Red and Blue Flame

If this is the case, then we need to trade both 7 and 8 to get a top 4 pick. Very simple. Or, we trade them for F1 if next year's is better

When are we expected to learn more about this? Seems a tricky one for the young lad...

this is what I don't get - since when did they change the rules that you could not trade picks up until draft night? We've also had 1st round picks so it's not like we are forced to use them because we've traded previous years' ones away.

Do we trade 7 and 8 to try get higher or take the two players (which end up being pick 10/11 or 11/12)? Seems like the rest of our picks will be for White, Sinemma and rookie upgrades

Sorry - can anyone confirm when they changed the rules on trading draft picks up until draft night? Lamb just got asked whether we'd be trading picks 7 and 8 and he said "well we can't now"?

Pick swapping about to go through for petracca with suns. BH not involved.

It's time to move forward. We're probably 12-24 months too late but it's time

100%

This is brilliant - this is a huge dig at the Suns. He wants out!

Wasn't Demon4Life a first time poster? lol It's DemonForever or no one :)

I think you'll find that the reason the trade has not happened yet, is because a trade hasn't been agreed to. So trac can sook all he wants, but if the GC offer isn't commensurate, the deal ain't happening. This is from a very reliable source and I have full faith that the club will stick to their word

Are you serious? If a trade isn't done, he's at Melbourne. We have the upper hand.

Is he out of contract? Amazed he hasn't been delisted or re-signed

Yes but like Merrett, another year older and value goes down while BH value possibly goes up

not at all - they've got other picks and they can split one or both of these to accrue even more points. AND they get Petracca

The funny thing about all this: Suns could easily end up with picks 7, 8 and Petracca. Which, despite trajectory possibilities for Humphrey, is a huge win for them. Taking the red and blue goggles off, it's bizarre they don't do a straight swap Humphrey for Petracca - they are closer to a flag and they still build for future.

Would be VERY happy with this if we end up with 7 and 8 for trac. Give one of them to the Pies. Say what you want about De Goey, but he has matured enormously and is a game changer.

correct. Humphrey, if he does want us to "take [him] home, to the place [he] belongs" needs to publicly say it, rather than these cryptic I/G posts.

Clearly hasn't requested a trade then. Manager and player have had to drive this it would seem.

Does anyone know the contract? 2 years?

has the full interview with Lamb been posted?

Not what I've been told. If we are paying him, clubs pay up in a trade. If not, it's a salary dump and we get nothing. Might be some shuffling either way but 13 is what we are asking for Oliver. I'm not privy to $$ but passing on the info.

Love it!

Not my expectation, it's what I've been told. Oliver is a key part of landing Humphrey. We hold all the pieces for a trade with Humphrey. Club would be ecstatic to land: Humphrey, a future pick and a top 10 pick for Petracca and Oliver.
