You can just see this bloke in a Collingwood jumper.

What does Collingwood give Gold Coast to make this happen? Daicos?

What is we are freeing up some cap space for someone in next years trade period?

Those saying our F1 for anything are ridiculous. We are bottom 2 next year. We need at least one gun from next years draft. I would not even consider it unless a team offered me two top 5 picks from this years.

Can one summise from this it's either Humphrey for Tracc straight swap, or Tracc for Flanders and some change?

I really hope the club is smart about the high value of our F1. Our F2 should be pretty valuable too and perhaps it should be the one on offer, along with Trac obviously and potentially picks this year depending on what is coming back.

Agree (bottom 6 maybe)

Last draft before Tassie.

Low picks will carry a premium and who knows how they will tighten up the Northern Academy rort

My only reluctance is sometimes you get a top 5 pick who is a future captain, no nonsense, culture setter, sure thing 250 gamer. But we thought we had them in the Dean Bailey days and they still didn’t work out.

In terms of talent I’d have no issues taking Humphrey straight up over anyone in next years draft even if we end up giving pick 2.

And if that cost ends up being selling Tracc for a bunch of late stuff so be it.

How can Collingwood make a trade happen?

And Carlton will have to give up Curnow to do it, which they won't. They like Collingwood have no good picks this year.

And GC don't need future picks.

Trac wants to be traded to the Suns. Neither Pies or Blues have anything of enough value to trade with them since Curnow isn't on the cards for the interstate move. We're in the box seat here if we can convince Humphrey to join the dumpster fire!

Let's hope we have thrown enough money at him to hide the dumpster fire

Would do Petracca and 23 or Spargo comp for Humphrey in a heartbeat

Humphrey doesn’t want to be a forward, he’s an inside mid. If Petracca goes to Gold Coast his minutes will be cut down in there further again. We’re blowing ours up, there’s a spot there if he wants it with an exciting young group around him. I also think we could offer crazy good money, and more than those other two clubs.

My mail is it's the complete other way round. Suns envisage Tracc as an almost permanent forward, allowing them to play Humphrey full time inside mid. They're not competing for the same role up there.

Not a chance in hell Trac goes to the Suns to play permanent forward.

He will play a Dusty hybrid role. That is 100% what Dimma would have sold him.

With Rowell and Anderson neither of them will be permanent mids. Have to get Touk Miller and at least one other defensively minded player in the guts. Then the same issue up forward

Collingwood offers the best future lol. 90% of their list is prehistoric and Nick Daicos is going to get the biggest offer in history from Tasmania. it's a real possibility in 2 years time we're a finals team and Collingwood are where West Coast are.

Aside from daicos who do the Pies have to sell their future to him?

List wise for the future we are better placed especially with Tassie coming in

Would be HUGE if we get him. Maybe our biggest get ever

… Unless Pendlebury’s kids come through soon

Kelvin Templeton says hi ;)

Maybe this has been in action for a while, linked in with the King appointment and possibly Flanders as well.

The Goody sacking was not a surprise, but the timing was. Maybe King was always our man and not Buckley. Something occurred to rush King’s appointment. All occurring when Geelong were playing finals.

Maybe King and the club may have been working on a Trac and Humphries/Flanders trade for months. All contracted players. It’s not like these big life decisions are made within a matter of days/weeks or the pieces to puzzle just evolved naturally. Particularly puzzles pieces this complex.

King has a history with Humphries and Flanders. JT has a history with Humphries. Trac would not move interstate last year. A sudden change from an exit meeting feels too rushed.

Note; The caveats here is, if all this actually occurs.
