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

[Punts]

Blues are far from the box seat

He will be happy to go to either

We will get a very good deal

Pick 8 would be way overs. But given his contract length I’d understand swans wanting it.

Roos join Blues in hunt for star Swans forward

NORTH Melbourne has joined Carlton in trying to lure goalkicker Tom Papley out of Sydney.

The Blues have been public in their ambitions to add to their small forward ranks this off-season, and are keen to pry Papley from the Swans.

But AFL.com.au understands the Blues are not alone in the hunt for Papley, with the Kangaroos also circling.



New North Melbourne coach Rhyce Shaw has a strong relationship with Papley from his time at the Swans as an assistant coach.


The Swans remain adamant that Papley will remain with the club next year and have a strong position after AFL.com.au revealed that the 23-year-old is contracted to the club until the end of 2023 after reaching a trigger clause


But clubs have felt Papley could be on the move having been unsettled in Sydney at different stages of the past 12 months.


He has not requested a trade from the Swans, who are steadfast that he will not be leaving to return home to Victoria. He was originally drafted as a rookie out of the Gippsland Power at the end of 2015.


It is unclear whether the changes within North Melbourne's recruiting and list management department will affect its interest in Papley.


The club confirmed this week it will be parting ways with list manager Michael McMahon in coming weeks after three years in the role.

North currently holds pick seven at the NAB AFL Draft, with Carlton's first pick coming at No.8 (which was tied to Adelaide's position).

Carlton list manager Michael Agresta, who was part of the recruiting team at Sydney that selected Papley in the draft, last week couldn't be drawn on the Blues' interest in him when he spoke to the Road to the Draft podcast.


"We're not going to discuss other players, especially contracted players. We're really respectful of the privacy and some conversations that go on between clubs," Agresta said.


Papley has played 82 games for the Swans in four seasons with the club, booting 120 goals.


He enjoyed his best season in 2019, kicking 37 goals from 22 games and being Sydney's leading goalkicker.

lol north always embarrassing themselves

Don't know why North continue to publicly declare their interest in players (AFAIK Carlton have made no such thing on either Martin or Papley)

Anyhow I think they are probably too late in this instance, Papley has his heart set on joining Carlton, one would argue this is a tactic by North for Carlton to cough up more than pick 8 for Papley.

How would you know that he had his heart set on the blues?

You spoke to him directly and he told you to your face that his heart is set on yous?

If not stop talking shit

Maybe read the article??

Shaw was a coach at the Swans so good old Cal has thrown our name in the mix. No where in this article does it quote anyone from our football club.

So you haven’t spoke to him face to face?

When he ends up staying, what will your excuse be?

That the intel wasn't very strong.

His heart broke

That's the worst reply I have ever read. You should be banned for eternity.

I don't see the part in that article where North said anything.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I should point out that just because Papley will ask to be traded to Carlton does not necessarily mean he will get traded there, and there is always a chance he ends up at North if the Blues and Swans cannot work out a deal.

There is still a lot to play out in this.. But it's not a case of being sold to the Highest Bidder (like they do in the NBA)

There's a good chance Cal Twomey is bored today.

We're not competing for Sydney's signature.

Papley will nominate where he wants to go, if he wants to go. If he does then it will be done.

Won't happen, but for the record, I'd still do it. Pick 8 (2019) + 18 (2020) with something coming back, not too bad

Papley can nominate all he likes without Sydney's signature he cant leave the harbour
If North offer Sydney a better deal then Sydney could say to Papley its north or sydney


think you need to think about these things before commenting, He is contracted and sydney need to agree
so yes you are competing for Sydney's signature

Personally i think just #8 is fine , Just playing devils advocate

Ah yes, because in the recent history of AFL trade periods contracted players never get to their desired destination. Never ever. Lol.

Are you new?

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Trade wise, there is very little difference in what North can offer (in terms of picks) compared to Carlton, so I don't see why some Swans fans are cracking the sads really (unless ita issues relating to their own personal dislike of Carlton which is understandable given John Elliott tried to kill off the Swans in 1993)

Yes they do ............
But usually contracted players get to their clubs after the team they want to get to agrees to pay the price requested by his old club

Example : 29 year old Bryce Gibbs



Ohhh Yeah im new
