Tom Papley comes back into the Sydney side for its first final this season after injury interrupted the second half of his campaign, during which time the Swans fell into a mid-season slump and dragged itself out again to finish as minor premiers. More than at any other time during the year, September is when small forwards like the Pop-Up Sprinkler have their best chance to stamp themselves with authority, as evidenced by Shaun Mannagh and Nick Watson already this weekend. Much will rest on the shoulders of Papley, who is a big-game player.
