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

    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.

    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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
