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.

    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.

    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?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
