Tony Sheahan @TonySheahan @melbournefc is believed to have inquired about @HawthornFCstar Isaac Smith today

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

Bang! That's all they ever talk about on trade radio! Absolute pure trash. Nothing is happening, but let's continue to talk about him.

Herald Sun reporter Jon Ralph told Fox Footy’s Trading Day that list managers had flagged to “watch this space in the next 24 hours” regarding Melbourne. https://coupler.foxsports.com.au/api/v1/article/amp/afl/afl-trade-news-rumours-whispers-tom-papley-melbourne-pick-swap-with-north-melbourne-leigh-montagna/news-story/9ab0d7acc3ca1acdd6acff618656bff0?__twitter_impression=true

Papleys asking price is too much for our salary cap.

Tom Browne just reported that we are looking to trade pick 3 to GWS for pick 6 and a future 1st round. Make it happen Mahoney!

In saying that if we do pull this off, @Number 2 Will be my new best friend.

I smell a troll

I must admit I was surprised we picked him up as a 2nd round pick last year. I thought he was a late pick rookie at best. We need to take into account that he was the youngest player selected in his draft year. So 2019 was always going to be a development year for him. I think he showed promise at times in the VFL, but at the same time there were times were he was a bit sloppy. I think he has the traits to become a solid AFL player, but personally I am just not sure if he can take that next step. I know from a personal point of view he has been training extremely hard this off season with the likes of Jack Viney who has taken him under his wing. I still see him as that wing/half back as he does have really good kicking kills when in open space. Not blistering quick but his speed is sound enough. Reminds me a lot of Bernie Vince when he started out.

So correct me if I am wrong, but does that mean we currently only have 2 picks in the draft?

Every footy club has one...

Something May be brewing.. Jon Ralph @RalphyHeraldSun So now Melbourne have picks 3 and 8 in this year's draft after pick swap with North. Do the Demons have an ace up their sleeve for a player trade we haven't heard about?

I reckon he plays his best footy across half back. The small times that he played wing this year he just looked completely lost. With Hibbered cooked, I would like to see him go back to half back and utilise his kicking skills.

Mitch Cleary just said that he doesn't think we will bid on Tom Green, which then makes sense why we wont split pick 3.

Mitch Cleary thinks that we wont bid on Tom Greem which then means it probably makes sense that we wont be splitting our pick 3.

He's played against men. Which ever way you look at it he's played against tough hard man who a lot play VFL footy still when selected. Recruiters are scouting these Ovens and Murray games because they feel it's such a good development ground for them especially when they are playing senior against the likes of Albury Tigers where Daniel Cross has been playing the past 3 years. Maybe ask Crossy his opinion on that standard. I am sure you'll get the same exact answer from him. And I know for fact he has been on record in saying this. I don't expect you to have a high opinion of country footy. You've never experienced and seen what these struggling country clubs go to extreme measure to stay alive as a club but also a community.

Barrett said this morning on radio that he doesn't think the pick 3 for GWS split picks will eventuate at all. Said he hasn't heard anything at all and looking most likely that we'll take pick 3 to the draft.

Apparenly Neitschke had really impressed coaching staff before his knee to the ppint where he could have easily played the early games against Richmond and Brisbane.

Going by what Mahoney was saying on trade radio I think you are in for a rude shock. Seems like we will hit the Draft for a small forward. Wasn't no mention of going after any forwards that were available in the trade.

AFL trade week is an absolute crock of [censored]. Such a big build for little return. Should just go for the full week like it's named.

I reckon we have shut up shop.

Starting to think we won't split our pick and just head into the Draft with pick 3.

Wrong. Played a few senior footy at my home club in Yarrawonga including the elimination final in 2018. Same club that has included former AFL players like Brendan Fevola, Steve McKee, Tim Hargraves and Jason Wild who have all played there.. The ovens and Murray is regarded as one of the best leagues just below VFL level. A tough and free flowing standard. Young Jimmy is well known to our family as he grew up and played rep footy with my little brother. But they are also close friends. My brother and James were out last Saturday night on the [censored] together.
