Don't think we're in the hunt

Of course not

The Western Bulldogs have made clear Josh Dunkley is worth well in excess of a single first-round pick as they prepare to secure Liam Jones on a three-year deal as early as Friday.
The Dogs are open to a range of scenarios in a trade to Dunkley to Brisbane that could include players and early picks from this year or the 2023 bumper draft.

Anyone got the full article?

Just off the current topic. I wish we would have a crack at Ratugalea. Play him at CHB. He would be able to play on most of the monster key forwards and pinch hit in the ruck.

One thing that Bevo said last night that has really made me happy (and I’m paraphrasing) is how we aren’t going to be a club that overpays players. Everyone will receive their fair share.

We simply can not be stuck in the mode where we rely on money to hold players. The opening fifteen minutes of the best and fairest, and the clubs approach to indigenous people is a step I’m incredibly proud our club has taken to create an environment where people will just want to be.

You can’t keep them all though and some will be motivated by their pockets. Geelong lost Tim Kelly, for example.

Anybody who applauds that opening paragraph would understand why can't be a club chasing the Bowes deal.

Good to see we’re setting the bar high early in the Dunks trade, he’s our BnF winner in the prime of his career, we’re well within our rights to ask for good compensation - and will get it considering Brissys situation

They’ve just hired a very average coach. Funny times ahead.

Definitely worth a go

Barrett reckons Geelong and Brisbane are the two options for Bowes.

Pray for Brisbane getting up. You'd think they would with him being a QLD native.

Reckon he'd be better than Cordy, Tomlinson or any other C grader that's currently available.

As much I love Gilbo, I don’t think smart is an accurate description

Blokes a spud but will get a spot on a list due to being tall

Is Ratugolea not just another Trengrove? i.e. jack of all key position trades, but master of none?

I didn’t mind him a few years ago, looked that kind of athletic ruck/fwd that could take a grab.

He just never went on with it.

Dunkley's a premiership player and Charlie Sutton medalist which McCluggage isn't so would hope we get some steak knives thrown in as well

Yea mate Fox Footy has just reported it

I know it's a small sample size. But a watched him play in defence a couple of times and I thought he was quite serviceable. Even with Jones coming in our key defensive stock paper thin and getting on in age. We need some cover back there.

For a late pick and not much salary cap wise. I reckon he'd be worth a punt.

Yeah, I’m not dead against it at the price for depth, just don’t see a walk-up role for him.

But here's the problem with this time of year.

Brisbane: 'Dunkley wants to come to us. Here's a draft pick.'

Dogs: 'He's 25, a Premiership player and just won our B&F and is in his prime. Swap for McCluggage please.'

Brisbane: 'Here's a second round pick and some pissy fourth rounder for 2023'

Player swaps used to be common back in the 90s and 00s, but now clubs just want it all and aren't prepared to give anything away.

Dunkley makes them a lot stronger, so we're well within our rights to demand a bloody good deal else he can walk to North.

Little chance of attracting McGluggage even though he is a Ballarat boy. He's still contracted for another 2 years and would undoubtedly consider his chances of winning a premiership are stronger with Brisbane than with us.
