I think his asking price is also too much for our salary cap.

    I was thinking that as well but we had the room for Elliot, why not Papley?

    How much is he asking for?

    How much space do we have?

    Surely you don’t know either of these to have come to the above conclusion...

    I think the deal between Sydney and Carlton is done basically in principal. the Swans maybe just don't want to lose him if they can't get Daniher.

    I think the journos at this time of year go:

    'Which trade hasn't happened yet? Oh yeah, Papley.'

    MFC makes a move, gets a new pick. 

    Editor says, 'we need to link Papley to someone'

    Journo says, 'MFC have a pick, are they making a play for Papley?'

    It becomes a 'story'.

    Hence is use of the word think, not know. He might think that based on weeks of speculation about his asking price and guesstimates of our salary cap position.

    As an example I think hills price is too high for our cap

    A few loose whispers we are in discussions here.  Very loose though.

    Pick 3 for Papley?  Not in a million years mate, he's not worth anywhere near that.

    He is worth 2-3 goals a game

    That could be a few wins in a tight comp.

    Statistically he's worth just over a goal a game, so not 2-3. You don't give up pick 3 for this type.

    Another poster described Papley as a "poor man's Brent Harvey".  

    If you're a "poor man's" anybody, by definition you're not that great.  Second round pick at best IMO.

    We need a player like Papley but having said that his worth this trade period has been extremely inflated. He's not worth a first round pick.

    I'd be extremely happy if we were able to secure Tom Papley, but he's not the Messiah (nor a naughty boy!) and not first round material, as others have already stated.

    So we give it up for an 18 year old and wait 3 years?i know the logic, you are going by. 

    Papley including goal assists is worth 2-3 goals a game. He is ready to go. 
    The MFC needs to play finals next season
     

    Roll the dice....

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
