    I'd honestly throw everything we can to nail down those two. I know it would push someone like Dickson out of the side but seriously. A forward line with Dale, Naughton, Llyod, Bruce, Elliott, Schache (who I am still bullish on) and if we can develop someone like West into a tackle-machine up forward, it would be the scariest forward line in the comp.

    Papley willing to go anywhere as long as he is back in Melbourne.

    I say lets go for him

    Carlton would be at least pick 8. We'd have to add a player good enough to cover our pick 13.

    I am sure something can be worked out.

    Would someone like Lynch be of interest to them with pick 13.

    He may get a better run at Sydney.

    Bruce, Keath & Papley would be an unbelievable result. Dare to dream, Sam P.

    Re: Who would you target for trade now?

    If we could find a way just to get Keath and Bruce across the line and still have a pick in the 20s I'd be doing backflips.

    Elijah Taylor, Flea or a genuine slider.

    Papas would be shit hot just what we need.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Gee I hope we are into Papley.

    He would be a perfect addition.

    That should be the bare minimum result.

    Reading about what's going on with him, it sounds close to what Josh Schache was going through in his last year at Brisbane. I imagine as both were drafted in 2015 from country teams, they may know each other from way back. Schache might be a good ambassador (with Bonts & Naughton) to grab a meal and talk about footy and how our club supported him back to a healthy balance of professional footy and closeness of family.

    The highest bid looks like Pick 9 with Carlton.
    Our pick 13 then has to have a good player added, probably a mid McLean/Lipinski/Libba/Wallis type. Fringe players have no currency. Look to minor exchanges of their pick 28 & 45 for our pick 35 & 53 after compo shuffles. (Makes Bruce & Keath & future 2nd pick trade's easier)
    Offer him the $700,000 X 5 (that Martin knocked back)

    If he is in fact gettable, big IF, then we should make it happen.

    I’d be very careful about trading out F/S unless they request it.

    And Libba was top 5 B&F in the first half of the year. He’s going nowhere. He’s not replaceable.

    We seem to have committed to both Keath and Schache so I can't quite see how we can make a play for Papely with the picks we have as it stands. Would he really be that much of a difference maker for us?

    Things to consider:
    - We still need to position ourselves better for next years targets, we can't lose sight of that
    - Could we package up the 3rd round picks into something that would satisfy Adelaide or StKilda while maintaining an early pick?
    - Our list spots are very tight
    - Could we trade away one of our own established players to improve our position?

    There are a lot of things to consider, this is where Power and his team earn their keep but I'm not sure we have the chips to do so unless we take a vastly longer term view on things

    I completely agree. After losing numerous mids to retirement/trade, and Kennedy getting on, they should be in a lot of players ears. If they offered longer years, same/slightly better money no a promise of 90/10 split of plying midfield. That might entice someone to look at being open to a trade.

    Spot on, trying to trade any player who didn't see it coming is typically a problem for a club as it can impact the other players and I agree the father son players make it a bit harder as well.

    I doubt we would have any player in our best 22 looking to leave us but perhaps some of the players just outside of that would be interested if other clubs approached them
    Could someone like Zaine Cordy see the writing on the wall that he is potentially behind Keath, Trengove, Lewis and Lachlan Young and Wood for a senior spot and think his best chance could be at another club?
    A few here have mentioned McLean also

    Once the trade period starts there could be a few clubs with an eye on our players
