Papley is a young gun who's only going to get better, I reckon considering there's apparently not much difference between pick 3 and 20 we should be giving Sydney pick 3 for Papley, he's nominated Carlton but says just wants to get back to Melbourne and doesn't really care where he plays!

 

If we split pick 3 I’d use one of the new picks on Papley and retain the other for the draft, I wouldn’t use pick 3 on him. But it doesn’t matter because he’s nominated Carlton so that’s where he’ll end up.

3 is too much but if we split pick 3 I wouldn't think trading one of those out for Papley would be crazy. Depends what sort of coin he wants but he's exactly what our forward line lacks.

Concur. He is a OK player. No where near a pick 3 or even a split pick. 2019 wasn't to bad but really what has he done? Let the Blues have him. Jetta will eat him for Breaky when we play them.

pick 3 is too high. Papley is good but he's not that good. Pick 7 and higher seems about right.

He’s kicked 120 goals in 4 seasons after being taken as a rookie and will only get better.

We have a serious lack of small forwards and one of the worst forward lines in the game. I think Papley would address our deficiencies very well.

A very good chance with that 22 that Papley will get benched a fair bit = not worth a top 10 pick then.

And he’ll be named emergency for every game, won’t quite crack the best 22 all season.

A good player. Not worth near a top 10 pick though

Yes agree, but I reckon Andrew Gaff would come home in the right circumstances, and that would be playing for the team he supported as a kid, he has a clause in his contract that if there are personal reasons for coming home WC will find a way, what about pick number 3 for Gaff?

nup 3 for Gaff and 14  they may take it because 3 and next year's 1st rounder will get them Kelly

Would I include pick 3 as part of a deal for Papley - sure.

Would I pay Papley some crazy amount like 900k and therefore limit any future salary cap flexibility we have left with this core of players - nope.

 

 

Be ironic if we did a deal for him! He's from Bunyip and played for Casey if I remember correctly! Could of had when no one else wanted him!

Interesting reading what Scott Lucas, his manager, said this morning around the fact that while Carlton is his preference, he is keeping his options open.  

With Elliott out of the picture, there is no reason why we can't also get involved if we see the opportunity to do so.

Beat me to it. It certainly pricked my ears to the family t that they'd still look at other options of need be.


as per everyone else, not for pick 3 - but if we split the picks then absolutely

BUT surely we cannot go near the $$s he's commanding to move back to melbourne - we're already bringing in tomlinson at $4-500k a year over the next four, presumably we're not paying langdon in twisties...if we had the cap room then yes, but it's not likely

Trade pick 3 for GWS 12 and 18, then use pick 12 for Papley, 18 in the draft.

(Should we be able to convince him to come to us)

Good thinking but the club would want to do a lot better than 12 & 18 if they trade down. Would want something additional from GWS for this to be done. 
Papley would be a great addition to the dees if we can pull it off.

Points wise, 12 and 18 are worth slightly more than pick 3 I believe.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
