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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Can I be Jane Turner? Happy with Glenn too.

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

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.

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.

You mean Dee Day, Humphrey Dee Bear.

Someone's annoyed he didn't get rhe new head of footy role. 😉

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.

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.

They've committed to Trac, so they will. It's only a matter of time.

Guesseroo.

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.

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

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.

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

I didn't can him. He will be an important role player if he comes.

And the Demonland banner. Even better.

Pretty big.

Thank you, that's all I wanted.

I was hoping there was a gif from the "I'm from Moe!" man from The Footy Show. But not to be.
