Don't be surprised if it ends up being:

Oliver to GWS for pick 13 (we pay 35% of his salary).

Petracca and 13 to GC for Humphrey, Pick 7 and F2

That would be amazing but very little chance of getting a 1st round pick for Clarry no matter how much we pay of the salary

Trac for Hump straight swap would be great on it's own!

    I would be 100% happy with this. To move on Oliver and most of his salary, recieve Humphrey for Trac, and have Pick 7 for the draft would be an excellent net result. We can then shift focus on how to bring Luke Jackson home next year.

    We won't get anything for Oliver. We are basically asking someone to take him. Will be some ridiculous late pick cause GWS know he isn't coming back to us 😅

    Hi Mitch Keating. 👋

    Gold Coast young gun Bailey Humphrey's social media activity has done little to settle the ongoing rumours that link the Gippsland product to a move back to his home state of Victoria.

    The third-year Suns sensation flew into Melbourne last week before meeting with multiple clubs, one of which being the Demons, who are in conversations with Gold Coast over a deal that sees Christian Petracca head north.

    Humphrey was pictured in discussions with new Melbourne coach Steven King and club icon turned assistant Nathan Jones just hours after his manager denied his client meeting with clubs.

    The 21-year-old, who is under contract at Carrara until the end of 2028, posted on Instagram on Wednesday with the oh-so subtle John Denver tune Take Me Home, Country Roads attached.

    Humphrey, who hails from Moe in Victoria's central-east, captioned the post, which included an array of images with Suns teammates, "I'M FROM MOE", a reference to an iconic Street Talk segment from The Footy Show, which ceased in 2019.

    While Humphrey's management and the Suns have denied the concept of a trade, the powerful midfield-forward post is sure to spark further speculation.

    Suns list lead Craig Cameron stood firm when quizzed on the future of the former Pick 6 selection on Monday.

    "It's unusual [the situation], but we won't be trading Bailey Humphrey," Cameron said.

    "It doesn't matter how many clubs he meets; we won't be trading him. He understands he's contracted for three more years."

    Negotiations between the Suns and Demons over Petracca's future are likely to involve one or both of Gold Coast's two top 10 picks.

    A trade that saw Sam Flanders join St Kilda on Wednesday saw Pick 7 head the other way, adding to Gold Coast's selections of Picks 8, 15, 18, 36, 52, 70 and 74.

    The trade period deadline is set for 7:30pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, October 15.

    GNF sadly passed away. A great bloke who only ever shared information that he gained from his connections with MFC coterie groups. Sadly missed by many.

    Good job everyone. Think we learned a lot today.

    We just want it to be our turn for once. Our turn to get the rub of the green. This would make everything ok if we could just land this one player. Nothing else will feel as bad anymore. We need a win ❤️

    Yes it is. I know he would have strong opinions on the capitulation of the Club since he left us in 2023. Sadly, his last game was the Carlton final in 2023

    Really sorry to hear that. His contributions were always valued. I hope he had some comfort with the recent 2021 premiership.

    Not what I've been told. If we are paying him, clubs pay up in a trade. If not, it's a salary dump and we get nothing.
    Might be some shuffling either way but 13 is what we are asking for Oliver. I'm not privy to $$ but passing on the info.

    • 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.

    • 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.
