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

[No1Suspect]

I think that would be fair. I don't rate Cameron much, but Papley is worth a pick inside the top 10.

In saying that though I hope this is just a rumour. I don't want to lose Papley as he is so much tougher and more reliable than almost all our other players. I for instance rate Papley as a better player than Parker and Lloyd.

If this does come to fruition, youll have 2 solid picks, id be chasing a KPD hard Aliir is a loan horse down back apart from Rampe, maybe target Serong with the other pick as a replacement for Paps?

Swans desperately need inside midfielders more than anything. Another bigger bodied KPD would be handy, but an inside midfielder is essential. The Swans midfield gets smashed every single week with clearances and especially inside 50's as we don't have anyone who can win their own ball.

Had Maibuam who was looking good as a stopper and McCartin looks good in defence when played there.

Really, really need good mids

 

[The Dr]

Would love the Dees to throw the kitchen sink at him.

Really hard to judge. hasn't he only once finished top ten in the bnf? Yet is a really good player.
Swans need picks next year to land 2 good kids so trading a 2nd round pick back won't happen ..


Carlton pick 11 and a 3rd round pick 2020 for papley and pick 24 this year?

Roos have pick 23 but that seems a tad to high..

I'd take that deal as a Carlton fan, expect it would be a swap of later picks that sydney won't use though.

 

[Bald]

What’s he worth then?

He's worth a high end first round draft pick. 3-6 I'd say.

 

[davis_756]

So you will have in effect traded pick 3 for Stocker, Papley & Cameron, fair deal IMO.

If North are into Papley, they are in a tricky siuation, pick 6 is probably too high, picks in the 20s are not getting it done and no player North is willing to add is of any value to Sydney.

FWIW, I think this whole talk is just BF & media beat up, absolutely nothing in Papley's demeanor suggests he is going anywhere.

FWIW our ITK posters have been mentioning Papley for months and i'd say they are more confident on him then Coniglio at this stage.

 

[The acurate one]

Excellent a top ten pick for smear, his season is tracking a similar trajectory to Cam Zurhaars, might suggest we hang Zurhaar out for trade.

If Papley wants out, he'll get out. If he nominates a club he'll get there and of course that weakens Sydney's position.

 

[Demon 16]

Worth a mid first rounder.

The Demons are screaming out for a decent small forward (or 2), and I’d love it if we could get Papley.

Doubt we’ll compromise pick 2 though and our second round pick (albeit very early) wouldn’t be enough.

I reckon Sydney will hold him to his contract if they can’t get a good deal done.

 

[king rising]

Quality player and would be perfect fit for us. Would part with our first pick

 

[Punts]

There are few who would be all over him imo
Melb desperate
Roos
Carlton
If the dons loose tippa and Fantasia

None of which have that elite small

 

[Rad Roo]

This guy is good, if he wants to leave sydney and nominates us, he will get here, these days contract means nothing. It's far more costly to hold onto a disgruntled player then to get the highest trade for him. Strike the iron when it's hot where if you miss the chance then when his contract finishes and has a bad season the trade could be far worse. Of course he hasn't really nominated us or given hints of nominating us so it's still very much in the open. We north have failed really badly when we went after the 'big names' or the known A graders but on the other hand, we have done exceptionally well with the 'no name' pick ups. We have acquired sizable contingent of player 'lesser names' that have established themselves and taken to the next level. To name a few we still have Anderson, Ahern, Higgins stepping up to take on central roles; hartung did a great job until he got dismissed due to Brad's rookie error; even Hvrovat was quite serviceable in 2017; Polec and Pittard have been very good players, key planks even. I have no doubts that Dom Tyson will find his feet in 2020 and do a job. Aaron Hall when he gets over his issues will return stronger and fitter than ever and i would dare say even be the center piece of our flag run as he plays this inside line breaking midfielder.

 

[Wayne Swan]

Wow, with all of those players going so well I doubt you can fit Papley in. FWIW, he's going no where, all this is just media and BF talk, very invested in the Swans as you'll find out at seasons end.

papley can be a solid gain, have him firming as a permanent small forward and gradually train the likes of garner and zurhaar into the midfield.

He ain’t going to the Kangas, off to the Blues If he leaves.

 

[Opinions are not facts]

Papley would suit Carlton’s style, he would complement curnow, Mckay with his quick style and clean skills. Not sure if Carlton has become the destination club it’s thriving to be just yet. But if they can land Coniglio that would be a step in the right direction.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I’d give Sydney the crows pick (~#8).

That’s probably overs, but he’s young, contracted and plays in a position that we really need covered (see: desperate buyer).

 

[Faz 2000]

Exactly right. If he’s keen I don’t think the Blues will stuff around, we’ll hand over the first - even if there’s some minor swap of lower value things too. I’d love him in our forward line around the tall timber.

 

[gandaal]

Sydney want two first rounders for him so he's probably staying. Although an early top 10 pick might change their minds.

Who said this?

Have you spoken to the recruiting team and Harley

 

[Elmer_Judd]

For someone with strong family ties to The Swans, got no idea why he wants out, if indeed those rumours are true ?

Falling out with Horse?
Any Swans fans ITK able to shed some more light on the situation ?

 

[Faz 2000]

Two firsts feels overs, I don’t think anyone is throwing that. But a top 10 pick is not to be sneezed at, if Papley is keen to move.

Don't believe me.

Think the Crows pick would be good for both clubs, would let the Swans pick Kemp, who could easily end up the best out of this years draft., and the Blues get a certified gun in an area of significant weakness.

We have a guy called Dan Hannebery we can send your way.

Your first round pick and it is a done deal.
