Really disappointed by this decision from Paps.....once a died in the wool Blood.....now thinking with his groin.
If I'm the Swans....he's not going anywhere next year and Daniher stays at Essendon, to be recruited by us next year as a free agent and we play real hardball with Paps. Real hardball....Comment

Still doesn’t include any quotes from Papley and zero new information.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

I agree. Unless there's something we don't know, or we get a ridiculous offer like Carlton's first rounders this year and next, we should hold Papley to his contract and then cash him in for a decent pick at the end, or a year before the end, of his contract. There don't appear to be any compelling reasons to release him on compassionate grounds. It just suits him to 'go home' after he chose to sign a 4 year deal with us.Last edited by bloodspirit; 30 September 2019, 10:52 AM.All opinions are not equal.

I agree with this too. I think Cameron is a better and more reliable player than Daniher but would be very happy with either. I'm more than happy for us to wait another year to chase Daniher if that's an option but I suspect the opportunity, if there is one, may be now.
Incidentally, why would the Granny result influence Cameron's "gettability"? It was one game. The more important thing is that they made the Granny. If it does make him more gettable, don't think it says much about him.All opinions are not equal.

I love people questioning and challenging those in the media breaking the story. Don’t shoot the messenger people.
Papley wants out. That is a fact.
I’m now looking for the club to display some balls and either hold him to his contract or demand something crazy like Essendon is doing with Daniher. Carlton’s first round pick this year and next would do it.Comment

Wow! Massive amount of assistance offered to the Suns: Draft bonanza: Suns get top picks, second-rounder, Darwin zone, more - AFL.com.au. 4 top 20 picks (2 this year and another two next) including this year's #1 pick. Plus the ability to rookie up to 10 players and an expanded Academy zone and the ability to trade out these players for more picks! The AFL really want the Suns to succeed.All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)Comment

I now think Carlton planted the seed in Papley's head to return to Vic (he's not a Melburnian). This is because Papley was happy to agree to 3 year trigger contract extension when he was already in long term relationship with his Melb girlfriend (assuming this is the "family reason"). Carlton have seen this as opportunity to throw big $$$$ in attempt to lure him out......which seems to be having an affect. My hatred for them is resurfacing like how they did similar poaching Rhys-Jones and Berine Evans away from us. Gutted if we lose him, even if we get 2 x 1st rounders because I see him as a heart & soul of the club with his playing passion/talent and Swans lineage. I also fear if we let him go, Melb clubs will think any player on our list is gettable no matter length of contract.Comment

Just spoke to a person who keeps an eye on the draft as I don’t anymore. There’s no standouts from Darwin. ATM a couple who will be mid range picks next year in Jefferey & Lake .
Also it was pointed out to me that the picks for next year and the year after can be taken away after being reviewed. Which means that it gives GC more incentive to trade the picks before they could be taken away.Comment

Surely Carlton will have to pay out the remainder of Papley’s contract to the Swans?Comment
-
Agree with all KSAS. Having read Age article, I take some solace in that Papley is asking for a trade if possible but understands that he could be held to his contact. No way we let him leave unless we end up better off by some margin. Can't see this happening. Should also play hardball with Jones. Both coming into their prime having been developed by the club.Comment

Not enough IMO. He's a contracted player so we should be able to bend Carlton over really hard on paying out Papley's contract. Perhaps even hint to the AFL that Carlton should be banned from trading in more players for two years. Why should Sydney be the only club banned from trading?"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
