Incidentally what ended up happening with Mr Allison?

pretty bad things from memory..........

Was literally uploaded this morning! Lol!

Already been discussed at length pages back and in the Papley and Daniher threads lol.

On Ellis, the truth is likely somewhere in the middle which can often happen when parties are engaged in exploratory discussions.
Ellis would have been handy but I wonder whether our interest waned once we became more confident in securing Martin?

I think something like this could get Papley and Martin done.

Carlton give pick 9, future third, pick 41, pick 46.
And get back Papley, 25, 51, 60
Then 25 and change for Martin. Puts Papleys value at 12 which is about right.

If it's who I'm thinking then I'd happily give a 1st for him.

I think you're thinking of a name starting with C, so am I but pretty sure we're thinking different names.

No C in the name I was thinking.

Big fish in the works. May not get both paps and Martin if we land it. Elite midfielder. Don't ask who the player is.

Hate to bring up the old 'Gun Player' argument again, but there would only be 1 or 2 elite midfielders in each club. Big fish might require 2019 and 2020 firsts?

Well my apologies then. Who has time to read every single page and post in here though?!

Not me. I just hang on and go for the ride!

I just can't see us passing on Papley for an elite mid when we've courted him for so long and he's publicly nominated.

The deal gets done somehow or no player ever nominates for Carlton in the near future.

In my opinion it Wouldn’t be a great precedent to set after you have courted a player, having them nominate you and then disregard for someone else.

More detailed article on Pask giving Carlton a serve on the Ellis situation:

AFL trade news: Brandon Ellis Gold Coast, Richmond, Carlton, Marty Pask frustrated with Blues

Outgoing Tiger’s manager reveals ‘frustrating’ Blues trade process

www.foxsports.com.au

Some pretty strong language where he's quite strong in painting Carlton as the party in the wrong, like we were the ones that backed out last minute.

TCP said it was because Ellis asked for more money once we missed out on Cogs. Another previous rumour in this thread that we lowered our offer to Ellis to try to get Cogs. Timing wise it also seems possible that when Teague was made official and given more control, he made it clear he's not interested in Ellis.

Not sure we'll ever really know for sure.

Seems a bit precious.

Went through the "process" with Carlton, which we're assuming is, what, medical, club tour, contract discussions etc. and then before the season had finished, and as other players became "available" and our salary allocation took shape, we advised him we wouldn't be bringing him on board as we had other list priorities.

So...suck it up?

How is that any different from what players like Kelly, Coniglio, Martin, Gaff, etc. do every year? Court multiple suitors, take up their time and resources and force them to factor in their possible recruitment in all other contract/acquisition planning, and then at the last minute say "sorry, I'm going somewhere else" or "actually, I'm staying put, I was never really wanting to go anywhere after all".

AFL.com suggesting three team trade “looms”.

Essendon - picks 5 and 9

Sydney - Daniher

Blues - Papley

Apparently we are asking for something back too.

Swans set to pay huge draft price for Daniher as three-club deal looms

Essendon could receive draft picks five and nine if Joe Daniher goes to Sydney

m.afl.com.au

As we should. I'd say a 3rd rounder - Essendon's 49 - is fair and values Paps at 14.

As hard as it is to believe, Sos and Dodoro are close mates and have a great deal of mutual respect for one another...
I would hate to be Sydney is this deal.

Guessing you were thinking Christian Petracca?

 

[Aphrodite]

Just read that Sydney are showing interest in Riley Knight and also Lewis Taylor as a replacement for Papley.

Interesting.

Wouldn't have thought he'd impact plans for Papley and Martin. Brayshaw is a straight up mid/late first rounder - ie. our future first.

Not the one I'd heard but I'd be more than happy with that. The one I'd heard rhymes with fistian tabacca

If we’re talking Cerra absolutely yes, worth every granule of our future 1st round pick, and it would be an almighty win for CFC.
