloar we significantly improve our team. The midfield is already powerful but this just strengthens it even further.
