Good to know. Still our best winger when fit and firing.

Agree with most of your views. Can't agree on this one though. He runs hard and that's about it. Kills our momentum more often than not by slowing down play when it's not warranted.

I wouldn’t expect an announcement regarding Dunkleys playing future until the end of this month if I was youse…

Why is that? B&F?

 

[Mofra]

Why is that? B&F?

Brownlow invite?
Got to get Bland (sorry, Brand) Dunkley out to the masses

 

[Randomthoughts]

If all the deals were announced early or even nominations for preferred destinations AFL trade week would have nothing to report on . They need a few big deals for “exclusives” for afl.com and co .

Just in case anyone missed the other 4,325 identical side-on photos of him having his hair trimmed, there’s one posted today. Jesus wept…

Can’t see how Brisbane gets the job done for Dunkley - he is what they need and would be good for them but they have pick 16? Is it? 16 and Payne would probably get the job done but would they do that? If not what do we get? May try to roll in Gardiner. Good player but not sure about someone at 192. I reckon this would be JRS to get over the line.

We are in the window - future picks not best - top pick and a young player with clear potential to be best 22 or later pick and established player.

At Port - pick 8 and Bergman would also get it done. Would love to get Visenti is possible as extra chips. Would prefer this.

They may try and get us to take Hayes - he is OK but has not been able to come in even when rucks are injured and they played Finlayson and Treackle instead - doesn’t speak of a guy good enough but just not getting a game behind stars. Would be a mistake.

If we can go into the draft with two first rounders and already dealt with one need we could be OK. Trade 8 and 11 for someone with 4/5 and 20ish - get Busslington (closest thing to another Naughton) or if he slips take Sheezel and then Hayes with next pick.

Or got really hard for someone like Ballard or Lukoscious from GC - with two first rounders and a could of players like JJ, Williams - Dunkley for Ballard would be better for us but don’t see Dunkley wanting to play for GC but they are developing a pretty fantastic midfield and would give them a maturity they don’t have. .

For West Coast - we all think Barrass is like finding Elvis but….team is bottoming out and not expected to seriously compete for a few years - that set of top picks would set them up for another lift. They get Busslington and two stars going forward - already have McGovern and Edwards as starting and Rhett Bazzoso would not be stupid.

Same for McKay - North would have him as a top player but 3 picks in the first round and a couple of players may be the kind of bold thing Clarkson would do. North is shit but Clarkson will draw players - maybe Dunkley and JJ for McKay? McKay has in contending again - he is a star. North are chasing Logue.

I have said I would prefer Logue to Lobb - he nominated North but game is not down - wonder if we are even in the mix but what about second round plus JJ and Schache? Dreaming I think and probably have to use our pick 11 (risky but we need to be bold) but what are they getting from North - won’t give up number 1 for Logue so not sure?

Unless we can get an established best 22 for him - I think we lose if we lose Dunkley.

Am I dreaming?

 

[Lex22]

Apparently north are paying him 5 x $700k. Have to let him go if that’s the offer

That’s wild coin for what is just a role player.

I know North have to pay someone, but geez, he ain’t going to improve them much.

Logue is a battler IMO, I’m very glad that we aren’t in that race.

 

[Angak]

If a player wants out, then normally they end up getting where they want to go.

Are people forgetting that Lobb requested a trade in last year's trade period and was blocked by Peter Bell?

 

[grassman75]

If he does comes to us I'll cheer for him as I would anyone, but gosh he seems like a bit of a douche

I thought we had a no dickhead policy....

 

[Northernsoul74]

He left it very very late so his own fault.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Not sure if this is the right thread, but thought a bit of positivity around here would help -

Been working at a gym in port Melbourne for the last few weeks, and every day since the season’s finished Lachie Hunter’s come in and trained his ass off for 3-4 hours a day. For a bloke in his off season after a year he might’ve wanted to forget, thought that was a seriously impressive effort

He's always been a very good trainer. But thanks for the tip.

 

[Golden_6]

Let’s be honest, Dunkley was never going to request a trade before the Brownlow given he’s representing the Dogs.

 

[Dexter6]

It'll be interesting to see what happens if Dunkley leaves (you'd think 500-600k a year) and the Lobb trade gets blocked (500k over 3 years). There'd be about a million in the cap to play with; whether that's used to keep players/front-end contracts or go after a big fish this year or next.

Wouldn't say he blocked it. Freo were open to the trade, but it didn't happen because GWS baulked with the asking price.

Good point imo.

Fair few important contracts coming up over the next two years so it’s not a bad problem to have.

Trade in Finn Callaghan next year. Would need to regenerate that midfield with Libba being 31 next year, Treloar 30 and Macrae 29.

 

[Pagnoccolo C]

Logue and McKay. North have better KPD planks than us...

Who doesn’t?

 

[Angak]

100% leaving.... bagging the coach, club and players on the way out.

Where has he bagged the coach, club players etc... Have I missed something?

 

[hatescaptcha]

If Lobb is furious at the denied trade request that might just make him even cheaper If they can’t mend that relationship. Skipping meetings does sounds like he’s not having a bar of Freo.

Probably the opposite. Will make Freo more determined to not let him get his way.

You haven't missed anything in the media

Bell is a flog when Jackson confirms he will change his tune. Bell thinks he is driving up the price but Sam P won't deviate from whatever has been offered probably 29 but will be interesting to see what it ends up

Happy to see the back of him to be honest, any idea who he’s going to?

I think it shows we are a better team when he plays. He has his failings but when playing well he is a net positive.

I like him as a high half forward that covers the entire ground.
