Papley's not that special!  I think people are vastly over rating him.

I disagree. He's hard as nails, fast, tackles, never fumbles, good kick inside 50, and kick goals. Plus he's under 24. A poor mans brent harvey for mine.

    I'd rather Martin than Papley.

    But the idea of going to the draft with 3 + 8 gets me thoroughly aroused...

    We're in the best position possible going into last day of trade period.

    Two extremely valuable picks are on the table if the right offer pops up.

    We'll be sitting back, cross-legged with cigar in mouth knowing that if nothing comes up, we go to the draft with two top 10 picks a year after making a prelim. 

    Added to that is the fact that we've addressed a problem area with the additions of Langdon and to a lesser extent Tomlinson. No longer will we have to play inside midfielders on a wing. 

    And this is all without mentioning the fact that we have a pre-season with Burgess coming up. One of the most highly respected fitness coaches around.

    I'm putting a cheeky $20 on us for top 4 next year.

    Dees.

    This kind of optimism had no place in demonland. Are you a new supporter? ?

    Picked up Tomlinson and Langdon to fix our wing issues. Pick Green at 3 in the draft, force GWS to match bid which will leave us able to get 2 of Young, Ash, Sarong, Stevens or Kemp.

    Only top 4? Where's your faith? Chuck a gremlin on us for the flag.

    What about this from left field.

    Offer Swans 8 for Papley and Tom McCartin.

    That gets Daniher done. 5 & 8.

    We then do 3 to GWS and get 6 and someone like Caldwell.

    GWS get Green and whoever they want at 3 .

    We fix small forward problem with Papley, key forward problem with McCartin and add pace/skill with Caldwell plus another good player with 6.

    Well I can dream can't I?

    Only pick Green with 3 if he's worth pick 3. They may let him pass, with the knowledge that the rank of available draftees moves up a spot. 

    However, if they do match a bid at 3 they'll use up pick 6, which means 8 moves up a spot.

    I note the Hawks have traded in 3 former number 1 draft picks in the last 3 years, all of whom have allegedly been injured and all have come extremely cheaply.

    Very left field Bombshell; 

    But I hear a whisper of secret dealings in the background.

    Pick 3 & 2020 2nd round pick (Hawks) to GWS for Pick 6 and Whitfield (gives GWS salary cap space).

    Angus Brayshaw (allows us to help pay for Whitfield & Papley) to Freo for Pick 10.

    Pick 8 to Sydney for Papley.

    OUT - Pick 3, Brayshaw and 2020 2nd rounder.

    IN - Picks 6, 10, Whitfield & Papley.

    Demons serious 2020 Premiership contender!

    Sydney love McCartin and have him pegged either up forward or down back for the next decade. Will take a lot more than pick 8 for Papley and him.

    Yeah well we can't trade any other 2020 picks now we've traded our 1st rounder so you stumbled at the first hurdle.  More detention for you.

    Anything is possible! But yes I am probably dreaming. ?

    Whitfield had a very poor Grand Final playing wounded. He declared himself only 50-60% fit after the game. Quite selfish I think!

    If I were GWS I would trade him. There going to have a Pick 3 & Tom Green (Top 5 rates) come in this year! 

    Whitfield allows the Dees to mix up the wing and midfield positions. And we get that elite kick we are after...

    If you trade your future first rounder you have to retain picks in the other rounds (we currently hold Hawks 2020 2nd round).

    You can trade any or all of future 2nd round on, as long as you retain a 1st round.

    This is to stop desperate clubs selling the future farm.

    All I can say is, we better not be planning a big name trade, we better have it sorted ALREADY. If we don't use picks 3 and/or 8, or pick 8 in some combo to secure a needed gun, that has to be the stupidest trade of all time.  One first rounder for a first, second and third rounder. FFS.

    I reckon it would be awesome for us to trade pick 3 for a second round pick and proclaim it is a sign that we will take risks and resort to unconventional means to improve.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
