famously tried to get to Essendon at the end of 2020 but a trade fell through.

Now two years on, and out of contract in 2022, there’s plenty of interest in the Bulldog.

7NEWS reporter Tom Browne says a move to South Australia could be on the cards for Dunkley.

“Port have certainly registered interest in Dunkley,” he said on Triple M.

“It’s my understanding Dunkley wants up to a five-year deal and he’s 50-50 at the moment on staying at the Bulldogs.
He also obviously wants big money and the Bulldogs are constrained by where their list is at and things like that.

“Port have certainly registered interest.”

Dunkley’s partner, Adelaide Thunderbirds netballer Tippah Dwan, remains in South Australia for at least another year.

Ah ha also wants big money as well as length/security.

Port are the biggest nuffy group of supporters.

Dunks isn't leaving and if by some angel of Kern Hinkley intervention he does, Sam Power

will ream them at negotiations.

 

[doggies ftw]

Can we just not even bother posting Tom
Browne articles. It’s actually comical how far off the mark this bloke usually is, I genuinely think he actually has zero connections or any connection he does have literally just feed him the wrong info as a pisstake.

 

[VitalDread]

My starting bid for Dunks would be

Pick 8 + Amon compo for Dunks + Pick 29

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Ahh good old Each Way Browne.

Goin' out on a limb there Tommy Boy

******* idiot

He normally goes out on a limb eventually.

Often 10 minutes after Mitch Cleary confirms the opposite of what Browne says.

Like that starting position a lot. Wouldn’t we have to swap back a late pick

Be careful, they'll start nuffing about you on their board

What are they saying he’s worth?

 

[josh the gent]

So if Rankine was pick 3 and now has years of development and a huge contract offer. Do the Suns accept pick 6 (Crows pick 5 moving to 6 after Roos get a priority pick)?

I think the Crows will have to cough up more than that.

His young age, and a contract of 800k pa for 5 seasons indicates he’s probably worth 2 firsts with perhaps a second back the other way.

Suns will be filthy that he wants out after looking after him while he adjusted to afl. Shit act by Rankine.

Personally i find the whole thing disappointing - the Suns are building nicely and i want them to be a vibrant part of the comp - nobody wins if they’re another Brisbane Bears…

If I'm going to pick a list clogger I'd rather choose someone who has shown nothing in three years and may end up being better than a list clogger over a guy who has proven over 100 games and 10 years that he is a list clogger.

As I said, never seen McAsey play. Not keen on him at all, it can't be a good sign that he can't get into a putrid Adelaide side If given the choice, I'd still have Young here.

I'll always support O'Brien if he gets back into the team. Stranger things have happened than him becoming competent in our best 22. I'd given up on Hamling mid 2016 and he changed that in no time. But in general I don't believe its a good idea to be taking punts on 28 year olds who showed some potential.

Why do we have to choose between a probable list clogger and an actual list clogger?

This is story reminds me of the tale of Sisyphus right down to Tom repeating himself.

His constant hedging is the key to understanding that he knows as much as anybody here, which is **** all.

Keep pushing Tom. Im sure you'll get to the top of the hill real soon.

Au Contraire Doggies. Tom is incredibly well connected.

So well in fact that he leveraged daddies name to get himself out of the lowly grind of lawyering and straight into a plush high profile football media gig.

 

[Lex22]

I’d have McLean (pre knee injuries) and Lipinski well ahead of those guys, Adams when he’s on the park has been a better performer too imo, but they’re all obviously years more advanced in development and the others may get there.

Garcia has a lot more upside than all those three and will fill key voids in a few years.

Those others are just role players, Rylie will be a rung or so above that.

You could argue both Laith & Dom have more X factor too, but jury still out on both.

 

[dergert]

What are they saying he’s worth?

The Amon compo pick and nothing else.

Complete nuffery.

 

[Lex22]

Does anyone else get those Triple M clips through YouTube or whatever during the day?

I always find the Tom Browne ones really unnerving, it’s like he’s snuck into the studio to deliver a 10-15 minute monologue without anyone knowing.

Other segments/shows have interaction with others people or at least context, not Tom, he’s just taking without anything.

It’s really quite strange.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Port are the biggest nuffy group of supporters.

Dunks isn't leaving and if by some angel of Kern Hinkley intervention he does, Sam Power will ream them at negotiations.

If he nominates Port we don’t have much negotiation power as he’s out of contract. A fair deal, not a great deal, is about as good as we can hope for. Hopefully Dunkley understands we need a fair trade.
The Amon compo pick is far from a fair deal.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Hard to believe Dunks is only 25. Him and Smith will be the backbone of our midfield post Liber/Macrae/Bont.

 

[VitalDread]

Be careful, they'll start nuffing about you on their board

Hope they are smarter than the bombers person that quoted me in their thread

 

[adogsfan5]

Ahhhhh I love a Tom Browne 50/50 article where he clearly doesn’t know.

Agree. Riley has a huge ceiling. I’m very bullish on him. His movement in traffic, love of the contest, attack on the ball and the opposition, is great. I see him as the more likely Libba replacement than west.

 

[Del165892]

If Dunkley goes to Port then we have to work Jimmy Rowe into that deal somehow. It would suck to lose Dunks but I think the electricity having Rowe zipping around in our forward line kicking outrageous goals would make up for it.

This year Garcia played 7 games and averaged 10 disposals, 0.7 clearances and 1.1 tackles and 4.8 contested possessions.

At the same age McLean played 19 games and averaged 22 disposals, 3 clearances, 4.5 tackles and 8.9 contested possessions. And that wasn’t even McLean’s best year.

We’ll be lucky if Garcia even gets close to peak McLean. Personally don’t see it happening, but I’m not going to write him off either.

I get that everyone on here are passionate doggies supporters and while I don't post much I do enjoy reading the banter and emotional posts. The reality is the list management team and recruiters regarding the draft are highly regarded and our backend support like Ameet Bains and Sam Power have legal backgrounds. The crossover in all businesses is real and the club is in a great position off the ground! The reality is challenges will always come up but we currently the team behind the scenes that we know who can take care of anything that eventuates. If Dunkley leaves "it is what it is" and we will probably take the best defender in the draft as we do not have any real young key defenders to develop ie above 195cms. Btw Darcy is long term a forward I think we can all accept that with a smile The club has acknowledged this year our key defence is a problem and needs to be addressed.

But back to my main point... I am not sure why you all guess what the trade details will be when you have no idea which team the player is going too and which players clubs just want to offload to free up salary and give the player another chance at another club. Not many trades this day and age are an unknown quantity to clubs and clubs have already began discussions about different scenarios. The domino effect is across all clubs and once we know re Dunkley the domino effect will take affect with West etc etc etc.. the reality is the club have signed everyone they really want except Dunkley but they would have scenarios in play ready for whatever eventuates. I mean when you have multiple lawyers behind the scenes they are not going to be like supporters "ie us" and rambling on about bollocks. So lets all wait to see what plays out and let all the support staff do what they do best and plug the wholes on our list as best they can. Many of us played football at some level so we know some years you do not click and some do! Since 2015 Bevo has got us to finals 6 out of 8 years and 2 grand finals so he is a legend in my eyes.

So keep pumping out the posts as I enjoy reading them but please just remember they team behind the dogs have a lot more experience than us, have proven results and are a lot smarter than 99% of us.
