HE SUCKS!

Bailey you need to fire this dude, he is useless

He said there’s more to it which is personal and he won’t go into it which is completely fair given the kid is already suffering due to the stubbornness of his club.

    I'm with Danny on this one, i think he's just told them that this is coming up again in 12 months, confirmed BH's desire to get out publicly and given the Suns something to think about. It's still incredibly unlikely but this was a last roll of the dice for 2025.

    If this is the situation then the Dees need to hold their nerve and hold firm with Petracca and walk away .... for now

    Oakes was considered with his wording and said everything he could without making it very difficult for his client to assimilate back at GC.

    Sounded more filthy at the Suns than I was expecting but also pretty resigned to the fact that they won't be changing their mind.

    Dumb list management from the Suns. Humphrey's not going to be worth more in 12 months when he's even further back in the pecking order.

    Sounds like he was equivocal in his answers but it won’t do the club any good if we’re already meeting with GC today to discuss picks

    Again, Humphrey and his manager needed to go much harder if they wanted this to get done this trade period

    It sucks because I can absolutely see him requesting a trade next year when we’re not in the box seat

    I wish GC didn't know how much we needed Trac out

    We have no hope to call their bluff

    Won't get done. He'll wind up at Collingwood or Hawthorn next off season.

    His manager basically said he wanted to come back to Victoria for family reasons. GC not allowing it this year. Humphrey will try again next off season and push harder for a club he'd want to play at (Hawks or Pies).

    He’s not going to lose talent in 12 months and the best they’re getting for him now is our pick or spinning 7 and 8 with who’s future picks? Better to get offers next year from clubs with picks in hand.

    Have to think some of the reluctance is Humphrey didn’t really want to join our sinking ship when Hawks and Pies can turn his head next year.

    Whilst we’ve become used to Lamb giving overs in trade negotiations, my assumption is that Guerra and Smith won’t be as willing to accept unders in this scenario. It’s on them just as much as it is Lamb. They’ll need to sign off on any deal. The pressure is on their shoulders too.

    If Bailey genuinely wanted to get to Melbourne I'd say it would be getting done, my gut feel is he doesn't want to come to the Dees, still wants to come back to Victoria but just not to Melbourne. I'd bet that if hawthorn or Collingwood genuinely wanted him and had equal collateral for a trade it would be getting done, not enough noise publicly from Bailey, ie like Curnow, Petracca, Merret, Oliver, Flanders etc to satisfy Gold Coast that he is actually serious, they know they will get Trac either way, of course they are going to stay firm on keeping him. We aren't a destination club for young guns, only for a top up in retirement fund players.

    bad for us, but good on Cammeron for holding firm on a very promising talent.

    Hopefully our team can be just as firm on not trading Tracc.

    • 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.
