Re: Trade Dunkley
We just need to bide our time through the next 1.5 weeks. This is all posturing on the other side to create a wedge.
Essendon have recent experience with us in knowing that a division between player and Club will lower the said player’s value. And all this from a Club that has the worst culture of any with so many of their players wanting out. If this was simply about culture for Josh does anyone believe that he would be choosing Essendon where it’s highly probable that their coach won’t see out the next 12 months, and players such as Merrett likely to exit next year.
The only thing we need to say is that we value Josh highly and will not be entertaining a trade. We just need to continue to dial up the heat on Essendon and indeed Pickering by not buying into the white noise.
There will be plenty of time after the end of trade period to address any mis-truths during this time. Hey a signature from the Bont would put this to bed quickly.

I doubt he has spoken to a journo, knowing what I know about him. He is a model citizen and club man.

If someone who is a ‘model citizen’ confides in their manager, how would they feel if their confidence is betrayed in such a way?
I can guess that permission to leak this was sought and given, or surely the manager would be jeopardising his relationship with their client & risk poor word of mouth spreading through the industry.

Can't argue with that.

You have to concede that it might also be completely fabricated.

Media because they are totally unaccountable.

Re: Trade Dunkley
I generally find where there is smoke there is fire, highly likely lots of the rumours have an element of truth and are then blown out to click bait headlines so people will pay attention when there is really nothing to say.
As for a trade - this BS being touted about a first round pick is irrelevant this year. Any other year Dunks is probably worth a pick 7, but it isn’t any other year.
Unless we can package pick 7,8 & 12 for pick 1 then I’m not interested in picks at all. And honestly, unless it’s a Riley O’Brien or that I’ll in a highly needed position, not too interested in a player.
The onus should be on Essendon to make this deal work, in honesty it sounds like the media is doing dodo’s role for him - but again, slow footy news week. We need to play it calm, stand our ground and push all the responsibility to make this deal work onto the bombers. The club can do this from the background for all I care, as long as we do not end up caving. A comment to the media about how ludicrous some of the rumours are wouldn’t go astray.
