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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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: 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.

      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.
