Would anyone trade Bobby if it meant getting Bailey Humphrey?
You pose probably one of the more realistic scenarios to be honest, and it makes me sad, as much as I'd love to see Humphrey out there alongside Beau. The club have been really eager on Humphrey for a long time now so I'm curious to see how they approach this (if at all)

Anyone know who this guy is talking about?

Disappointed we didn't have a red hot crack at Worpell. Glad we've apparently gone cold on May but I reckon Oliver is worth the risk.

He's a four-time B&F winner and three-time AA rep. A great ball-winner, tackle-breaker and ball distributor by hand. Having Clarry feed The Daicai, DeGoey and McCreery could be pretty exciting. He just needs to keep the handball-to-kick ratio at 2:1 or 3:1, not 1:1 or less.

Given we have no useful picks to trade, I imagine that we'd have to agree to take on most of his salary.

Yep that's what I thought too.

Considering they've just received an assistance package from the AFL, mostly due to their own poor recruiting & list management.

And I think they've had 4 of their players medically retired due to concussion.
Yeah and still a possibility that over the Summer Starcevich might be medically retired like Murphy or almost 100% if he gets concussed again at any stage next year or whenever that may happen.
 
If Oliver can be had cheap and for 600k a year we’d be silly not to look at him.

Desperately need to add some talent next to Nick and with no trade capital our options are extremely limited.

He’d be worth it on current form. And If, and it’s a big if, he can get back anywhere near his best we will have made out like absolute bandits. Only 28 and a fresh start may be all he needs.
I imagine that the Dees would either want a first round pick for Oliver, or the acquiring team to take on most/all of his contracted wage. I doubt we can get him for a 2nd or 3rd rounder AND expect the Dees to subsidise his wages. Its one or the other, surely?

You can’t tell a bloke he is playing VFL and expect a first rounder. It’s not the pies fault they grossly overpaid him.

I’m a yes to Oliver if the club feel he can evolve his work in the contest from a ball hunter to more defensively minded. The guys been loose for most of his career and it has never impacted him until he got that hamstring last year. You’re talking all of those accolades and at one point he was on track to be the greatest ever Dee that doesn’t happen by accident despite being an absolute muppet.

The handling by the Demons means they’ve effectively pissed any chance of getting something decent in return up the wall. Or they’ll never get a player from Oliver’s managers stable again! In a better environment than the one that was completely devoid of leadership the past two years he’ll turn it around. The only issue I have is with a fit JDG we get a bit too offensive minded with Oliver in the mix so he’d need to be prepared to change how he plays.
 
Purely as a hypothetical, a straight swap.
As a straight swap you’d have to entertain it. Humphrey’s ceiling is De Goey-esque (still only 21 and inconsistent), but I dunno… I am anticipating a career year for Bobby
