Exactly! Collingwood will pay him under the table if they have to

that's illegal......

I hate all this posturing stuff. Papley for 9 is perfect. If we have to add a second or a few later upgrades to stroke the Swans ego so be it. He is a huge need.

In a years time he’ll have kicked 40 goals under our big 3 and we’ll have another 7-8 years of Papley genius to look forward too as we rise up the ladder. We’d be lucky if pick 9 makes a noticeable impact before 2022. Get it done.

Romanticism aside, I was wary of getting Betts back. But if the reported cost is true ($ & pick), it’s an absolute no brainer.

100% with you Reaper man.

If both clubs came out a week before trade period and said that everything was great and a deal was in place, nobody would have anything to talk about. AFL has a vested interest in media space and interest around this time of year so it's just the nature of the Beast.

Pick 9 is a good deal for Papley. Get it done and move on.
Hawks gave a first rounder for David Hale!
We need Papley, we want him, that’s what he’ll cost. Just do it!

Exactly mate, couldn't agree more. Just need to get it done.

Think Aph likes horses.

Nup - just likes blue hair..........

 

[Magruder]

BTW people, I might add that I think SOS would be extremely wary of giving pick 9 directly to Sydney for Papley because if Sydney then use that pick as part of the Daniher trade, then that gives * 3 top 10 picks.
2 of those picks could then be used to recruit an elite mid, making one of the mid tier competitors stronger.
I doubt SOS will allow that to happen, especially if an elite mid gets linked to * early on, such as Wines.

Where do the other top ten picks come from?

I think you’re assuming:
Essendon trade next years first and Wrangle #5 out of Sydney?

Plausible ... not sure Sydney give up that muchthough

Hope not

But it doesn't seem as if the Swans will let it be that simple.

i reckon they will. Just media rubbish..

 

[Funk]

Becoming a target for Aph to shoot down...

Reminds me of those Cruise Missiles in the Iraq war.

 

[Blue__Balls]

Hope not

Keep in mind that Essendon also need to convince a premium midfielder to come to them. If they're losing Daniher and Fantasia, that task gets a hell of a lot harder.

Which premium mids are still "on the market"?

At this stage, Crouch for sure, though it certainly looks like he's just trying to get a better deal from Adelaide.

Wines is a maybe. His name keeps popping up but his manager and club have hosed it all down.

Hill is going to St Kilda by all reports, and isn't an inside mid anyway.

Langdon to Melbourne. Jones to St Kilda or Richmond. Ellis to GC, but doesn't need picks. None are elite.

Maybe Essendon swing something from left field that nobody has seen coming, but I'm not seeing why an elite midfielder would want to join a club who promise so much and deliver so little, and have just lost two of their most dynamic forwards. You could also probably argue that if Daniher leaves, and Fantasia goes to Port for Powell-Pepper and change, that Essendon would be in more dire need of a key forward than anything else.

In the beginning there was nothing.

And SOS said "let there be list".

And there was.

And on the 7 year contract to Brodie he rested.

The chances of us getting Grundy is about the same as Gold Coast winning the flag next year.

Possible but very, very unlikely. Laughable.

 

[Pafloyul]

I want a third rounder back in the Papley deal. Keep posturing SOS.

 

[Heres Waite]

Could it be about Joe Daniher? Betts and Carlton can’t make anything official till Monday.

 

[Stamos]

Trade week doesn't start till Monday?

 

[Blue Rising]

TLA is Danihers management company, could fit with what another poster was saying on here earlier about a Daniher announcement today.

Reckon that's a realistic expectation. Doesn't even have to come from Sydney - could be one from Essendon if all three clubs work something out between them.

Stalkers.

 

[ferrisb]

I've heard a whisper it's a young mid from SA ..
His name is Craig Bradley..
Anyone know much about him ?

Can't be right.

That guy's a state cricketer.....

I am sure at least 95% of poster created a instagram account to follow Coniglio and Papley...
