Zero chance this happens. We'll be forced to take picks in the end. The only question remains is what the picks going back to Gold Coast will look like.

It's not impossible though unlikely.

Fact is, like BH, the clubs hold the leverage for a contacted player.

Personally I'd let him go, but there is no obligation to.

Listening to Morris, it is very obvious that he is getting all of his info from the Suns. The chatter of 7&8 for Trac and 24 is all framed as 'Suns will do it if they get 24 back'. It's only about what is good for the Suns. It seems that Melbourne aren't leaking, which is good because a) leaks to the media suck (our toilet blogging BBQ enthusiast aside) and b) there is still the chance that we play hard ball with Humphrey being the end target

This definitely seems to be the case

Not saying that there is anything more than a small chance that Humphrey requests a trade, but it seems like none of the info in the media is coming from us

The Steven King appointment was a surprise to everyone, so I’m hoping (PRAYING) we have something up our sleeve that hasn’t been leaked to the media yet

Lol… DL is the uncool boy who’s holding out hope that the hot girl (Bailey) is into him.

Don't agree it's a culture killer for the Suns. In this case, the only way the trade happens if by Gold Coast getting one of the games elite and most marketable players who will immediately improve their team and improve them to contending for a premiership. It's not like they're just trading a player to their home state because they asked - they're getting a rare opportunity as above. If they were just trading them on a whim as some clubs have had to do in the past, that's different.

When zooming out, they'd be stupid not to trade Humphrey for Petracca. It's a net benefit for their club to compete and draw more media attention and memberships etc. Humphrey is just one of an endless line of young talent - they're getting another two top 10 kids in this draft alone!

That's like saying keeping Petty in 2023 killed our culture.

Your choice of gif alone tells me you’re legit the uncool teenage boy 😝

What should happen, Humphrey to Melbourne & pick 8 (Humphrey an unproven star). Petracca & pick 24 back ( Petracca a proven superstar with 6 years of great football ahead)

What will happen Petracca & pick 7 & 8 in an average draft pool😢

We have the whip hand, we want a very good player & a first rounder or Trac comes back to see out his career at a brand new environment, something he pushed for.

Don’t buckle MFC, this is the first test for the new regime (all of the footy world is watching)

Trac is almost 30 and Humphrey is 21. A straight swap is completely fair.

I know we're all a bit biased, but is that a relative win/win trade no?

I think so. Trac is proven, Humphrey is growing.

If he was as desperate to get out of the GC and return home for personal reasons then he would have publicly requested a trade. That hasn't happened and will not happen. Dees fans need to come to terms with the picks.

Anyone else feeling similar vibes to this scene in the Neverending Story, when the childlike empress is pleading with Bastian to 'call my name' otherwise their world will disappear and there will just be nothingness?

You just jumped several levels of sadness. This is straight to boss level


Pickers on Trade Radio just mentioned something about BH having an ongoing rift with his manager, I just heard a bit of it. Did anyone else listen?

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
