    Another poster described Papley as a "poor man's Brent Harvey". If you're a "poor man's" anybody, by definition you're not that great. Second round pick at best IMO.

    Pick 3 for Papley? Not in a million years mate, he's not worth anywhere near that.
  3. Misleading thread title - makes it sound like it's fact rather than opinion.
  4. Don't know that any coach is good enough to conjure up wins from two years ago. Your trolling is slipping, oilslick.
  5. Collingwood may accept picks 3 and 8 if we talk nicely to them and maybe throw in a sweetener.
  6. If we win the flag, nobody here will give an obese rodent's fundament how many points ahead North might be.
  7. I'm afraid my potential AFL career was cruelly cut short at a very young age by a tragic lack of talent and courage.
  8. In most cases, new draftees tend to not play many games in their first season. Gryan Miers, who others have mentioned as the type we could use, spent his entire first year developing in the VFL
  9. Papley's not that special! I think people are vastly over rating him.
  10. There comes a certain time when you know you're getting on a bit and that time is when you realise that there are no AFL players older than yourself and that your chances of being drafted have gone forever.
  11. Patton may not be such a bargain after three knee recos. I'd have been reluctant to trade for him. Imagine this forum if we did draft him and he did his knee again?
  12. To judge a player's worth on one game in isolation is simplistic thinking IMO. No doubt his GF was a stinker all the same.
  13. Happy to take this year's pick 8 (and change) in a trade for next year's pick 18.
  14. It's rather unfair of you. Lord Nev, to be engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
  15. Feather in his cap? I reckon Bell Yankee Doodle too much.
  16. Unfortunately, he'd be always off the ground under the blood rule.
  17. Can't wait to play Hawthorn just so we can all yell out "That's why we got rid of ya, Frost!".
  18. Hot chips and hot pies go well together.
  19. Yoko's info is that it's somebody not from the Pies. He (she?) could of course be talking about another prospect altogether and De Goey has now bobbed up at this late stage.
  20. You'd sincerely hope not, Alex. Far more than what he's worth.
  21. Yoko used the phases "excited by" and "not a battler". That would rule out Tim O'Brien I reckon.
  22. St Kilda are going to have to unload some players if they want to get all the new blokes they're supposedly after. Has anyone mentioned Paddy McCartin as a possibility to us ...and would we want him with his concussion issues?
  23. Resign from the Demons or re-sign with the Demons?
  24. Can't see that they would have the picks to satisfy us, which could mean a player or two coming our way. Maybe there's some truth in the Tom Hawkins "rumour", but can't say I'm keen on a bloke turning 32 next year.
  25. Believe that's known as 'poop art' Ethan.
