swapped his plumbing tools for a Sherrin when the Sydney Swans sprung a draft surprise in 2015 – and the pocket-rocket forward has since become a crucial member of coach John Longmire’s side. Papley has played 20 or more senior games in every one of his four full seasons in the AFL and was at his best in 2019, topping Sydney’s goal-kicking leaderboard and finishing fourth in the Bob Skilton Medal voting. The Gippsland Power product took on more time in the midfield in 2019 and is likely to again split his time between the forward line and centre bounce this year. Papley was selected in the AFL Players’ Association’s 22Under22 team in 2017. Draft history: 2016 Rookie Draft selection (Sydney) No. 12; 2016 AFL Draft rookie elevation (Sydney).

Tom has had a minor procedure on his knee and said will back for pre season on Jan 7. I wonder if that's for all.

First to fourth-year players will return to training on Monday December 7 for a two-week block of training, while all other players will resume training on Wednesday January 6, 2021.

Appears that he misses no training and will return with the senior players who are in their 5th plus season

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Seriously admire how professional this man is. He’s a larrikin at times but he seems loyal and even though he couldn't get to Melbourne as he wanted at the time he still never looked like screwing the club or making things difficult for us.

Obviously has a really good relationship with his teammates, too.

Its very surprising that we held firm on him considering the circumstances as we are a very player welfare first club.

 

[Big Blood]

Blame (or thank) Dodoro.

I think we are. I'll bet we moved heaven and earth to make things easier for Tom without letting him go. I think he's very grateful. Things have picked up in the family and in his life in general. With Aliir gone he'll need a new drinking buddy but that's how it goes.

 

[SwansProudly]

Congratulations Tom on your 100th game.
Thrilled to see you wearing #11.
I loved watching Max from the bowling green side of the SMCC.

Gee that's gone quick! So, so glad he's still a swan and hopefully will be for his whole career.

Tom in 2020 round 1 vs. Adelaide - no crowd


Tom in 2021 round 1 vs. Brisbane - I missed you all - great to get so close to the fans

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I love how mad that guy was with the boot in his face. The girls seemed ok with it.

Papley is going to like having a Gulden as a friend for the next 8 or more years. Both slightly similar players who play in a similar sort of way.

Dare I say it. Gulden will be better.

 

[bedford]

Dare I say it. Gulden will be better.

Who cares they are both good , but no need to make a call after 1 f ing game

 

[S120]

Papley's third quarter solidified the game for us. Didn't do much in the first half but he was electric after half-time and it was a big reason we stretched away.

And the less our forward line centres on him, the better we'll be. Letting him be the cherry on top is perfect.

I can make any call I like. Its just my opinion. You can like it or not.

Plus years of junior games form doing exactly the same thing. Sample size? lol

Tom interview

Tom Papley | 24/3/21

Sydney Swans Forward Tom Papley joined the show after their Round 1 upset win over the Brisbane Lions. Papley touched on the win, the impact of the new rules and the impending return of superstar Buddy Franklin.

[Ralphyboy]

Dare I say it. Gulden will be better.

This week will be interesting. The game against Brisbane suited Gulden perfectly. He had no one on him for most of the game, and the fact the brisbane defenders sagged back suited his lead into space for the short kick. He also had Ah Chee who was terrible.

The Crows will be paying him more respect, will have a close tag on him to stop the short lead. Having said that he is a remarkable talent and may dominate anyway.

I also predict the next week Richmond will play dirty.
