    The funny thing about all this:

    Suns could easily end up with picks 7, 8 and Petracca. Which, despite trajectory possibilities for Humphrey, is a huge win for them.

    Taking the red and blue goggles off, it's bizarre they don't do a straight swap Humphrey for Petracca - they are closer to a flag and they still build for future.

    THey may just rate Humphrey that highly looks like we do. Would you easily give up a Trac or Clarry in 2019 for an aging star?

    Given his age only a short term solution but he will improve the Dees forward setup. Despite playing for the Pies I always liked Mihocek and see him as an honest toiler who will play for the team. Good pickup.

    Couldn't have said it better myself

    A better tactic would be for Humphrey's manager to come out and say: "we understand that Bailey signed a contract, and when he signed it his family circumstances were different. We have told Gold Coast why Bailey needs to return home, and we hope they would do the right thing by the kid and let him get back home to family"

    You have to flip the narrative, and make it seem like GC are stopping a kid from going home on compassionate grounds, DESPITE there being a good trade solution on the table that gets everyone what they want.

    Lets see how this plays out

    you need to be on the payroll this is exactly what they should do. Make GC out to the be bad guys which can hurt them as a destination club going forward is the right way to go about it. No more being Nice

    Unfortunately King is doing what should have been done 2 seasons ago, winning b&F,AA& flag dosent excuse you from poor behaviours which impacted on the whole team

    100% , the impact that can have on a group seeing a (albeit great ) player get away with off field antics which caught up to him resulting in reduced on performance , impacting the team and continually be coddled and given games and chances is no good for a club.

    2nd round draft pick at best for him now i reckon

    plus half his salary.

    that's the worry now. Why do we always seem to end up in these situations where we are on the back foot , and leaks etc devaluing our "assets"

    Massive first Test for the new Regime. We're 0 for 4 at the moment and the club needs a W.

    Unfortunately we have a history of bringing knives to gun fights and we really aren't very attractive at the moment.

    0-4 ? Who are you taking about ? Flanders and?

    Dees have advised him it would be a large uplift in $$$. Not prepared to talk money until a commitment is made to request a trade

    If that's correct it's a terrible tactic. No one is going to demand a trade without knowing what$$ they will get

    Thought Lamby spoke well, was quite clear, reiterated that Gold Coast would have to come to us and turn our heads. Now we’ve gotta follow through on this

    I fear the offer and ultimate deal we get will have us fans shaking our heads

    They're spending over 4 million dollars on a group that collectively has 1 all australian selection and zero best and fairests. that one all australian was Liam Ryan 5 years ago..

    It's all hype and it's a huge chunk of their salary cap for hype.

    Their young core is promising, but it's not elite, their young kids are no better than ours outside of NAS.

    But then we have Kozzie who while different is also supremely talented.

    Classic St Kilda bringing in has beens or good but not elite level talent at over inflated prices, been doing it since the 80s .

    Walking around Melbourne's most popular walking tracks for a secret meeting is an interesting choice. For an instantly recognisable former player,a 200cm just announced senior coach and a player who's manager/ club hours earlier categorically ruled out any move

    Clarry's challenge is reach the brutal running levels required of an AFL mid. Possible Dees don't think he can check that box at the level required.

    More the kicking skills required, same as trac. Many including me lamented seeing Oliver trac and Viney lining up in the centre square time after time given they all lack kicking skills and high level footy IQ that the best midfields have. King knows what is needed in the midfield to be successful and those 3 ain't it.
