List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade Talk 2016 Part 3

[Baird]

We are seriously going to get Dunn. Lol. He is useless.

say it to my face campaigner

 

[danielnajdek]

Why are we going after Dunn?

It's so bad that it's laughable.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Crows last year for Dangerfield.

They did that to force a trade because they weren't going to get fair value from FA compensation. They didn't do it to retain him, which is what you are suggesting we should have done.

 

[ant22]

I watched the movie money ball last week. I hope this turns out like money ball with someone coming in and making decisions that make no sense to most people but end up working out ok.

 

[danielnajdek]

say it to my face campaigner

Your useless flog.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Why are we going after Dunn?

It's so bad that it's laughable.

Because we have limited choice?

 

[Cobalt King]

Actually pretty happy with picking up Dunn for peanuts.

I feel like I'm going to be the only one though...

I'm with you, Dunn far more mobile and a much better kick than both Brown and Frost, much more suited to the modern game.

People who are say he is no good because he couldn't get a game at dees need to remember Melb knew this season was only a stepping stone and wanted to get games into their young defenders. I can garauntee if they were contenders this year Dunn would be playing. I know a lot of Melb people and all were staggered Dunn wasn't getting a game.

 

[Baird]

Guys, calm down about Dunn. It isn't like he'll be signed to a two million dollar contract over four years.

 

[Wooljay]

No, can see plenty other hardcore Buckley apologists rapt with this move.

I just personally don't see the downside to it. Solid, experienced player for next to nothing.

 

[danielnajdek]

Because we have limited choice?

I prefer no one over him. He is bad.

 

[Fruit]

No I'm also keen on Dunn, averaged 4.32 rebound 50s in 2015, putting him 9th in the league.

For reference, Reid averaged 4.41 this year, putting him 8th in the league.

Neither Frost or Brown made the top 100.....

If we plan on playing counter attacking football, he would be a good replacement for those 2.

Also averaged 14 touches and 4 marks this season in limited games. Brown averaged 11. Its hard to measure but looks like an upgrade.

 

[ant22]

Bernie Vince seems a bit underrated on here he was a quality player for Adelaide then went to Melbourne and has been practically their best mid.

I think Adams is a quality player for us and is around Vinces mark when fully fit.

How anyone on here would not rate vince is beyond me. He has destroyed us over the last couple of years. The guy is very underrated.

 

[Cobalt King]

Is Dunn an upgrade on Brown? The last time I paid attention to him he was a forward.

Yes upgrade on both Brown and Frost

 

[NT.Thunder]

Don't mind Dunn. Will be good backline depth incase we get a few backline injuries. Will cost nothing.

What, depth for Keeffe?

My god does no one else see the issue here!

 

[Wooljay]

I prefer no one over him. He is bad.

Bit of a case of cutting off your backline to spite your face.

 

[unplugged]

I'll only be happy with Dunn if he costs us a pick worth no points.

I still remember the absolute bath he gave Cloke a year or two ago.

 

[manicmagpie]

They did that to force a trade because they weren't going to get fair value from FA compensation. They didn't do it to retain him, which is what you are suggesting we should have done.

Plus Dangerfield was never officially offered a free agency deal. Adelaide and Geelong agreed to trade without actually going through the rigmarole of the free agency process.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

I feel ill.

Taking the cast off's from Melbourne, how low can you go?

 

[PhiloBeddoe]

Guess we will find out, Ban would be huge if that's the case.

Patrick Smith wrote an article about it last night. He says up to 4 year bans. I think your mate may have read the article.

 

[Reens]

What, depth for Keeffe?

My god does no one else see the issue here!

We definitely need another key defender to add to this.

If we dont give much up for dunn could be good for depth but yes we need a solid key defender in the starting 22.

 

[whiskeytown]

Why are we going after Dunn?

It's so bad that it's laughable.

We lack KPD depth. Dunn is an upgrade kick on brown and frost, that will cost us pick 70+ and probably only 250-300k per year unlike brown.

Pies will also pick up another young KPD to develop. Dunn is the stop gap til said player is ready.

 

[Brad Goodman]

We need to shore up the defence, but Dunn has barely ever been AFL standard.

 

[Lethal06]

Dunn is better than Keeffe.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

I'll only be happy with Dunn if he costs us a pick worth no points.

I still remember the absolute bath he gave Cloke a year or two ago.

With a lot of assistance from the umpires. He was Silvagni like, which is actually not allowed anymore.

 

[peter9789]

FFS not Dunn .....

Oh well look like the VFL team will be competitive
