Tom Papley opens up on his recent calf injury and discusses how long he will be sidelined, his new role with the team and life off field as he begins his rehabilitation.

Papley felt for his calf late in the game against Geelong, and the energetic forward, who sustained a similar injury in the pre-season, was comparing the two after his diagnosis.

‘More than Footy’, presented by Bing Lee, features guests connected to the red and white family to chat candidly about the club, recent events in the AFL community with a Swans focus, recent game highlights, funny stories with and involving players. The show illustrates that the reach of footy extends well beyond the game on the field.​
