Bailey Humphrey doesn't seek another exit
Emerging youngster Bailey Humphrey was entrenched in rumours throughout the course of the 2025 trade period, as the 21-year-old's desire to return to Victoria became clear.
Uncomfortable scenes were crafted after he was spotted meeting several Victorian clubs, despite his management claiming he had not met with any, and the Suns holding the view that he was an "untouchable asset".
Ultimately, Humphrey was not dealt on deadline day and will be held to his contract, which is set to expire after the 2027 season.
However, the potential of another trade request looms entering 2026, particularly as he fights with Christian Petracca for that dual midfield-forward role.
In saying that, Humphrey has repeatedly stated that he has no issue with the Gold Coast footy club or any of the players, and now has the potential to expand his repertoire significantly under the mentorship of his new superstar teammate.
Only time will tell how strong the call of home is, but Suns fans will be hoping it weakens by the round.
