according to AFL Media\u2019s Riley Beveridge<\/a>. <\/p>\n‘Love you tonight, hate you next year!’ | 02:12<\/p>\n
But if Humphrey can be convinced to leave the Suns, and it\u2019s the only way to do a deal in the minds of the Demons, should the Suns feel obliged to bite the bullet and deal the young star?<\/p>\n
\u201cDifferent clubs have different strategies on that,\u201d Brereton said, before warning of an unwanted hypothetical. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou can also hurt the fabric of the players around that remain. They will understand it … you want to make this team the best chance it can have now, but I\u2019ve seen it happen before where boys of the same age who\u2019ve come through the draft, come through this team with the likes of Bailey Humphrey love him and want to play with him, and if he wants to stay and they push him out, that can hurt your fabric. <\/p>\n
\u201cDo you bite the bullet? Once again, I think Hardwick has groomed Humphrey to be a star midfielder who can press forward. I reckon \u2014 it\u2019s funny \u2014 I reckon he\u2019s groomed him to be what Petracca\u2019s best football was played as \u2014 a stormtrooper out of the middle who could go forward and be exceptionally dangerous. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think he has that sort of hope for that player. So, are you giving up what could be that player for the next 12 years to get in that player that\u2019s going to give you four years?\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a question that will be answered over the course of the next fortnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christian Petracca wants to get to Gold Coast this trade period, but despite the coup, there\u2019s still a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[119221,63,689,20781,3237,1135,3244,19120,7487,81333,119223,2485,9130,43,3231,7804,44,677,701,68999,119226,119222,1122,119224,119227,41,39,42,40,11236,119225,1133,660,698],"class_list":["post-187110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-agency-live","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-brandon-starcevich","tag-brisbane-lions","tag-cal-twomey","tag-chris-fagan","tag-christian-petracca","tag-dermott-brereton","tag-exchange-period","tag-exciting-midfield-forward-hybrid","tag-gold-coast","tag-gold-coast-suns","tag-headlines","tag-jack-jovanovski","tag-melbourne-demons","tag-news","tag-oceania","tag-queensland","tag-rivals-circle","tag-skipper-steps","tag-square-peg","tag-st-kilda","tag-sweetener-draft-pick","tag-three-team-trade","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-trade-news","tag-trade-paths","tag-trade-period","tag-victoria","tag-western-bulldogs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
