LOL - Yep, though it's hard to argue with Longmire's plan of putting Papley anywhere we need to turn the game.

I assume Papley would be at least 80% forward, then 20% in the midfield. It just mixes it up for the player, makes the opposition think a little more as to who is Papley's opponent (does he follow Papley into the middle?). Just makes us look a little bit different.

Papley should spend some time in the midfield and give guys like parker and heeney a chop out. However pur best and most potent forward line needs papley to play predominately as a forward.
I also like the idea at playing rohan at full forward for extended stretches. We have a few different set up that horse refuses to use.
Examples.
Buddy at full forward and reid at chf
Sinclair at full forward and buddy chf
Sinclair at full forward and reid at chf
Isolate buddy one out
Reid at full forward and sinclair at chf with bud pushing up.
Rohan at full forward will give alot of teams headaches...he could effectively be a homeless mans dangerfield. Explosive off the mark, good hands and a better set shot.
We need to try all possible rotations throughout the year and make it harder for opposition to plan for us

Do you know what would make it hard for opposition teams? Us actually kicking lace out onto the **** of our forwards.
Hopefully it was a focus in the off season.

I seriously thought him done. With each setback, it escapes me how he keeps fighting his way through. How many athletes would have called it a career after half of the procedures and rehabilitation AJ has been through? I don't know about the rest of you, but when he makes it back to a senior game? I am not ashamed to predict my eyes won't be dry. In fact, I am keeping a mop and bucket close. A big load of hopes and prayers will finally be paid off.

I used to believe in fairy floss balloons and clowns until one day I realised that many clowns are just paedaphiles using an opportunity to get close to their prey. Where there once was dreams now is accompanied by cynicism. I would love to believe that the club is motivated solely by welfare of AJ. Lets face it, it is a major PR outcome and boon for Swans within the whole AFL community if he makes it back on the unflinching support of Swans. Others who were able bodied like ROK didn't get that loyalty. They had reached the end of course and how could the club sacrifice for them? Yes agree.....we must always be moving forward and doors get closed accordingly.
This year is the acid test for AJ. As much as I would love the dream, I don't think it's going to happen. And if he doesn't I will shed a tear but my thoughts won't just be of AJ it will be all players who've been left with unfulfilled dreams

AJ clearly has plenty still to give.....like the compromising pictures of Horse or Tom Harley he must have.

Or even just kick it to the advantage of our players. I know Papley, Rohan and Buddy can get the ball off the ground pretty well they just need it not kicked over their heads.

How handsome is Dane Rampe in the background. My thing is girls, particularly my wife, but I can recognize a dish when I see one.

The 1930s called. They want their movie star back.
I don't reckon he'd be struggling for bed warmers.

Well, I hope somebody has found him a stunt double, or he has the good sense to not imagine a chain is a hurtle this year. I hear he has tired of the jokes about it, but that was begging for it.
