Bluemour Melting Pot XX - Snark Free Zone

If Paperly doesn't come, it makes for a pretty exciting 2 or 3 days to see what SOS can shake free with pick 9.

I suspect he will either split pick 9 or take it to the draft if Papley doesn't come. Doesn't seem like there is any other worthwhile players on the market worth giving up pick 9 for (well that we know of)

Defensively docherty is better than Whitfield. Even at 70%. Whitfield is an offensive flanker, a distributor. Does no defending. Docherty was a defensive general, took intercept marks, locked down when he had to and was a good enough spoiler. It's a non contest defensively.

So it’s a no contest offensively because Doc isn’t at the level of Whitfield with ball in hand. Not at 70% anyway......

I think Whitfield probably has doch covered even when both are 100% with ball in hand.

If I’m Sydney Papley stays unless Daniher gets done, so I don’t think it’s surprising. That is this years 659pm trade & the AFL will love it. Carlton, Essendon & Sydney 3 way at the death

I know everyone wants this deal NOW OR YESTERDAY but just think about the feeling of pure elation if it came off at the death knock on Wednesday. The absolute reverse of #shielgate for some.

Swans playing hard ball with Papley.. looks like we’re won’t know until Wednesday.Martin and Betts will be done.

Would that being Butler back into play or has that ship sailed ?

I personally think Pick 9 straight up would be more than enough. Would be prepared to add a 3rd rounder to get it done.

Pick 9 on it's own is overs, but Swans hold all the cards. Will be interesting to see how SOS plays this.
Paps is EXACTLY what we need.

 

[Cripptonite]

Remember when Tom Harley publicly begged the AFL to reinstate the Swans COLA a few months ago ?

Typical Private School Trust Fund Brat wanting even more cash to splash from Daddy attitude

Would like to see how they would get by without these bs acadamies, COLA and that shoebox they call a home ground.

Sneaky operators who crack the sads if one thing goes against them. Similar to Geelong.

Pick 9 and 41 for Papley...that’s a hefty hefty price.

 

[Benaly28]

If we’re offering pick 9 for Paps and change back,why wouldn’t they accept that,it’s more than enough unless it’s tied in with Daniher deal.

Barrass giving good accurate mail again.

He hasn't said we're likely to miss Papley. He's said Sydney are playing hardball and we won't know til Wednesday. It has been pretty obvious that the Daniher/Papley trades will happen wednesday on the 90% chance they happen. Barrass has just let the masses here who are time poor and wondering what is happening know.

 

[Cripptonite]

Maybe a future third would be more appropriate than 41. Agree it’s a hefty price, I just really want papley and rate him highly.

I can understand why others may not agree though.

 

[windows1]

I’m fine if we don’t get Papley. We keep whatever (9?) we would have given up for him. Prefer Papley Obvs. Just not wrist slitting stuff.

 

[Mezzoculo]

South American dictator. I believed he’s passed. Doesn’t offer much for improving list.

Yet was recently sighted touring Gold Coast's facilities.

 

[AB_Blue]

So if Joe D stays we need to entice Sydney with something other than 9.

Given the talk of them next year needing picks for academy players maybe we need to turn 9 into a first next year ?

Does this bring the hawks rumour of pick swapping into play?

Man, for Pick 9 on the table, I'd tell them to bash it if they want more and go and get a decent Mid.
We have Betts for a year or two, we can have another crack at Papley when contract is done.

 

[Arr0w]

Let Swans play hardball with Papley, which may have come about if Dodo is considering accepting a player in the JD deal, rather than 2 x 1st rounders

We just redirect our attention to another target with the 2 x 1st rounders we have

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

Better get Dan Butler back on the hook. “Yeah mate we still want ya, we’ll call ya back Wednesday arvo with the details”

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Are we going to make a ****ing trade? I just want to see a trade, anything. Swap pick 70 for 71!!!! ANYTHING!!!!!!

 

[Mr_Plow]

Worst case scenario we just go with Polson as small forward again for a year.

Come on man, hold it together.

Trade week hasn't even started yet.

 

[Zlatan]

Whilst dodo can be his own worst enemy at times, I do respect his 'we'll make the bastards pay" type of attitude.
He's no SOS, but he is a shit load smarter operator than what Hughes and Rogers were.

Dodos reasoning is completely solid on this one.

Your contracted, prime age, 200cm+ forward that your whole offence will operate around wants to leave, and you’re given (hypothetically) picks 5 & 25.. your options are extremely limited. Aka Jenkins.

I am sure this is happy reading for the Northern Blues.

Doesn’t sound like a redirect though does it Azza? Sounds like a ‘wait and see’.

 

[BlueTongue]

Martin not worth a first rounder, has not played good enough footy. Didn't have a good enough year. Surely he gets done for one or two second rounders.

Surely one is enough? Two would be massive overs.
