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).

    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.

    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
