Recommitted Tom Papley [wanted to return to Victoria, nominated Carlton - didn't get there]

"Gun" - lets not get too carried away now.

Carlton offered 700k, North wanted him for 500k according to SEN. I think his true value is probably down the middle but of course you have to pay a bit more to get a player to move for the most part.

Going to be interesting to see what sydney accepts
Your offer was reported at 900k just this week, you ain't fooling anyone
 
And another one with his dreams destroyed

Bahahahaha celebrating too early there.. You should ring SOS and ask about how a player gets traded when he's got a 4 year contract to go?
 
because he is contracted for such a long time. Therefore his desire to leave carries next to no weight.

If you ask sydney supporters whether they want Papley or pick 8 ... 99% will say Papley.

It has to be a deal that we would be keen to do whether Papley wanted out or not, and pick 8/9 is not it.

That said, our club does its fair share of dumb stuff so I wouldnt be surprised if we accepted one first round pick.

Holding a player against their will doesn't seem like something Sydney would do culture wise but it's understandable to want more than he's worth given he's contracted for another 4 years.

The length of the contract supersedes that imo. 1 year or 2 remaining maybe.

But 4 is ridiculous. Makes a mockery of contracts.

Has anyone not named Tom Browne claimed that figure? Given that he is set to sign for ~$500k, put your biases aside and ask yourself whether it would make sense for a club to be offering 180% of a rival club's offer. That's insane. It's even more insane that a player would turn down what is essentially double the next best offer.

The best thing that AFL fans can do is not even acknowledge Browne's work. Without any hint of hyperbole, the bloke has no idea. The coaches hate him, the players hate him, and I'm sure that legit journos hate him as well.

Yeah look I totally get that and you're within your rights to hold onto him. Will be interesting at how much Carlton have to give up to change that.
 
If Sanchez Daniher doesn’t move to Sydney, the Swans ought to hold firm and not let one of their main avenues to goal, leave. I’d love to have him at the Blues but the reality remains that will such a long period to go on his contract, Swans are in the box seat to either hold tight or get what there want via a trade. I don’t see Papley cracking the sooks and doing a Cam McCarthy if he doesn’t get the trade he wants
 
Papley is contracted until end season 2021. The trigger clause is media huge and really not applicable. The Swans wishful thinking not official and counter singed both parties, preserving Tom’s market value.

Try again.
He will only go to Carlton if we bleed you a little.
He won't hurt the Swans. You will give more than his worth.

2 firsts for Papley and a second or third even. Do it Swannies !

SOS knows all about how this works ;), he wrote the playbook for this one.

The deal clincher will be Weitering & not pick 8. We want Weitering, not an unknown 18 YO who may leave in 2 or three years time. you want Papley
We want a ready to go backman & we have sounded out Weitering.
It is why we are dangling the prospect of trading Papley. This is not a case of Papley wanting out but our club is in need of a ready to go midfielder or a ready to go backman & we are prepared to give up a ready to go crumbing forward.
This is how it will go down. If pick 8 doesn't get us another quality ready to go defender from another club then we will persist with pushing for Weitering.
Not popular among the Carlton faithful but tough, losing Papley is not popular among the Swans faithful but we are clearly prepared to give something in order to gain something. Kudos to Swans but we won't make this one way traffic.
I know the club don't rate the draft & pick 8 is just a punt unless we get a ready to go player to fill a need.
That is what this whole Papley thing is about.
Look you haver shown yourself to be an immature child in this thread..just making up rubbish to suit your self ...now go away and let the adults discuss how this deal gets done and papley gets to the club he wishes to play for in the future.

Blues list manager in a slight pickle imo .... it’s great for the Blues to be a club on the rise BUT with a next yrs draft having very little value it only really leaves this yrs picks with real currency ....🤔
You would have to have very little football knowledge to not know that Carlton have plenty of kids with potential and are now trying to add experience into the side.
 
We’ll have to wait and see what happens next week. Reverse targeting Carlton players ala WB’s in the Griffen-Boyd trade is a smart way for the Swans to go about it if looking for players. Sucks for the Blues though, who I’m sure would be looking at parting with post 66-game rebuild draft currency, not a key player like Weiterbot.
We want a ready made player to fill a problem spot.
We won't pay a premium for Daniher as his groin continues to be an issue so the Swans are sitting tight & are in the box seat for any Papley deal who, is more than happy to stay a Swan for these next 4 years. This is purely to see what we can get out of Carlton & in no way intended to be a "fair" deal to address what Carlton want without the Swans getting what they want first.
I think Carlton supporters need to start realising this & that you will need to lose a player like Weitering to get Papley to your club.
Carlton will have to pay a premium for Papley & now that they have that taste for Papley in their mouths, Weitering will be the one we will force out of their club.
 
Calm down. There was some quality, funny posts made that page. Now flogs like you come in, their pants already exceptionally creamed, and stink up the thread.

Go have a breather, calm down, and try again.
