It’s certainly not showing up when I do a Google search, it’s not mentioned on the AFL site/app…in fact, I think the only place I’ve seen it mentioned is here on Demonland. I’d be happy to be proven wrong. The weird thing is that it’s been mentioned by two different people, each with a supposedly reliable source with club connections, so could it be that their source is the same person? I’d be pretty sure that the media pundits scan club related sites such as Demonland in search of rumours etc, but why wouldn’t they have run with the ‘Bailey Humphrey does medical at Casey’ story? I’m really hoping that it’s true and that he did do a medical with the club… I guess we’ll find out hopefully today.

Agree 💯%

It tends to get ignored on here, but I’ve suggested (influenced by my son who is much better informed than I), that those who think 7&8 is a bad deal for a player who, let’s face it, is well off his best, and has never been great with his disposal, I’ve suggested they check out the Chris Judd Wiki page. Just look at the deal made to get one of the greatest of all time, when he was much younger than Trac, and already incredibly well credentialed (just look at the list of his achievements up until that move), to Carlton… some posters here would have been screaming “daylight robbery!!” while passing out on the floor!

The funny thing about the draft, and one of the variables that is entirely unpredictable, is that some top picks just cannot adapt to the high pressure of AFL, while others way down the draft order, start to shine; weird, I know, but one reason why I’d be loathe to write of these picks in a ‘supposedly’ weak draft.

Hey, I’ll be perfectly happy to swallow my words and apologise if your claims are proven to be based in fact. Given that Ghostwriter has heard a similar claim re Humphrey, I may well be offering such an apology, but let’s wait and see how it turns out. A quick question: How would you view someone who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started making claims about three different trade developments (this one, the Hawthorn offer and the Humphrey development)? How much credence would you lend such posts, particularly given the number of spurious posts that appear around this time of the year (past and current)? As an aside, what does your financial connection to the club have to do with anything, other than to tell us how well cashed up you are? Most people on Demonland, I would assume, are paid up members of the MFC, so as far as I’m concerned, that puts us all on an even footing as we all invest only what we can afford (I guess that goes for non paid up supporters as well).

Hey Macca, vampires don’t run, they float!

He needs someone to dress him… he put his shirt on backwards!!

B,B,B,B,Bailey’s a vampire? He casts no shadow!! 😳😳😳

Even Photoshop now has a built In AI function. It’s actually not too bad for touching images up.

The poster that mentioned it joined Demonland last Wednesday, so the poster was, understandably, taken with a barrel of salt. Just how reliable is your reliable source… I’m wondering if I’ll need to be preparing a written apology.

One small problem I can see with that… Humphrey has not nominated us, and to the best of my knowledge, nowhere has it been reported that he wants to come to us. If he does, great, but in the meantime, your scenario cannot happen.

Demon4FiveMinutes has pretty much proven themself to be a troll, with the post regarding Humphrey’s changing manager and having a medical with the Dees today.

Had you mentioned that previously? I don’t recall you having done so, but there is so much to read here, that I could easily have overlooked it.

Humphrey’s just a prawn in GCS’s game.

I would have hoped to have heard something by last Fryday, but that’s what happens when you have an unreliable sauce.

So, the steaks are high.

There’s a big difference between a four bit processor and a 64 bit processor.

I wish it was possible to choose two emojis… I would have given that a hand clap as well. 👏

Word according to who? Where has that been stated?

So many posters on here seem to think that GCS are refusing to trade Humphrey to us, but I would have to ask, where has Humphrey said that he is keen and willing to be involved in a trade to the Melbourne Football Club? Yes, he has hinted at a desire to return to Victoria, but I’m sure that if Hawthorn were not chasing Merrett, or if the Merrett deal fell through, then he would have been nominating them due to the relationship they had developed previously (they had talked well before us), not to mention the fact that they are a much more desirable destination. Why would he nominate a club he had no desire to play for? And to all of the posters wringing their hands over a deal involving picks 7 & 8, and how we are being bent over, I suggest you pay a visit to the Chris Judd Wiki page for a little perspective and a big wake up call. I’d love to see Humphrey coming to us as much as the next person, but seriously, a reality check is in order here.

Maybe he’s trying to attract Charlie Cameron to the Suns?

There’s also King Island; hopefully there’s no relationship between that and Epstein Island.

If you lived in Sydney, you’d know ‘the Wall’ has very different connotations.

Maybe the Hardy Ha Ha’s are waiting at the door?

Ok, we get the fact that you don’t like the guy, but it’s not a good look to invent poor statistics in an attempt to justify your comments. Correct me if I’m wrong (and sincere apologies if that is the case) but I’m assuming that you meant 48% disposal efficiency, in which case you are way out… it is in fact: 2022: 72.0% disposal efficiency 2023: 75.1% disposal efficiency 2024: Around 61.4% 2025: 70.4% effective disposals
