If that were the case they could email us, not do it via the media echo chamber. This is what happened with Stringer- we revealed our hand when we didn’t need to and watched our bargaining power disappear.

Jake was told he was gone and couldn’t come back, this is different but still would have preferred a no comment
 
With no disrespect but the deal imho still won't get done. You guys hold all the power but something has triggered Josh to entertain the idea of a move and it is up to us to reach the asking price the Power sets.

Clearly the “something” that triggered Dunkley is a godfather contract offer - and frankly good on you guys for offering that to him.

However if the Dons then don’t come up with the godfather offer to prise him from the Dogs - then i’d say future approaches to other players won’t be entertained.

So if i’m the Bombers, or Dodoro for that matter, all credibility is on the line and I reckon the deal MUST get done.

I really hope we play Martin and English together. Like, a normal team.....for once.
The interest in Martin is the first time that I’ve felt like we’ve got the right idea. Surely we wouldn’t bring in Martin and play either him or Timmy. Could this Dunkley situation have woken Bev up? Maybe? Please?
 
I'm so glad I've found a bunch of people that share the same disdain for Essendon as I do


I can’t stand them.

I’ve never met one that isn’t a complete and utter f$ckwit when it comes to football. Most of the scum around my age grew up winning and they has this attitude that they are superior to everyone and it’s their right to win.

I’m yet to find a single Essendon fan that can tell me how many Grand Finals they have won. Not one has given me the correct answer EVER

Been thinking about Trelour and I’ve come to conclusion he would be a good get for us at the right price. He is technically at his peak and price would be at its lowest. Poorly handled by the Pies. We should pounce on the opportunity. Bazlenka and Trelour steaming out the middle would be great to watch. Would balance out our midfield nicely. Personally I’m not too fussed with losing Dunkley as I think he’s the most replaceable of our elite midfield. If opportunity for west now. Also, it’s mentioned on this board that McLean is out for 2021. However, isn’t an ACL 6 months or so nowadays, which would bring him back early into the 2021 season, albeit without a pre-season, if all goes well?
 
I wouldn’t be that shattered with a future first and AMT. fills a need. AMT in a good side could be anything. Then try grab Stephenson. And then pray the bombers finish bottom 4.

All the pressure is on the Bombers to ‘make an offer they can’t refuse’.

They’ve obviously done 50% of their job by getting their offer onboard with Dunkley.

But for the other 50% and the offer to us - a future first and AMT is not!

He couldn't exactly turn down that offer... he had 900,000 reasons not to.

Stupid offer
 
I'm sure every list manager has to come on trade radio at some point as an afl media obligation powers cards are close to his chest so he wouldn't have gone on if he didn't have to

And still wear their too small footy jumpers over their middle age spread.

Let’s game theory it out.

Dodoro can’t get the deal done with us...

Who would entertain his godfather offer next year?!

All the pressure for this deal rests squarely with him and the Bombers.

A stupid offer now must await us...

Dodo is a big reason I hate them but then his also the reason they've stayed out of contention for so long so that's a plus. Having to see his smug face for the entirety of trade period is horrific. I'm very glad most recruiters stay away from him as much as possible and actively do deals just to avoid him

Would the bombers really let AMT go?

Signed a contract last year, seems to be fan favourite, not exactly flush with scoring options (especially with Fantasia & Daniher leaving).

At least Dunks & Stringer could rekindle their bromance.

Wouldn't want to, but to be fair they've approached an elite contracted player. His price should require that no one is off bounds
 
Heyyyyyyyy relax on the middle aged spread

🍕🍗🍟🍔🌭🍩🍰🥃

Matt, I'm on to old age spread, but I don't go to the footy in a tight Dog's jumper hoping I might get a late call up. Unlike Esserdun supporters do when they're long past the acceptable footy jumper wearing age.
 
Are Bailey Dale and Schache still a chance to be traded? Please be so. Need to stack some picks.
 
If we take on Treloar and that salary, i hope we go full NBA style salary dump and make them give us picks to take him. No way should any sort of first round pick be involved unless Stevenson is coming too

That works in theory but the overall impact of a hard salary cap is that you end up with picks to take more players on low salaries as you can’t afford to pay them - no luxury tax concept applies
