Next year every big club will have prepared for Bailey Humphrey. We're in a unique position now with Trac. We won't be able to shoot this shot next year.

This is an accurate assessment. Nothing happens in regards to Bailey Humphrey unless he publicly requests a trade home. Otherwise it's picks

👀

He's more committed than Bailey. Too soon?

Holy Shit I hadn't even thought of that.

The kids won't let me listen to Trade Radio in the car so I must have missed it. Why is it that the Trade Radio account on Twitter post the most inane content about trades but didn't include this nugget that has a big impact on the Trac trade? I'm starting to think @Very Jaded is right and there is a conspiracy by the AFL against us. Feeds straight into my MFCSS.

Fashionably late Was it the hour-late team bus, Freo’s win-at-all-costs attitude, or the infamous Fremantle Doctor? No excuses from coach Mick Stinear—just bitter disappointment in missing out on four premiership points. Fremantle skipper Ange Stannett won the toss and kicked with the breeze. Her team made full use of the Doctor, slotting four first-quarter goals. Freo brought the heat—and their kicking boots. Melbourne responded well with goals to Bannan, Pearce and Zanker. Just one point separated the sides at half-time. At the eight-minute mark of the final quarter, skipper Kate Hore threaded a trademark ripper to give the Dees a one-point lead. Demon hearts were hopeful, and the #DeeArmy’s roar was heard on TV. Four minutes later, Stannett replied with a classy goal, weaving through defenders. Freo by five. Our second close loss—both away. Finis certaminis. Match over. The match. Lisa Webb had done her homework—clamping down on Chaplin’s intercepts, sending O’Driscoll to Zanker, and targeting Hanks. Mim Strom won the ruck battle, but Pearce still found a way to impact, including a goal. Kiara Bowers (17 tackles, 27 disposals, 9 coaches votes) and Gaby Newton (31 disposals, 10 tackles, 9 votes) were dominant. Tyla Hanks (16 contested disposals, 14 tackles, 5 votes) and Kate Hore (18 disposals, 5 tackles, 1 goal) fought hard. Mick rotated the midfield—Fitzy, Maeve, Lize, Harris, Zanker and all had moments. Eliza McNamara (23 disposals, 439m gained) starred on one wing; Paxman got busy on the other. Wotherspoon continued her rise (6 tackles, 1 goal). Melbourne needed the doctor: Giorgia Gall rolled her ankle, and Tayla Harris left the field clutching her ribs. Fingers crossed for both. Second-quarter surge After Freo’s blistering start, the Dees lifted with the breeze.We outscored them 3.0 to 0.2, and Hanks and McNamara were relentless, driving the ball forward and applying pressure. A gutsy, spirited team fightback. A shame we couldn’t go on with the job. Meggs’ musings Three games remain. Meggs ran the Ladder Predictor: win one, likely Top 4. Lose all, we could slip to sixth. How well will we compete against the top 5 teams? Kate Hore and Jasmine Garner are tied on 96 AFLW career goals. Ponter sits third on 90. The race to 100 is on. Run home: • Melbourne – Swans, Cats, Lions • Hawthorn – Power, Bombers, Kangaroos We’ve dropped to third. Need to win one more than the Hawks to reclaim second. Coaches and Next Week Mick Stinear: “Freo brought greater intensity. We got a lesson today.” No excuses for the late bus. Lisa Webb praised her side’s first-quarter pressure and Gaby O’Sullivan’s shutdown job on Zanker. Next week: Sydney at Casey Fields, Saturday 1:05pm. Our first-ever clash against the Swans for premiership points. It’s Pride Round—plenty of reasons to show up at the Field of Dreams. The team will run out in the bespoke pride guernsey. Go Dees.

Here is the entire segment but the text about the "Bailey Humphrey medical and manager change" starts from 24mins 44 seconds.

Here is the text that was read out by Liam Pickering on Trade Radio. Reckon one of our new mates sent the text. 🤣

Possibly the piece that finally unlocks it.

He’s someone who is worth Pick 103. Have some respect. 🤪

Also FWIW there has been no mention on any social media from anybody in the media about Bailey Humphrey changing management or doing a medical at the Dees.

FWIW nobody in the footy media is talking about Bailey Humphrey in any trade for Trac.

To be fair you should always take any information that you receive from anonymous sources on the internet with a grain of salt.

Nothing on Social Media so I would temper the excitement.
