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.

And that's the only reason you were looking... the emojis

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.

Look… we have one once in 57 years or so. We have been rubbish for the vast majority of the years we haven’t won or been at the top.

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".

Next minute Humphrey to Hawks for 8 and future 1st

Melbourne receive 7 & 8 for Petracca (Suns keep 6) 😭

Now, now. We don't need anymore Eeyores in here. We're full up.

We’ll be needing a GIF update whether this trade happens or not.

The most appropriate gif for this week is this one:

SEND IN JEFFO

Maybe we make Jeffo captain next year, I'm sure Max wouldn't mind. At least that way we don't lose Picket's membership. We need every member we can get.

He follows Trac!!!!!

And Kozzy, Bowey, Lindsay & Jonesy.

And Ricky Mentha from his Gippy days.

I see that as probably the most viable option.

They still get Trac. They don’t care how.

Hawks get a jet.

And we stay [censored].

Far out. Eeyore season.

Edmund reporting he thinks the Humphrey trade is happening.

Hold onto your hats ladies and gentlemen

Thanks for reading Demonland, Sam.

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.

Past experience has shown that the Dees don't play hardball when players want to leave.

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.

We just need Bailey Smith to come out and talk about his Cotton On deal and farm deal. He doesn't seem the brightest spark, so fingers crossed.

Fly with a cheap shot on Clarry ‘being difficult to get a hold of’ because “he must be having a good time in Sydney”.

Everyone is aware of Clarry’s past, a ‘no comment’ would have been more appropriate from someone of his experience and stature.

Fly is quickly spiralling from ‘industry darling’ to ‘bitter oddball’.

He's been a lickhead from the word go. Arrogant as duck.

I just saw a ZeroHanger headline saying they have a massive fine and went on there to find it's less than 100k and has no draft or trade sanctions. Pathetic. But we knew that would happen.

Exactly this. If Tom Morris had a whiff of the Demons meeting with Bailey Humphrey and the supposed intel that has been posted here it would be splashed all over Trade Radio. Not a Tom fan but he is usually all over this kind of thing and at the moment I am not seeing that playing out.

The leak has just about been plugged...

Yeah see this is where you have gotten this one blatantly wrong..

I would love more then anything to have Humphrey run out in red and blue and would be a massive get and another feather on Kings hat on top of getting rid of Oliver

But I am also realistic that its going to be incredibly hard especially if CC and the Suns have got a hard stance on him not leaving.. and so they should, it would be no different to us if the shoe was on the other foot and Kozzie was meeting clubs in WA. You'd be kicking and squealing demanding the absolute the world

They will ask more then Petracca if Humphrey comes out and nominates us.

Also, I hope yoy havent gone off early on this one...

It's happening, baby.

Gold Coast supporters on Bigfooty on the weekend:

“No chance we’re trading BH for Petracca. Melbourne can get stuffed”

Gold Coast supporters on Bigfooty today:

“Trade him to Melbourne. Collingwood and Hawthorn get stuffed”

Gold Coast supporters?

Dazzler will be most unhappy at the potential of Humphrey B Bear. Much more fun to laugh at the expense of Demonland posters melting. 😂

Just my thoughts. If we bring in Bailey and Mihocek, are we a better team with those 2 inclusions whilst losing Petracca, Oliver and Judd?

Didnt mention Spargo as he hasnt really played a lot over the past 2 years.

Well, Rogers is a quicker Spargo. Creative by hand and foot, and elite on either side of his body. Makes sense.

Depends what we get back / how much they pay of Clarry's salary.

Losing McVee creates a re-shuffle and Windsor was played at half back before sanity prevailed and he was moved to the wing/midfield

And if we assume that Oliver & Petracca find new clubs, how will we use Viney?

It only seems like yesterday that we were trying Jack in other roles (forward?) but we're probably going to need his experience and attack on the ball at the stoppages. Go again, Jack (given the circumstances)

As much as Oliver was an issue, he did accumulate 264 contested possessions & 121 clearances for the 2025 season

Langford, Lindsay, Windsor & Kolt* still need to be nurtured along as mids

Sparrow needs to double his output and step up to the plate

And Rivers could be asked to take on a Gus type role across the back of the midfield (needs to get more physical for that role though)

*Give Kolt midfield minutes to see if he can cut it

I'd be staggered if they played Rivers there.

Humphrey or no Humphrey, Rivers has to be in that midfield mix next year.

That said, he does offer great drove from half back and King wants to play a back half transition game...

I think Harry Oliver would suit that to a tee with his kicking.

1 hour ago, Macca said:

Hasn't Lindsay been earmarked to take on the HBF role? Salem?

And even though Rivers wins his fair share of midfield possessions, in my view, he's better suited off a HBF where he can use his dash & daring (and hit up targets?🤞)

But someone here (might have been DS) mentioned that some teams are going with 3 rebounders out of defence these days

So yeah, Harry Oliver, picked at #19 in last year's draft, might fit the bill, AF (plus pick 34, thank you)

I'd be going with 3, because you're also waxing between half back, wing and half forward.

Harry Oliver also allows you to release Rivers and/or Lindsay into the midfield rotation proper, with Salem back there.

I think Rivers' best position is half back too, but now we're definitely going to find out if he has mid potential.

14 minutes ago, Macca said:

GWS have picks 13, 34 & 36

Might we prise out pick 13? Of course that's his guernsey number as well

That's my tip but we'll have to pay a sizeable amount of his salary (?)

Reckon that's more than a fair trade considering it could cost the club $3.5Million

n.b. Pies first pick is #38 (no thanks)

Harry Oliver, please. One Oliver in, another out.
