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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
