Haha all you need to do is take a quick read through the last few pages and you'll see nearly all of us and the club are dark on Brisbane. The club is not even being unreasonable by requesting 2 mid to late firsts for Dunkley, however it's rubbing most people up the wrong way because Brisbane don't even seem to be trying to be reasonable. It was refreshing to see GWS and Richmond negotiate a quality player in good faith and get the Taranto deal done, that's how it should go typically. It's not our fault the Lions have point considerations at play, it would just be nice for them to acknowledge they may have to give a little to get a quality player rather than try to break our back in a game of chicken. I'm in agreeance with a few on here that i'd rather us let him go into the pre-season or open drafts than cave and get unders. We're trying to challenge ourselves at the moment, and giving away our reigning best and fairest to another top 4 contender for peanuts is more of a detriment to us than getting nothing at all.Impasse WB and the Lions: I know it's often posturing, and 9 out of 10 times you end up taking what the lions offer but there is always that 1 time. There is no doubt Dunkley is worth more than a latish 1st rounder. I'm not a fly on the wall so don't know the goings on behind the scenes. But if was a dogs supporter I'm dark on the lions for shopping pick 15.
Jack Martin and others such as Heatley and Houli aren't the same as this because it was a choice of the club taking them to go through the PSD rather than give up anything in a trade. It's very rare for a club losing a player who has nominated a club to let them walk with the threat of missing out on their preferred destination - I believe the last was Nick Stevens back in 2003 (requested Collingwood, ended up at Carlton).Jack Martin? Although a bit different because Carlton had power with the early PSD pick
Basically what we did with Essendon. Made it very clear what the price was and didn’t move/respond.Wouldn’t even answer anymore phone calls from Brisbane unless they offered us what we want

Inside Trading Desk Cal Twomey said that Brisbane don’t want to offer anymore then a Future First for Dunkley
Hypothetically if we had Brisbanes future 1st and they went into a point deficit from Ashcroft, would the future 1st be impacted?
Mind-boggling to even begin to think that Brisbane's List Management team thought that would be enough to satisfy us.Inside Trading Desk Cal Twomey said that Brisbane don’t want to offer anymore then a Future First for Dunkley

He has no rights and he won't make it past Essendoom at the worstAm I right that if he goes to PSD, we can draft him again before Brisbane? What rights does he have to refuse a Club's offer in the PSD if they're willing to match the financial terms?
Wouldn’t think so because they no longer own that pickHypothetically if we had Brisbanes future 1st and they went into a point deficit from Ashcroft, would the future 1st be impacted?
Do you think the playing group would welcome him back in, again? I doubt it. As a paying member, regardless of whether he wearing red,white and blue next year or other colors, he will be booed.Facts are Brisbane are d***ing around and that's fine, but ultimately they want what we've got. If they're not prepared to pay a fair (and it is) price, no deal and they can go and get knotted. I agree, I would tell Brisbane, not interested unless you come back with a serious deal. Block their number.
Dunkley can either come back with his tail between his legs (again) or go to another club.
Why who gives a **** we knew he was a mercenary the last 2 years didn't stop me cheering when he kicked goalsDo you think the playing group would welcome him back in, again? I doubt it.

I see a lot of comments from other supporters that he wants out cause of 'culture', which doesnt make sense as if it was cultural there would be more players leaving than him. Look at the common denominator here... the issue seems to be Dunkley.
How about GCS apparent salary cap issues?I wonder if the twist in the Dunkley saga is getting the Sun's involved.
I remember someone saying Power was on the Gold Coast just before trade period and no other players seem to be linked either way.
Would be a top result. GCS have heaps of picks and need quality, leadership
If they give enough trade wise, maybe we pay a little salary for a year or 2?
If Brissie won't come to the party and it's Dunkleys only chance of getting to Qld he would be on board?
It would be a win (us), win (Suns), win (Dunkley), lose (Lions) which would be pretty sweet

A simple way of thinking about it is how many more Brownlow votes Dunkley will get in his career. Maybe about 40 on average? Could be more, could be less. He's had some recent seasons with more than 10, some with less.Mind-boggling to even begin to think that Brisbane's List Management team thought that would be enough to satisfy us.
