It seems every time I ask you a question referring to "the totality of your comments" that you find difficult to answer you revert to personal insults. It's a pretty simple question. What's your bottom line from the Suns?

What's YOUR personal bottom line from the Suns to do the deal and below which you'd open up the conversation with Adelaide again - just referencing "the totality of your comments"

The only way we get Bailey Humphrey is if GC believe we will retain Petracca if necessary. The only way they believe that is if it's true.

Strapping on the parachute now?

There's definitely talent there but most of it is very raw and needs protection to develop effectively.

Pick 7 & 8 is not a ideal for us, it signals a full rebuild. Our midfield will be ultra thin in that case. We'd finish bottom 2 but I guess at least we'll have an early pick next year in the last year before Tasmania. Humphrey (or retaining Petracca for that matter) provides more than just his playing contribution, he also provide a layer of protection for Langford, Windsor, Lindsay and Tholstrup.

Where's your house?

2 and a half feet shorter than Mason Cox! 2 and a half inches taller than Caleb Daniel!

We want Humphrey, we can't open the discussion to just picks or picks and Rogers because as soon as we do Humphrey is off the table. We need to run the clock down on Humphrey and be prepared to retain Petracca.

Seriously LRFE - a minnow, an orca and a white pointer.

5 years left

Oliver - Aleer - Steele is an easy trade scenario if we want Steele.

As @Lucifers Hero and others have said pick 1 on night 2 has some extra value. Hope we hold it.

or that we hold Petracca ...

Are you his mum?

It's probably a longshot to get Humphrey to MFC, he can bide his time trying to win flags at GC and then get to Hawthorn or Collingwood in 2029, or even take a $3M sign-on bonus at Tasmania who can take him as a FA. I actually think there's more incentive for GC to do the deal than there is for Humphrey, they're not getting a Petracca when he's traded in future. But it's really up to Humphrey.

Agree, with the PSD threat perfectly placed with WC we need to be getting 12 or F1 in the deal with something back to Freo.

Que?

Guesswork

McVee should be grateful if we send him to the PSD, WC are probably closer to a flag than Freo anyway.

Lamb has traded peanuts for peanuts recently and in the meantime we've gone to the draft with multiple first round picks. Yeah his speculative trades amounted to nothing, but cost nothing.

How about you post a link to your post that said Oliver's contract was a bad idea at the time ...

We can help there, give us 12 and we'll give you McVee and the Spargo compensation pick

Fremantle traded Hogan to GWS for pick 54, it's a bit rich to blame Tim Lamb for that.

Luke Jackson is the only similar level player we've traded out in living memory and we extracted good value there. Melbourne trading myths ...
