If we include 24, I'd suspect we get an F2 back from the Suns, for whatever that's worth

Maybe one day people will realise we are keen for Trac to go

From Twomey just now CHRISTIAN PETRACCADiscussions have been ongoing between Melbourne and Gold Coast on a deal for Petracca, who has four years left on his contract at the Dees. Melbourne made Bailey Humphrey its No.1 priority in a deal, having long targeted him, but the Suns are adamant he is not going anywhere despite him pushing for a return to Victoria. With him off the table, the Demons have their eyes on the Suns' picks No.7 and 8 in exchange for Petracca and later draft selections to assist Gold Coast's bidding situation for top Academy pair Zeke Uwland and Dylan Patterson.

I doubt they get more than a 2nd rounder for him Might be a handy McVee replacement

I like this game from The Dove™ shows a bit more of his run and carry ability/speed on display in the 2nd half of the video

Oh boy The Demons midfielder's remaining lucrative five-year contract adds a critical layer to the trade talks, with the Giants' future third-round pick expected to be put forward in the discussions over a deal. Other later picks, as well as potential pick slides, are also tipped to be raised in coming days as the trade gets worked through between the clubs.

Yeah I like him, certainly wouldn't be unhappy with the pick I like the group of The Dove, Oskar Taylor, Grlj if we're looking for the more dynamic X-factor types

I don't have enough knowledge on the kids to have too strong an opinion I just watch the tapes on 'Footy Stuff' YouTube Channel Oskar Taylor looks the prototype half back with size, explosive speed, decent kicking. But also has his moments where he goes Jayden Hunt mode. With that being said he looks more like a Blakey, Weddle than he does Hunt. Grlj has some amazing highlights then has other footage where he looks rushed and panicky. Fantastic speed and agility though. Sam Cumming looks average for a guy touted to be a top 10 pick Dyson Sharp looks a mediocre athlete and just an okay kick but looks a good stoppage player. It would feel like a backwards step getting rid of Oliver/Trac then getting Sharp Dovaston I like but I don't know if he'd be a high enough level small forward to justify taking in the top 10

I like Oskar Taylor, he is my man of the 2025 draft From the footage available online, I really don't see it in Sam Cumming

Do we want someone with weak character at the club like Humphrey who is letting his friends do his bidding on social media? Maybe we are trading Trac for Trac?

Nothin new Melbourne could end up reaping Gold Coast’s No.7 and 8 draft picks for Christian Petracca this season but first will have to concede star half forward Bailey Humphrey is off limits. Gold Coast and Melbourne are yet to have detailed talks about a trade for Petracca but it would now be a shock if he did not play for the Suns. The Suns secured pick 7 by trading Sam Flanders to St Kilda and are open to moving on pick 8 as the club amasses points for academy picks Zeke Uwland and Dylan Patterson. Gold Coast has been steadfast that top 10 pick Humphrey is not up for trade despite meeting Demons coach Steven King. So if the Demons want to bolster their draft hand — they currently do not have a first-round pick — they could take the Suns early selections and then hand back enough points to help Damien Hardwick’s side.

The Spruce Moose!

Never seen a melt over trading a 30 year old for two top ten* pix, quite extraordinary

I reckon in that scenario Essendon or Richmond would want to push one of their top 5 picks into next year, or else we won't take the risk

Lamb stated he was happy with the McVee trade as pick 23 should land us a very good player He has acknowledged the compromised nature of this years draft, and used it to justify the decision to trade our first pick away (no issues with that), but no where did he say we have no interest in this draft Unfortunately people are hearing what they want to hear
