RANKING THE TOP 10 RUCKMEN IN THE AFL
6. Tom Papley
The energetic Papley is easily one of the most dangerous forwards in the competition. His combination of pace, agility and strength makes him almost impossible to stop when the ball is at ground level, with his ability to score from seemingly impossible angles making him quite the complete player.
The Swans speedster went from strength to strength in 2021, scoring 43 goals while racking up an elite 10 kicks per game. His 13.9 disposals average also donโt go unnoticed, allowing him to work really well alongside his teammates in a fast-moving Swans forward line.
