If Humphrey has a so-so year and is still rattling the cage he won't cost two firsts.
"Two firsts" is such a vague currency descriptor anyways. Same logic as when people rage about us not getting "two first rounders" for Petty. Would happily give up picks 22 and 23 for Humphrey...

Sure but I think when most people talk about that hypothetical trade it's our current first rounder plus Gold Coasts (Or whatever we can turn that into).

Let's say a top 10, potentially top 5 pick and a pick between 10-20 before academies and father son nominations. That's probably what our current draft hand looks like right now.

If Humphrey has a breakout season then I'd say that's the trade we should expect. If he's a bit flaky and only having stand out games every few weeks then you probably don't want to be giving much more than a first outside the top 5 or something.

Agree with you Leggy, more just talking about the whole perception around it and how "two firsts" gets thrown around by the media and others..... to garner a bit more outrage when, like most things, reality is a little more complex.
