If we still want to work on landing Dunkley, then we'd be looking to Kyle Dunkley

I think it's been pointed out that we can afford 5 draftees and one DFA or 6 draftees?

This list isn't nearing Brisbane 2019 yet, sorry to tell you.

I'm well aware

 

[Megabattimus]

Yup. I'd be fine signing Kyle as our lone DFA.

Okay, let's take out the fact that we want to target Josh next year. Kyle Dunkley

is a defensively oriented medium midfielder who does plenty of blocking work at a stoppage that helps clear a path for midfielders to get through. He's also got very good goal sense when resting forward. We haven't had someone like this since Heath Hocking retired and it's one of the biggest holes on our list.

The guy is a perfect example of what we need from a delisted free agent and someone we should be targeting.

There's a certain amount of integrity rebuild that has to continue, for sure.

Yeah in theory but he was pretty crap at afl level. To be fair he was stuck behind clay, trac, vines and brayshaw. Still though he has the traits but I don't know if he'd actually be any use.

possible upgrade on Mitch Hibberd - or comparable. Not a waste of a list spot if we still want old Joshy.

 

[fairbump_playon]

yeah about 28% to go I reckon. bit more blue collar play to match the blue collar talk would be a solid start.

Certainty. We all want it.

What a mediocre banner that would make.
That could be a fun off-season thread. Inventing banners that speak to mediocrity.

 

[Bulldogs85]

God I hope this happens in next year’s trade period Ned Guy vs Dodoro

Dodoro will destroy Ned Guy at negotiating table Bulldogs, north, hawthorn have had their way with him I think is only fair that Dodoro gets his turn

Why wait til next year. Pick 8 into 14, 16 and F1 at the draft

I hope Dunkley requests a trade again and Dodoro smashes Power.

Collingwood don't really have anyone we'd want tbh. Most of their best players are in their late 20's and 30's, and they'd never trade some of their good kids like Josh Daicos

Oh what a vision. Imagine the boys running out in front of a full MCG under a massive banner that says

ADEQUATE TO THE CORE
AVOID THE BOTTOM 4

Points don't matter this year
cause we owned our own career.

Okie dokes. I'll start it

I'd be surprised if Ned Guy has a job by next year after the debacle this year.

I've never quite understood the running joke about Cupido.

He was an obscenely talented player.

 

[Ati Tude]

The thing I want to see next year is that when we play the Dogs, the Bomber fans cheer really loudly for Dunkley whenever he gets the ball. Will simply annoy the hell out of the doggies fans.
