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....

Not necessarily. You don't just give up a top 10 pick for a small forward who averages a goal and a bit a game. You aim for a B+/A grader with a top 10 pick.

    I would trade Pick 8 for Papley & a late pick to secure Isaac Smith.

    Papley is a very good player.

    And who might that be in this draft?

    You are going by the book, i am going outside the square?

    I'll leave that up to our recruiters.

    And no, I'm going by 'don't blow our cap on a one goal a game small forward'.

    So who is going to increase our Goal Kicking output next year?

    Papley is a good player

    I take little notice of numbers since Scully & Trengove...

    We need Players for the now

    Papley isn't going to significantly increase it. 

    Like I said, if Papley was cheaper, I'd look for a trade, but not pick 3 and not if his wage/asking price is ridiculous. 

    I'm glad you're not running the club mate.

    You don’t rate Papley, I do, and i am not the only one who does. We missed Elliott so who is the next target?

    who takes the spot of Garlett? 
     

    Pick 8 can be used wisely i hope...

    If Pick 8 got Papley i would 100% do it.

    Papley, Langdon and Tomlinson in via trades and using Pick 3 to get the best kid we can would = the best trade period we've had.

    Pick 8 for Papley and Sydney's 3rd round pick I'd take.  Then look at the next few weeks splitting pick 3.

    Agreed. We need Senior Players ready to go

    Pick 3 can be left alone...

    Hang on a second. I do rate Papley. I just don't rate him as a B+ or A grader. I'm not sure many would.

    Daniher deal might be off if you believe this.  Where does that leave Papley i wonder...

    Joe Daniher not going anywhere, according to Tim Watson @7NewsMelbourne

    Not with pick 9 i wouldn't think

    Carlton could include a future pick in the Papley deal. 

    I'd rather Weightman at 8 than Papley.

    Papley would cost too much, both in terms of pick and contract.

    Desperately clutching at straws to combine goal assist stats and goals kicked to rate him. Fools gold.

    You think SOS is gonna fight Dodoro in the parking lot because he wouldn't give up Daniher and give them the run at Papley?

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
