I don’t want this thread to end. It’s so much fun. Once it ends, normal programming will resume and we’ll be back to bun fight mode 🙁

All aligned for a cause... hating Trac, hating CAC, hating BH's manager... and then soon, back to hating other posters...

I didn’t really believe it until I saw the comments from his friend. It’s clear he wants out but to us I don’t know…

He wants us bad!

Can we get an Instagram update?

None at this stage….

He needs to follow someone asap!!

They may aswell just do the trade today if nothing is holding it up (no player discussed) 🤣

Too many people on here pinning their hopes, dreams and unrealistic wishes on the word of a stranger on here yet there is absolutely no media attention around Bailey Humphrey being desperate to return home.

What do you mean there’s no media attention about him?

He was pictured with our coach,

His club have said publicly he wants to move,

Media are asking his (now Ex) teammates about his situation,

Media (Cal Twomey) have said he has reasons to move and he is driving this.

Indeed.

Let's hope we can ultimately snag him in a deal.

Just come to our dumb club, kick the dumb ball and make us dumb [censored] happy Bailey.

Every proposed trade that the media is putting out there comes with the caveat that he is off the table.

Every story about Trac, Oliver, Merrit & Curnow is about them wanting out and their photos are splashed about as the big names moving. If Bailey was also in the mix to be a serious mover this trade period he would also be talked about in this way yet he is not.

It is simply not going to happen just because we wish it were so.

I would have hoped to have heard something by last Fryday, but that’s what happens when you have an unreliable sauce.

Only reporting what I hear from people in the know. Which includes me on many topics.

As I've said last week my guess is that to force the issue is Lamb comes out today and says we love Trac, he is a superstar and we are more than happy for him to stay. This opens the door for the Humphrey strong trade request wither publicly or to GC privately.

What's the in the background:

1. Trac wants to leave

2. We want him gone

3. We are really [censored] at him for telling GC we will fold in trade for BH

4. GC have a lot of marketing/sponsorship already committed around Trac

5. BH wants to come to Melb

Sounds more like wishful opinion of what is happening, rather than what is actually happening. Appreciate you giving updates, but it feels like you are stringing a few along with 'sources' that you won't reveal. It is extremely unlikely Humphrey deal is back on. Happy to be proven wrong though.

Food pun era.

If Bailey requests a trade late in the piece, perhaps we believe it might force GC’s hand and make them more willing to trade him for Petracca.

There is a lot of selective blindness on this thread, in many cases from people yelling about the dangers of selective blindness.

Well this isn’t ideal. Bailey we wear red & blue

You mean to tell me you've done NO work for two weeks?

Well, not NO work. Very little.

And it's because you were refreshing an internet forum about football?

No. That's incorrect. Just one page of an internet forum about football on one player who doesn't, and will probably never, play for the team I support.

Every five minutes for two full weeks?

No! NO! Of course not. NO! Absolutely not. Sometimes it descended into a flurry of puns and I logged off for ten minutes to wait for that [censored] to subside.
