Papley has made a solid contribution to the seniors, but is he that far in front of a Rose or Brandon Jack who can play his position?
He is only young, but given the same opportunities as Papley at the moment Bruest, Pulopilo, Zorko, Palmer would be kicking 5-6 goals a game. I may be the only person thinking this, but he needs to be more clinical with his disposal. There will be games against the Hawks, Geelong or North where he will get only one or two half chances and will need to slot them.
I think McVeigh can play Papley's position and offer more class. Rohan can play back or forward and offer more versatility.
