The AFL\u2019s trade period<\/a> might be over, but emerging Gold Coast<\/a> superstar Bailey Humphrey has dropped a spicy postscript on a week or so of controversy.<\/p>\n

Humphrey created a stir during the trade period as he shopped himself around in Victoria despite his contract with the Suns.<\/p>\n

Humphrey\u2019s manager Michael Oakes was also under fire after saying that his young client had not spoken to anyone … only to be caught out hours later when a photo emerged<\/a> showing Humphrey meeting with Melbourne coach Stephen King and assistant Nathan Jones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Humphrey then stirred the pot again when he posted a series of photos on social media<\/a> to the tune of John Denver\u2019s classic hit Country Roads, Take Me Home with the simple caption: \u2018I\u2019M FROM MOE\u2019 (referencing a viral moment from the Street Talk segment on former AFL program The Footy Show).<\/p>\n

Of course, Gold Coast had no interest in letting Humphrey (who is contracted until the end of 2028) go but the story doesn\u2019t appear to be quite over yet.<\/p>\n

Now another photo has emerged of Humphrey rubbing shoulders with Melbourne interim president Brad Green.<\/p>\n

But unlike the first photo (where Humphrey was busted with the Demons coaches) the 21-year-old was happy to pose with Green while enjoying a drink at the Caulfield Cup on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Even more remarkable, Green and his TV star partner Caty Price then shared the photo on their social media platforms, with the caption saying: \u201cThanks Carlton Draught. Great day with Bailey Humphrey, Caty Price.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Melbourne were to secure Humphrey at some point, he would be considered a replacement for Christian Petracca who has just left the Demons to join Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

In fact, Petracca said on Friday that Humphrey reminded him of a younger version of himself, while adding that he could not wait to see how they can paired together.<\/p>\n

Petracca, 29, also revealed that he had been on the phone with his talented new teammate after sealing a trade north this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited to work with someone like him,\u201d Petracca said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe reminds me of myself when I was at that age. Raw, but he came fourth in the best and fairest too, so basically a breakout year – which is pretty scary considering how many more levels he can go to.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a phone call the other day about his role and how excited I am to just play with him and learn actually off him about that role and how explosive he is.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve actually been in contact for three or four years now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think because from his draft year, when I saw the highlights of him, he reminded me of myself a little bit and just how raw he is, and explosive.\u201d<\/p>\n
