Regardless of what happens and the negativity inside of me says we simply dont get Humphrey or Flanders this trade period (too good to be true) but kudos to @Demon Forever who has provided some quality intel for today 👏

Hope you dont stop posting for the rest of the trade period if it doesnt end up going our way.

If we somehow turn Trac into Humphrey and Flanders +/- picks, I am building Steven King a statue at the Cranbourne pavilion.

Thanks DF for the intell. Would pick 23 and the Spargo compensation provide the Suns the points they need?

I've never got my head around the points system. Sorry cant answer that

I have no idea what they need, but pick 7 is worth 1543, while pick 23 is only worth 653. So could be a bit short.

Draft points calculator is here: https://www.draftguru.com.au/pick-value-calculator#23|

But presumably we have picks (= points) coming for Oliver, McVee, May etc.

I can categorically tell you that is not the case. His manager is well and truly on the lookout

The Fish Creek flag factory. Although they lost the mid gippy gf this year

We’re still stuck on 38 senior flags.

We did not play well at all in the first half. 6.3 to 1.7, then we played some scintillating footy and got 8 points up during the third, before getting well beaten in the 4th to go down by 11 points (against Foster of all [censored] teams). It still hurts 😩😩😩.

Leongatha are building a nice dynasty atm, 3 of the last 4 flags in Gippy League.

While I really have NFI, wouldn't Gold Coast get what they want with some second rounders (like our 23 etc)? Where's a points nerd when you need one? @old55

Great intel @demonforever

For me the only elephant in the room with this is will GC let go of him? He’s contracted and I can’t see why they would want to? I want them to, I just can’t see they will.

Any intel on that part of the equation?

I reckon they would if he actually says he wants out….. just jostling about it would occur

Me neither. But they need Trac more than they need Humphrey. Not only does Trac make them a much better team straight away, he sells memberships and sponsorships. Also, if Humphrey has even slightly drifted into "would like to go home at some stage", they might decide they're better facilitating that now than waiting till he's a FA or OOC.

I know you guys read and scroll through a lot of innuendo but trust me, this is on the money. Club is also aware of who the mole is in the club also and this is being dealt with next week. A sacking will occur shortly but won't be made out to be a sacking to protect the person's future involvement at club land

So about Chaplin's departure...

The Suns have to match bids for Uwland (projected picks 1-3), Patterson (4-7) and Addinsal (20-35).

Let’s say picks 2, 6 and 30.

Under the new system thats 2481, 1659 and 454 then a 10% discount for each makes it 2233, 1493, 409. For a total of 4135.

They currently have 6, 14, 17 and 34. Change those picks post free agency compo to 7, 16, 19 and 38. That’s 3540 points.

So they’re a little short as is. But they don’t really need any more picks they just need Flanders and anyone else out to cover Tracc and anyone else in.

Then they start shuffling picks back.

16 goes to a team for 30, 31 and 45 for instance and they bank 100 extra points. Repeat this a few times and they make up the gap.

The major difference this year is they did clamp down on the value of those later picks. In previous years it was so easy to collect on the picks in the 40’s as they were hugely overvalued. Those deals are now way less profitable.

What if he IS Kingie!

Is anyone running a betting market on who the leaker will turn out to be? I mean the speed at which some of the stories got out with intimate detail suggests the person was almost typing the sms during the meetings

My guess is Richo. But I’m purely guessing. I have no confirmed intel.

Call it a gut feel.

Richo would have known about King's appointment which was crucially not leaked.
