We're elite in that stat.

Nope.  Papley + later first rounder for 3.

If Kelly is worth 2 top 10’s

Langdon is worth about 22

Papley is closer to Langdon than Kelly

I love how we decide what we will give, when we aren't even being mentioned as in the race.

this ?

Not sure if he's officially nominated Carlton but when a player wants to get somewhere he pretty much always gets there especially if interest is mutual.

Maybe we should wait until we're in a conversation to sign/trade for a player before all the hypothetical's? Maybe thats a silly thought.

Side note: The Jamie Elliot thread got to almost 2000 posts to no avail...

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. 

Possibly, Papley may be capable of: (1) form and consistency improvements, and (2) changing the effectiveness of our goal-scoring and forward line in general. However, what is there to say about the young 'uns that we attracted last year - a swathe of smalls each attracting comments to indicate goal-scoring aptitudes - and of these new players, surely we must have some confidence in their improvements for 2020 and beyond, and start working (developing) them into training regimens for such an outcome prior to the season beginning. A great forward is for pick 3, not for a small.

Also getting rejected for that sort of money is such a Norf game thing to do.

At least when we pay overs the players come to us.  :P

the theory goes that the sooner north melbourne make a big money offer for you, the sooner you are to re-sign with yr original club

will papley stay at the swans rather than head to north melbourne?

If I was a player looking to bump up my salary I would tell my manager to speak with Norf. They'll offer ridiculous money which you then take back to your club and say 'see what I am worth?'

Kind of like what Elliott did to us.......

:rolleyes:

The article was written a few weeks ago.  Is North's offer still on the table? 

They need a bit of coin to pay Keath and Bruce that they have effectively committed to.  They even made Keath cancel his overseas holiday and into surgery.  There are no highly paid Roos leaving so can't see them getting Papley.

Edit:  See Drysdale Demon post below.  I have the wrong club.  Keath and Bruce are on their way to the Dogs.

The 5-10 position is irrelevancy. Only going deep in finals makes you relevant.

That's not right when you are one of the also rans such as ourselves, Bulldogs Saints etc. It's all about giving your supporters both a competitive team and some hope. Whatever you may say North have done that very well over the last twenty odd years.

I think most of us on this board would be quite happy to have North's record rather than our own

Thanks.  So they are.  My research is slipping!

must say I wondered the same thing but at the very least it gave some context to what he will be asking for and one can assume that it is in the ballpark of what the Blues are offering.


If they officially nominate someone they usually get there.

There is no point swapping 3 for Papley, when we can get Sarong.

I understand that the top 2 of this years draft is head and shoulders above the rest, but there would be a few more names i'd be calling out before Serong's at this stage D11.

This is not the case.  Serong and Young have massive upside. 

They will be just as good if not better than the top 2 

Edited by Demons11

I think we should tease and drag it out, then reject the offer and take pick 3 to the draft.

The though of it going to bombers via syd makes me a bit ill... (unless it’s an absolute ripping deal).

Well of course but there are no guarantees on a trader in player. 

Thats the beauty of the draft, the player we pick could be our greatest ever.  You just never know.

 

Papley would be great, but haven't we already ruled him out as he is asking for, or is on, too much coin?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
