    I am not sure we can actually get another club to pay Papley's salary while he is still on our list.

    I think we would need to trade Papley to another club if we wanted to get his salary off our books. And then give them a draft pick as well to encourage them to sign him.

    I think the AFL's acceptance of "salary dumping" means they are now happy to approve 1 sided traded deals. Rather than letting clubs have a larger salary cap by trading picks to another club.

      Papps was pretty non-commital about his contract situation when asked about it recently on TV, but hopefully something will be negotiated over the long break.

        Fingers crossed we can keep him

          I read an article, which I’ve been trying to find since, without success. In the article Paps said he was putting off his new contract to the end of next season.

            Cox was wonderful, and I don't doubt he has been working with McLean over these past months

              For those that thought we should have been into former pick 13 from the 2017 draft Jarrod Brander 12 months ago, he's been delisted by GWS today.

                I'd be pretty peeved if Papley left, we appear to have done pretty much everything to keep him happy - even employing Colis in the VFL as a stable pony.

                  Unless you read a different piece to me, I think he said he planned to wait to the end of this year before starting talks, not end of next season.

                    There's no positive correlation between someones playing ability and their coaching ability. Often times the best coaches are players that really had to work hard for any success they achieved, and specifically to think more about their game than more gifted contemporaries.
                    In the case of ruckmen, is Cox best suited to advise an undersized ruckman like McLean - a bit like me offering advice on playing the piano accordion.

                      That’s why I’ve been trying to find the article!

                        I'm interested. How much do you charge for lessons?

                          Your recollection is the more accurate.

                            Our list really is in very good shape.

                            With the exception of Lloyd who may move for big $ as a free agent I am unaware of any of our first 22 tomorrow not starting next year.

                            Plus Sheldrick, Roberts, Corey Warner and Gould waiting in wings along with Campbell, Logan, Ladhams and Amartey and three high quality draft picks from this year.

                            Very good reasons to be optimistic about the next five + years

                              It’s on the AFL site as part of an article headlined by the Suns looking to give away pick 7 with Bowes. Can’t do links on my phone.

                                Papley told AFL.com.au. "I've still got next year to go so we'll probably come into talks at the end of the year and next year so I'm looking forward to that."
