Backline at the Saints. He likely beats out Hamill for that role with us.

Backline - Rivers
Mids - Jones
Forwards - Chappy
Development - Whitford

Scarlo and Hawk as part time key back/key forward mentors.

Hopefully room for one more, either a senior assistant, or a VFL coach/development 2IC

Hamill is coming as well. Perhaps Hamill will be forward coach and Chaplin simply ball movement and strategy/senior assistant. Maybe, baby.

I didn't know Riv was at St Kilda. Maybe he can get on the blower to Cam Bruce too and we really get the band back together. (not going to happen, I know)

Is it time to consider what 7 & 8 will get us in a trade for another player / with another club?

No. It's Humphrey time and it's nowhere near deadline day. Cool ya jets, Rusty. Lamb is here for the slaughter/fair deal. Trac for Humphrey.

The Deebrief bros are just trying to stay relevant. Demonland is where the action is.

We lost interest in Derksen either due to his contract, injury or the new coach simply not valuing him. He’s yet to find a new suitor. There’s no indication trade price was the issue.

I'm talking about last year. When GWS blocked his trade.

But who told Sam? Only Clarry, his manager, King, Lamb and Richardson were at the meeting!

I bet it didn't come form the club. And I bet some mayo was applied because media reports are UP TO $700K.

Who doesn't care if they trash the club or if the club gets fair value.

No, I'm sure it came from Clarry's management, but we should have had a press release ready to go. Meeting is over, publish, please. It took us 2.5 hours to publish anything, so a vacuum that allowed rumours to undermine our potential to get anything back.

Adam and just about anyone else.

Ps. I think I'm living a bit of rent free in your mind old boy as keep tagging and following me around in every thread.

That looks like me and you.

Just saw a comment on Bailey Humphreys recent instagram post and look who liked the comment 👀👀

The comment ‘I’ll move to Moe if you come to deez’

Jake Lever has also liked the original Moe post. Sexy.

Happy to back Kingy on this one.

Kingy and Dazzler.

I would have thought that horse has bolted, any thoughts of fair compo went out the door when we let it be known we would pay up to half his wage. Clubs know when a fire sale is on.

We didn't let it be known, Sam Edmund did, although I suppose we did let it happen by horrible coms and not beating Edmund with our own press release.

Had to look him up.

Rory Atkins Stats

He also played with blonde hair for a bit like I did in Year 6.

Worse case scenario for Heath is PSD or DFA. It can’t be snagged. He’s not good enough for a snag

Well, that's not true, because Derksen wasn't good enough to be snagged either and was. But this will get done. I hear he's excited to join.

Very interesting.

That's all I've got to contribute at this stage.

Should have had an actual forward coaching the group 4 years ago. Blows my mind we had Stafford coaching the forwards. I’m pretty sure that’s who was coaching them

As someone who was a coach for 20 years, if you've ever coached, you'll know that the best coaches are often not the best players. Bizarre, I know.

It's very obviously @dazzledavey36

That's some nice shade Tim's throwing at himself. Perfect cover. 👏 I concur. Dazzler is Timmy.

I was basing it on them getting picks from Hawks for Humphrey and then on trading. So if Hawks give them 8 or 9 (whatever it is now) plus extras Suns hold 7, 8 & 9 and pass on two of those to us for Trac. They still have enough points for Academy picks then.

Right, so trading Humphrey to one of their main competitors next year. Not gonna happen.

We hold all the cards.

It's okay. You can dare to dream.

So Gold coast needs to decide petracca or Humphrey? Ball is in there court and which player gets them closer to a flag in next few years

Meanwhile, they risk Humphrey going to a competitor next year or when his contract is up, and the deal they get then will not be Christian Petracca.

They can send the picks to us for Trac though.

And then they can't match their academy players this year without going into a points deficit, and risk academy prospects next year.

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.

Along with Viney, who now surely has to play a midfield role to usher these kids (Langford, Windsor, Lindsay and Kolt) through their 2nd and 3rd seasons. Sometimes you get an Oliver who has an immediate impact on contested situations, but most of the time, you'll need to develop their tanks and two way running, as well as core strength.

With Clarry out the door, even if Trac goes and we get Humphrey, it's a midfield that will struggle on the inside and potentially in transition until they get their tanks up IMO.

People might disagree with me here but honestly ANB

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for being compassionate when it comes to our players, but ANB left a massive playing and leadership void in our team, and we seemed more than happy to ship him off for a token second round pick

ANB walked straight into Adelaide’s best 23 and leadership group - he was clearly highly rated by them but we gave them an easy out

I don’t think we should be like Dodoro was for Essendon and be a nightmare club to deal, but I think we’ve been too willing to take unders or too happy to overpay just to get deals done under Lamb’s tenure

I think he needs to get this Trac deal exactly right or he should rightly be under the pump going into next year

By being fair traders, that helps in a situation like the Trac one. Gold Coast know we're not trying to screw them. We like win win trades.

They’ve committed to making a fair offer for Tracc, they have plenty of picks to do that.

They don't have plenty picks. What are you talking about, DS? If they traded both top 10 picks for Trac, they'd have to go into a point deficit and risk kids next year. They're not going to do that. They are going to posture, very likely up until the very last moment.

Agree. GCS, in their eyes, have the draft capital to get Petracca...

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.
