The Bailey Humphrey Thread
I like how over the course of the last page it's gone from 2 supporters to 3 supporters and now it's 4. It's interesting. They can fight amongst themselves and gain members. Well played.

Farewell Christian Petracca
There's a bit of an elephant in the room here. Maybe we don't want picks at all, certainly not 7 and 8 that will become 11 and 12, because JT says the talent is too thin. Sure, we could try and package 7 and 8 to get up higher, but if Essendon can't get up higher with picks 4 and 5, what hope have we got?

And @Very Jaded is spot on. He's hopeless. Get the deal done, nuffy.

Why go on Trade Radio at all? He was never going on to shut it down. There's no need for that. GCS and MFC just do the deal with Trac for picks. Very odd.

Having said that, I'd be happy with Josh Lindsay and others.

Problem is, Binners, 7 and 8 very likely become 11 and 12 after academy and F/Ss, so two mid first round picks for him essentially. And we may well therefore give up other picks to allow them to match academy picks.

Given GWS have traded pick 14 and another for pick 12, will this be used in a Clarry trade?

Josh Lindsay
Lindsay seems to be able to hit any angled kick, I don't think it'll matter.

Yeah, absolute ball butcher. Another Frosty. Looks great in full flight and then mostly turns it over.

Well, Trac probably has 4 or 5 years left. Humphrey has 10+ years.

But there's no question over his fitness or availability so why do a medical haha

The Bailey Humphrey Thread
As much as I love the gossip, why would Humphrey need to do a medical at all? 🤣
-
The Bailey Humphrey Thread
I think so. Trac is proven, Humphrey is growing.
-
The Bailey Humphrey Thread
Trac is almost 30 and Humphrey is 21. A straight swap is completely fair.

I wonder who's feeding this to the media? Who has contacts at the biggest management company in the country? We need someone feeding the media a narrative that suits our needs not someone else's.

It's a story, not a post, but yeah.

Hence CACs comment earlier in the week when asked whether Humphrey had requested a trade: "not in so many words". In other words, he hasn't pushed it hard enough since.

Come on, Jordy. Get him over the line. 🤣

Assistant Coaches in 2026
Perhaps Teague could come as midfield and ball movement coach...

There were rumours we were after Teague at the end of 2024 too.

Welcome to Demonland: Brody Mihocek
Except you don't know all the details... Lamb mentioned the balance between going down the FA path or the trade path. In order not to dilute our FA pick from Spargo (which could well be the pick we use in the Trac or Clarry deal), we may have had to pay a little extra as a trade. Again though, we've got next to no information on any of this, so criticism is pretty rich, but I guess that's Demonland. People with next to no knowledge thinking they know better than people with all the facts.

Haha, very Melbourne, high brow content. They may as well have a cheeseboard in the background.
