What's he made clear?

From Twomey just now

CHRISTIAN PETRACCA

Discussions have been ongoing between Melbourne and Gold Coast on a deal for Petracca, who has four years left on his contract at the Dees. Melbourne made Bailey Humphrey its No.1 priority in a deal, having long targeted him, but the Suns are adamant he is not going anywhere despite him pushing for a return to Victoria. With him off the table, the Demons have their eyes on the Suns' picks No.7 and 8 in exchange for Petracca and later draft selections to assist Gold Coast's bidding situation for top Academy pair Zeke Uwland and Dylan Patterson.

I would assume that that means he has made it clear to the Suns that he wants to return home.

I love it. we give up a contracted star level player, the Suns get everything they want including us gift wrapping their academy picks for them and we get a couple of picks and told to shut up and be happy.

Lets see how serious a footy club we are. If we're serious one of Bailey Humphrey or Christian Petracca is a demon in 2026.

Who is feeding Twomey I wonder

It’s the same thing over and over from the media

I am so mad that Humphrey has such a small town loser manager and not one of the big boys

That is from this article but I don't believe that that is new information that wasn't already out there before today.

I think we all need to be prepared that that is what will likely receive for Trac.

The hopes of Bailey being included in any trade are Buckleys and none.

To be fair I do most of my posting from the lavatory.

ummm ... need to know what "Bailey has made it extremely clear" really means. it's a bit ambiguous.

if it means he will ask for a trade, that means it's still a chance

gc being intransigent at this stage of the game is to be expected. puts the pressure clearly on gc to reconsider and gives them some sort of excuse and face-saving, if the reasons are purely bh "personal go-home" reasons.

We need to call their bluff

Lamb needs to publicly say tomorrow that we look forward to Trac being in red and blue next year as it appears GC are not forthcoming with giving us appropriate compensation for him in a trade

And tell CAC to call us when he and Dimma are willing to trade Humphrey

Past performance says he will doing nothing of the sort and we will take the picks and end up giving the Gold Coast the return picks they need so they can bolster their list even further with Academy Picks.

This would be 1000% my play.

Tim Lamb on the early trade tomorrow morning saying we're walking away from the trade table as the only deal we'd be interested in isn't on offer.

If that was the case this deal would have already been done

We can absolutely go public and hint that Humphrey has valid reasons to return to Victoria and that GC are being unreasonable in not accepting his request, despite it being their right

However Trac has no valid reasons to move to the GC beyond being a diva, so tough [censored]

If the club don't put up the shutters and Say NO, Its B.H for Tracc or the deal is of and walk away I will be very peeeeeezzed of! I don't care what Tracc wants, its this or NUTTIN!

I feel the same way but have a sinking feeling it will be pics.

Every other player wanting a move has nominated a club, bar Bailey Humphrey. If he was 100% committed to joining us, he would have done so already. You don't leave it till the last 3 days. Maybe he wants to get home, but his preferred club doesn't have the draft capital.

And the fact that draft picks have already been discussed for Trac's move means the Humphrey was always just a pipedream.

Now watch Lamb get bent over with the Trac deal and hand over every pick that GCS needs to get their academy players.
