does not have a great relationship with Blues coach Michael Voss<\/a>.<\/p>\nPapley is contracted until the end of 2028 and battled through an injury-ravaged 2025 campaign as his Swans fell from minor premiers to 10th.<\/p>\n
He confirmed on his podcast, The Early Crow, he spoke to his manager about being linked to a Curnow trade.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy manager rang me just to be wary if something comes out in the media that your name\u2019s going to be thrown around for the Curnow stuff because of previous years,\u201d Papley said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was pretty clear that it\u2019s not the club that wanted to do that, it\u2019s solely on their management, and they\u2019re looking for someone to trade for Curnow.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I was pretty stern with him and said, \u2018Man, I\u2019m pretty happy at the Swans. But I\u2019m definitely not leaving if Curnow is coming.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d love for it to happen. Everyone knows he wants to get out of there and wants to come to the Swans or Gold Coast or wherever. But we\u2019re going to have to give up a fair bit and that comes with you\u2019re going to lose a couple of mates, which is tough as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, it\u2019s got to work for both parties, and I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll be trying to do anything that we can to get him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Blues have been adamant they will not trade Curnow, a dual Coleman medallist who is contracted until the end of 2029.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur position is pretty clear. It\u2019s been stated \u2014 I don\u2019t even know publicly whether we\u2019ve said anything \u2014 but he\u2019ll be at Carlton in 2026,\u201d Voss said on SEN this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose discussions \u2014 if there are any others \u2014 will continue behind closed doors.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a two-time Coleman medallist, it could have been three, who has four years to run on a contract. We feel like he\u2019s an incredibly important person to us.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll figure for us moving forward and hopefully he\u2019s playing out the rest of his career here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sydney star Tom Papley would be keen on his club trading for Charlie Curnow – but has rejected…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":115626,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-115625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
