Seriously?  Papley has become Cyril Rioli during this trade period!  Good player and certainly has pace and skill which we lack but he's not worth a top 10 pick.

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

After academy selections, gws, freo Rated around or before pick 12 and possibly the hawthorn academy selection you would be looking at pick 14 and pick 21 for pick 3. They would be in deficit. 
Don’t know much about this draft but certain commentators who do say the talent tiers go top 2, top 8, top 30. GWS list manager recently came out suggesting their pick dropping back will make it harder to trade up now, they know they will now have to give up more.

I agree.  I'm not advocating we do it, but obviously Papley is open to the idea of playing for other clubs, so it might be an opportunity for us to sneak under the radar and get involved in the deal.

  • Demonland changed the title to Papley for Pick 3?

There's too many moving pieces to try and say that's what will happen though. With bids being matched or not, with the AFL bringing in new 'rules' about parking and trading picks, the leftover points deficit etc. Whatever happens, I still think us splitting the pick is a high possibility, and given our needs and Papley's 'uncertainty' it's a deal we could pursue.

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)

 

I just reckon pick 3 is worth more than 12 & 18. i think we would need at least to stay in the top 10 for one of the picks.

Feels like it doesn't it? But points wise, 12 & 18 is worth more than 3 (by a little bit).

Change the word "in' to "at" and DL would be on fire.

Yeah it does and i guess its where the points thing make sit a bit more complicated (im no expert in that field) , i just reckon on face value pick 3 should get you a pick in the top 10.. not sure how that happens. I tend to think we will split the pick now that we missed out on Elliott.

I'm surprised the AFL hasn't forced us to change our name to avoid this type of confussion.

The Goschs Demons has a nice ring to it.

Why not go the whole hog and call us The Gosh's paddocks

Interesting how now that we’ve missed out on Elliott, Papley isn’t just looking at Carlton. 

Is his nickname Basil?


Would be a better option than Elliott.

Younger, healthier, and his 37 goals (2019 season) as a 22 year old is more than Elliott's best haul of 35.

If we managed to land Papley and get pick around 9-12 back, it would be the best trade week that I could recall us ever having.

3 and 30 (Frost) for Papley and 9

No chance Hawthorn are giving us pick 30 for Frost.

Hawthorn didn't win premiership after premiership by trading second round draft picks for ordinary players. 

We'll get Frost for a third round at best, but I wouldn't be surprised if Hawthorn offer us a 4th rounder given we low balled Frost.

Minor correction in that he is 23 but still, he is younger than I thought he was.

He will still more than likely get to Carlton, but I'd love for us to get involved.  He is just the sort of player we need.

Agreed but I don’t think Sydney will be keen on giving a first round pick back. If they really want Daniher Essendon will want two first round picks. I still think splitting the pick will get the job done. I’m quietly confident we can land Basil Papley.

If we get Tomlinson, Langdon, Papley and still have a pick in the first round we’ve done very well.

Lol

Is that you Clarko?

As one of the best small forwards in the game we need to be in the hunt. Our delivery into the forward 50 this year was terrible. We need a player who can capitalise on spilt balls in the forward 50. Whether it’s Papley, Taylor or Butler I dunno. 
 

Hannan will be better injury free, Spargo too panicked, Dunkley/ Lochart still developing.

How are Sydney getting 9 given that pick is held by Carlton?

Yep sorry realised that after I posted

Definitely would need to remain in the top 12ish in the draft is we're giving up pick 3 for Papley. Maybe Sydney split pick 5 with GWS and give us say Papley and 11 (GWS) for pick 3 and 40

Then maybe they trade pick 3 and a second rounder to Essendon for Daniher? Just a thought 

They end up essentially trading Papley and pick 5 for Daniher and pick 18

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
