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.

There's no comparison between Humphrey and Petracca.

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.

When I checked a couple of days ago I put ‘football club’ in and nothing came up… now it does. I’m just praying my fat fingers pressed the wrong letter and that’s why it didn’t come up 😂

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.

Yeah I don’t remember seeing them when I checked last… okay I’m in panic mode now!!!

He was following Collingwood yesterday when I went through who he follows haha.

I wasn't responding to you Adam. I was responding to @Random Task by asking a simple question - as I have no idea on Rogers.

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.

[censored] DEAL SHOULD HAVE BEEN HUMPHREY OR NOTHING, REEMED AGAIN,

You do understand what Chatgpt is, Picket? No deal has been done.

15 minutes ago, Neil Crompton said:

Please tell me why Rogers will be a good get? I don't know him from a bar of soap, but he averages 7.2 disposals a game playing a role similar to Spargo i believe. 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.

Has anyone told BH that he would have the privilege of being featured on the Demon Dash if he comes to us?

And the Demonland banner. Even better.

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.

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 realised I was a very sheltered lad. Too much Demonland, not enough OF.

I was asking my wife what half the emojis attached to the bikini ladies profiles meant last night. I learnt some things.
