if papley was available, what's he worth? he's basically a first rotation midfielder at sydney at this point - has speed and nous around goal too

i imagine they'd want a future first round pick but there's no way known i'd want to give up that much for him, yet he's probably worth more than a second rounder

he would be a terrific addition to our mid / forward rotation, much as langdon would perfectly suit our half back run and spread from the contest

    Papley would be a great get. Perfect may fits the modern game with his speed and skill level, isn’t afraid of getting hardball or working all the way up the ground either. He’s a tricky one to price in isolation. He’s worth more than a second rounder, but you’d be hard placed giving up a first rounder for him. Maybe it’s second rounder and a player for him, or first rounder for him and something else back.

    Both him and Langdon suit us positionally and bring speed, which is the biggest weakness of our current list. Either would be a great get!

    Re Sydney 'bottoming out'.  On OTC last night Roos said he was aware there were 2 outstanding players in the draft.

    It made me think Sydney is positioning to get them: one with a very early pic and the other with an upgrade of a low 20's pic.  It may be a race to the bottom between them and Carlton.

    Didn't WCE and Colllingwood do something similar at one stage?

    Can’t recall anyone else doing it.

    Nakia Cockatoo?  Injured, out of contract and possibly needing a change of scenery...

    Has a lot of class and pace, but big questions on his body holding up and his ability to find the ball (never clocked up big numbers).

    Geelong’s cap would have to be tight with all the players they’ve brought in.  His skill set, if he can get his body right, is exactly what we need.

    Hunter Clark from StK. No 7 pick last  year. Having a form slump this year, possibly playing VFL this week. OOC at years end. Thoughts?

    Thanks. 

    I'll be able to rest easy knowing it's not happening

    What about the mid-season draft, isn’t it on Monday? Our injuries to defenders mean we target one? Or it doesn’t matter at all? 

  • Quote

    No. We target a forward. We need goals!

    Does anybody know who we may chose in the mid season draft?

    And also have we gone cold on Koby Farmer?

    Jenkins and Carlton’s 2919 first round pick which Adelaide holds for our third rounder

    Actually...no

    Make it our fourth rounder 

    [censored] man I know we need help but I can’t wait till 2919 the human race will be gone by then anyway so that’s an ambit claim

    Based on what info? He will be first chosen. Unless we are bottom of the ladder in two weeks, we are not getting him. I’d love a scent small forward, but think we have more immediate issues.

    Carlton swapped their first round pick with Adelaide.

    Oliver Eastland could be worth a punt but more long term than quick fix

    Seen a bit to make me think he may develop into decent tall defender

    Corey Gregson has been mentioned. Very injury prone previously though. Playing for Glenelg this year and apparently going ok.

    Why on earth would the Club even think of recruiting another tall Defender when we have so many more pressing needs?

    Lever, May, Frost, Oscar, Petty & even Keilty not enough???

    List building is a continuing process and our needs specifically with the outside run won't be turned around with one mid season draft pick. Some wheeling and dealing at trade time is going to have to occur.

    Omac - gone backwards needs to build confidence, may need a move and fresh start

    Petty - not sure he'll be big enough but has time, lacks speed

    Keilty - now playing as a forward but after 3 years do we have to make the call

    Frost - ok but limited,  could end up being trade bait

    Lever - great but need him to get an injury free run

    May - as above

    Eastland- shows the athleticism to play multiple roles. As i said it's a look ahead not the now. On what Ive seen he'll have a few chasing him in the draft come November.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
