2026/2027 Draft & Trade Periods

[SUNS]

Budders was out of contract so it’s his choice to go where he likes, plus I get the feeling Humphrey would’ve just put a different player in the photo If it wasn’t butters. Remember he’s just trying to sell a narrative of being held back against his will while the Suns let other players go

suck it up Buttercup, see in the pre season

I am probably a little bit bias because I have been made privvy to how people inside the club are feeling about all this - But anyone sticking up for him or hoping that this does not play out again have blinkers on.

Not only was this handled poorly from the start from Baileys camp, but he has continued to low key crap on our club, even if some people try and justify it or make excuses for it.

Don't think I have ever had a pure dislike for a player who is still 'representing' our club as much as I do for Bailey. If he doesn't get traded today, I hope the team and leadership group let him know how they really feel.

We should honestly just offer him straight up for Curnow if what’s been reported is true

Problem is he's required
We dont need picks we need a quality player in return if he's traded

I disagree. I would rather make a point of him and keep him to show contracts matter. If we trade him today it is going to show every out of state sook that all they have to do is have a tantrum and disrespect their club and they will get traded. . . This is not just for the greater good for our club but for everyone.

He either comes back and earns everyones respect - Or he comes back with the attitude he currently has and plays VFL for the year.

In any case, don't want Curnow

This. Tell him now we will trade him over the next two years, but the onus is on him to find a club to come to the party or else he can stay and be a pillar of his community from Carrara.

 

[Happy Idiot]

Not trading him tells the rest of the league, "if you want him next year, come with a deal that works for us". I'm fine with that.

This gives us time to work on players and get a feel for who would be willing to come to us.

Maybe we can import some inbreds and some broken down VT Commodores so he feels like he is back in Moe all the time.

Can we get a gofundme together and buy Bailey a house in Woodridge so that he feels at home?

Buy him one in Nerang if you want him to feel like he’s back in Moe

Nerang is not great - But have you been to Moe?

 

[Iva Bigun]

If Bailey continues to act poorly he can rot in the 2nd for 3 years.

It’s in his best interest to have a great year and have teams willing to pay the price to get him, is he smart enough to realise that though? Time will tell

He hasn't shown any signs of intelligence or maturity through all of this. Makes me wonder if clubs will cool on him just due to his attitude next year

I think young Bailey has shown very clearly this off season he isn't very smart at all. Good luck to him if he heads back to Melbourne. The Vic Media would eat him alive. It ain't Moe there.

 

[SUNS]

Apparently we are keeping an eye on the Will Phillips situation (or lack thereof) at Norf.

Wouldn't be the worst pick-up for some midfield depth with what we have lost. High upside if he does get it right.

Played with Noz and Rowell too (Thanks Supersuns for pointing that out)

Country boy is homesick and doesn’t like the city so he wants to move to a bigger city

Ew.

Yep been to both

Absolutely Moe is way worse if you can believe that. It's absolutely embarrassing it really is

What’s the thinking within the club on JUH, it seems very strange to us plebes

I have family in Moe, haven’t heard from them in a long time, I think it’s because the ability to remember 10 digits is beyond their memory capacity

Or it could because I am an insufferable campaigner

JUH situation has not been great. But also blown out by Victorian media. Getting him up here out of the spotlight is a good thing. And on potential if he finds it, he would be debatably our best forward. Partner that with Jed, we have the best forward pairing since Buddy and Roughy.

That is not taking into account we also have the runner up Coleman medalist

Bit of both probably!

And reward his bad behaviour? Also how many key forwards do you think we need?
