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.

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.

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

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?

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
