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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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 ?

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.
We have a guy called Dan Hannebery we can send your way.
Your first round pick and it is a done deal.
