Tom Papley (born 13 July 1996) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Sydney Swans Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was drafted with pick 14 in the 2016 rookie draft by the Sydney Swans.[1]

AFL career

Papley made his AFL debut in Round 1 of the 2016 AFL season against Collingwood Football Club, kicking three goals. He earned the Rising Star nomination for Round 5 following an impressive display against the West Coast Eagles in which he kicked two goals, earned 20 possessions, had six inside-50s and took eight marks in a match played in wet weather.[2]

Family

His grandfathers, Jeff Bray and Max Papley, were teammates with the South Melbourne Swans from 1964 to 1966, before the team's move to Sydney. Papley wore number 41 for his first two seasons, but following the retirement of Jeremy Laidler after the 2017 season Papley was able to take on number 11, the number Max Papley wore for 45 of his 59 matches with the South Melbourne Swans.[3]

Two of Papley's cousins, Ben Ross and Michael Ross, have also recently played in the AFL.[4]
