Not over someone like mcarthy. Good talls don't grow on trees.
McCarthy is a speculative tall, not a good tall. That’s why he’s in the range he is. His athletic tools are great, but is by no means a sure thing. If he was a Cooper Duff-Tyler prospect I’d agree, but he isn’t
 
He is a gun, but he's also contracted for another 3 years, so a deal to get done would be messy and expensive....
I bet ya the mega trade dickhead Cooney didn't think of this, we trade in Oliver, Trac and May then on trade
them to Gold Coast for Humphrey

I'll never understand players having a preference for one club one year, then another the next

What changed in that year?

How does Trac go from wanting to play for Collingwood - the team he barracked for, has mates at, trains next door to where he trains right now (so his life doesn't have to change at all), to wanting to uproot his entire life to play for Gold Coast?

Why wasn't it Gold Coast last year? if "weather" is a reason, that didn't change in there last year. If "escaping the bubble" is the reason, that also hasn't changed in the last year

Always find that stuff odd
Simple, his partner got in his ear 🤣
 
Can't we just stick to the draft for a few years?

Lets hold of on trading high picks for the foreseeable future. It is not a sustainable list management model.
Because Bailey Humphrey is who you draft with a high pick.

Genuine A grade potential.
 
Statistically speaking he is averaging about 15 touches a game.

Is he more impactful than what the stats show?
He's playing as a forward. What forwards get 20 possessions a game. The one's who do play midfield/forward.

You'd be turning a couple of speculative teen picks into a young sure thing with star potential.

Definitely worth our two future firsts if the AFL allow it.
 
Bobby is the only way to get Humphrey

That would be disappointing

I'd rather be selling Dimma on multiple experienced Premiership players to help his young team with that side of the game

No one is off limits in the over 28 group as far as I'm concerned. But I'd prefer we don't lose Bobby if possible.

I know some enjoyed Bobby calling out journalists on insta, but i doubt Fly was one of the them. We saw how ruthless he was with Ginnivan.
Fly likes players not picks, and his mantra is always looking to get better. I get the feeling if Fly locks into a player who will make us better, he wants him at any cost...

They have been craving a small forward since rankine. They don’t need much else
 
What is the cost, do you think?

We have had sustained relevance at the top of the ladder with barely any successful first round picks for a decade. I don’t think adding someone who will have 10+ years of really good play ahead of them is a shortsighted move
The players responsible for that sustainable relavance are coming close to the end of their playing careers. Outside of nick, we don't really have any talented youth coming through.

I would rather us be able to hit on multiple mids in the draft then spend that draft capital on Humphrey. That is just my personal feeling.

If Collingwood get him then I will get behind him and support him , I just would like us to not shy away from being aggressive in the draft .

I'd almost rather we offered Harvey and Schultz than lose Bobby

Hit on multiple mids? Like Allan, HDM, Macrae?
