Last few pages should be put on a Max Gawn thread. Stay on topic please people, getting majorly disrailed...

There were myriads of us that asked for a little transparency from the club. We now are getting that and people are still unhappy?

I reckon we did OK! Compare it to Nth Melbourne...Spargo in....We would all be losing our collective minds.

Why would Carlton do this? It seems like really bad deal to move up one pick? Am I missing something lol?

Hawks supporting mate reckons he is a jet, that just has not had much continuity due to injuries....says his kicking is not that bad, does run himself into trouble occasionally. With injury free pre season reckons will be a real asset to us. I hope he is right....Welcome CJ

He was banned from any VFL....is he even eligible to play? Thought JUH was bad, this one stinks....Goo Blues!!

Petracca seems to have a useful player manager in Tom. There have been so few leaks during trade period regarding us. Strange!!

Hmm. Really not sure about him. Had in supercoach team for bit of this year. Watched him much closer. He does some amazing things...but also crazy stuff. Tends to fade in and out of games. Super athletic and has a lot of good traits....needs to work on disposal, and decision making. On that note....should fit right in. Backing King and assistants to round out our players.

Is this the time either Jed Walter, or Ethan Reid decide they seriously want out....or Humphrey have a hissing fit. I reckon this will ruffle players feathers...tbc!

2 years left on contract. Not sold either way....but easily makes our best 22 when fit. Nice disposal skills, high impact player. Would have to consider imo.

I think we would save this selection for Latrelle. This trade period has been pretty bleak so far. Having another Pickett would excite all us. Presume White will go later than that too.

Collingwood apparently searching around to swap De Goey for a first rounder...would we bite with Petracca heading out???

I hope he ends up with massive egg on his face at some stage in his life. It would be karma! [censored] him ;)

Maybe it's Humphrey himself!

He wants us bad!

Ah good! At meeting with MFC I am sure they would have devised plan/so to make it happen. Go back to meet with GC and say you are really [censored] unhappy, why am I being held to ransom? And the ball starts rolling. He can say look if I do not get my way this is going to social media. Could see the BH trade happening from the outset. Have not wavered since he was mentioned as a possibility. All this talk of 7 and 8 for a superstar like CP is delusional. Surprised so many are happy with a few picks.

They want Petracca. They want JUH. They want their 3 talented academy kids...2 are top 10, both probably going higher than 7 & 8. We want a player, probably a player and a pick, then they can get all their academy riches. They cannot get all they want, unless we absolutely roll over for picks that we would cover in points for them anyway. It is madness. BH coming into play makes most sense, they simply have to give a player of quality to get it done. They know it too.

Not so sure Oliver is just a kid anymore. Honestly I think it is an indictment on players like Clarry and Petracca not becoming leaders within the club. Lastly I am not sure that a "young" Oliver is any good as a role model for the "actual" younger players on our list. Hence why we trading him, not getting value for money, nor setting standards. Loved him for most of his career, but last few years he has been symptomatic with our fall. Perhaps coincidental, perhaps not!

He could just film himself scrambling some eggs in a super chaotic fashion....and send it to Dimma to read into it however he likes!

Maybe we are not leaking for a change. If we did in fact have 2nd meeting, which seems extremely likely. Surely, we have said this is somewhat how it needs to happen. Go back to GC, and be adamant you want out....not to Hawthorn, or Collingwood, but nominate us...we can give you more. Kick up more of a fuss after you have meeting with them, saying you are homesick, and have been last few years(hence looking around last year too). Gold Coast can then soften their stance and also know that he is key to getting Petracca over the line....especially when we say thanks but no thank you to picks 7 and 8. I actually think Humphrey will be somewhat of a test case, as to what can be achieved through social media, when wanting to move. Expect to see lot more of this in future, which, pushed by manager and player.

For anybody doubting his recruitment, or what we paid... Would strongly advise to watch this 7-8 minutes and reserve your judgements. We should all be rapt by his inclusion. Wants to be a leader too....so much to like.

With no more supersub.... can see him being an important role in our forward line, ruck duties. Welcome Big fella! You will become a cultural figure around here if you bash and crash for us. Good luck!
