But at the BnF Dunkley said he loves us and I believe him fully. This just must be a simple misunderstanding between us and Brisbane. I’m sure Dunkley will sort it out for us

Most of us would’ve been comfortable receiving pick 15 + F1 as the deal.
If we get that deal with just the 15 downgraded to 21 along with another minor asset, it’s not a huge margin off. Certainly not ideal but not the end of the world.

If we blow 21 on Lobb I’ll be pissed off.
Media still has this archaic idea that we are a minnow club only there to prop up the other clubs. And shouldn't unduly ruffle the feathers of the more important clubs. Well BS to that we have a right to ask for fair compensation. Did GWS give anything back and damn sure Melbourne ain't so why the * should we give them a damn thing.
If they gave us 7 and a future 1st more inclined to give back a 2nd not for the half asked deal they are offering up
Rant over !!
Agree. Either Brisbane or Geelong’s future 2nd will be around 33-36 if they are top 4, so combing that with 21 goes some way to getting it back to 15, if that’s the additional pick we are also getting

But Brisbane are also getting two first round draft picks this year, which they need points for, so it's on us to accommodate that.
RORY LOBB TO WESTERN BULLDOGS
Fremantle has publicly refused to entertain the idea of trading Rory Lobb, but he remains every chance of playing at the Western Bulldogs in 2023. Lobb may be contracted for next year at the Dockers, but his future effectively hinges on Luke Jackson coming across by the time the trade period is done. The Dockers and Dees continue to haggle over Jackson’s worth and that’s holding up several deals this trade period, not least of which is Brodie Grundy’s move to Melbourne. Lobb’s future is also contingent on a trade the Dogs do with Brisbane for Josh Dunkley, given one of the picks acquired in that deal could be used to get Lobb. Again, the pick used is dependent on how much of Lobb’s salary is covered by the Dogs in 2023, but the Dogs would be very reluctant to hand over a top-20 pick for a player nearing 30.Verdict: Dockers receive Pick 30 – Bulldogs receive Lobb.

Maybe Dees lost interest

Heard from a good source (Franks hot sauce) Saints are pretty keen.

Would not surprise me if it was not even true. Nearly every potential player on the trade block, gets leaked out to the media at some point. If it is true and something is brewing in the background as this years surprise trade. Then I say, all these big deals are holding back all the smaller deals. As many are dependant on picks involved in those big deals. Teams have had weeks to work out something. Clubs need to F around less. Probably why these so called "mega trade periods" always fizz out with the amount of deals reached.
This deal could look like a disaster or it could all look great. Basically it comes down to deathriding a couple of clubs.
I wouldn’t be shocked if a team tries to trade for pick 21 if a slider is there.
We could get a 2nd first rounder that way.

It may depend on what happens with Tomlinson maybe? They probably want to get the Jackson and Grundy trades out of the way first in any case.

"Deathride" is such a dramatic term for hoping a team finishes a few places lower than predicted.

Nope he hasn't and he won't until it is an absolute certainty that there is a deal to be made

I don’t think it’s likely this year. Which team would prefer those picks compared to an early 20’s? I can’t see one that has that need?

My views on Dunkley for what it is worth.
I am not gutted even in the slightest that he is leaving. He is a decent player but I don't think he is the sort of player that alters the result of a game. He is not that great at anything but above average at a few things. Looked lost when forward or out on a wing got exposed in the midfield when up against opposition that were explosive or had speed out of the middle. I think Treloar back into the midfield is better for us also having Smith spend more time in there. Play hardball right up to the deadline but in the end just take 21 future first and a 3rd rounder. I just don't think we will miss him in the side that much.

We get a pretty ordinary run in the media. That became exceedingly apparent with the unabashed journalistic bias towards Essendon the last time Dunkley requested a trade. But really, it's nothing particularly to do with the Bulldogs and everything to do with the embarrassingly poor standard of journalism in this country. Boy have we regressed.
We surely can't go into next year with Keath on one leg, a 31 year old Liam Jones and Ryan Gardiner as our key defensive posts.
Khamis isn't suited for 1 on 1 contests. He was towelled up by Joel Amartey earlier in the year.
This will be a bigger disappointment than going into this year with Keath, Cordy and Gardiner.

I honestly think the interest in Lobb is so we can send Naughton down back
Where he would be one of our best key defenders, if something isn’t working down back or Naughton isn’t firing up forward

Thanks for the info as always, but this is a shit deal and Brisbane have cleaned up.
Depending on what the “minor pick” is, if it’s something like a 3rd we may as well chuck it in the bin
