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

And you know this how?

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.

good lord Papley has turned into Gary Ablett Jnr in the past week!

Bit like that Frost bloke.


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.

Amazing form Dub.  He didn't coat hanger a single player either!

Trade radio reporting his manager just walked into the room. We'll know where he's going shortly

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....

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
