Gold Coast's position is that they won't trade Humphrey and clearly Melbourne's position is that it will trade Petracca, even if they're reluctant.
Nothing Cameron has said is at odds with that situation. The only question is will they blink on Humphrey. We'll see.
They've committed to Trac, so they will. It's only a matter of time.

He'll be in a Melbourne jumper by the weekend, so he can start following Hawthorn as well if he wants, but it's not happening.

But you didn't answer my question anyway.
I know.
And I've answered it elsewhere.
Rogers is a dynamic small forward / mid who has very nice skills by hand and foot, but as of AFL level so far, is not a big ball winner.

Spargo averaged 11.2 disposals a game and we on DL canned him for not getting the ball enough. So honest question - why would he be a good get?
I didn't can him. He will be an important role player if he comes.

4 minutes ago, Turner said: whats his tackling pressure like? i always thought at GC him and lombard would play the gryan/mannagh/close role at the suns with the mids theyve got but seems he doesnt want to settle for that. do we see him as nibbler/spargo or as viney or does he have butters gulden potential?
we're good at doing this and then pies/hawks/blues swoop in please not again
His tackling is good, but I haven't heard how great our interest is in him.

Just now, DemonOX said: Funny I am skimming through all the posts and only interested in posts from @Demon Forever and basically ignoring all other posts, no offence my fellow demonland posters but I want to know one way or another 🤣.
That's okay. I'm crying.

I think people are justified in being pessimistic.
When we start being top dogs like Geelong every year for a decade, I think people might come around.
Until then, I’m keeping my safety blanket.
Funnily enough we've won the same amount of flags as the great Geelong has in the last decade, and still have 3 flags on them overall. No need to be pessy, we'll be back up there before you can say "Steven King".

5 hours ago, dazzledavey36 said: Hes similar to Pickett except he is more mid first, forward second. He'd start forward at AFL level and has the ability to go into the midfield and provide that good 5-7 minute burst similar to how Kozzie was transitioning into the midfield.
I watched him at under 18 level and if he was 182cm tall I have no doubt he would have been a top 3 pick. Hes a jet but hes bloody tiny..
I think the thing that offsets this is his pace. I compare him (crudely) with Spargo, but the attribute he has over Charlie is leg speed. Both elite kicks, he's probably more creative by hand than Charlie too, but they're relatively similar players, minus the pace.
If we could walk away with Humphrey, Steele and Rogers for Trac, Clarry and Spargo, we're re-setting beautifully. If I could dream one step further and say replace McVee with Harry Oliver in a Clarry trade, Adam's extremely excited and still a God.

Really? Which past experience?
10 minutes ago, pingu said: GC will be hoping that we fold and then if Humphrey still wants to leave they can hopefully pry as many picks as they can from the Hawks.
Everyone is trying to win here and that would be a double win for the Suns.
A win for everyone is Humphrey for Trac and Trac for Humphrey.

No they don't. They need one of their top 10 picks for academy bids.
I know we love to Eeyore, but let's live in the real world for a little bit.
