Sydney forward Tom Papley started the AFL season 404 goals behind Eddie Betts, but now stands alongside the Adelaide champion in a situation that would have been unthinkable six months ago.Betts, the electrifying 12-season sharpshooter and Papley, the first-year Swan, are the joint leading goalkickers in the 2016 finals series with nine apiece.Papley started with two majors in the qualifying final loss to GWS Giants, kicked a career-best four against Bettss Adelaide in a semi-final and three in the preliminary final victory over Geelong.Betts bagged six in a elimination final rout of North Melbourne and three in the loss to Sydney which ended the Crows finals campaign, which finished with the livewire forward kicking a career-best 75 goals.Papley, who was an apprentice plumber before being picked up in the 2016 rookie draft, has kicked 29 goals this season, second highest at the Swans behind Lance Frankin.Paps is in his first year of football, you forget that, Franklin told the Seven network.He kicked three this week and then last week kicked four. Thats an unbelievable effort by a first-year player to come in and hit the scoreboard like that.Papley, whose grandfathers Max Papley and Jeff Bray both played for South Melbourne in the 1960s, is still coming to terms with his meteoric rise.I spoke to him before the prelim last week and he was just shaking his head (when comparing) where he is now to where he was last year, Swans back Nick Smith said.You can see his excitement and hes just really enjoying his footy at the moment.For all the hoo-ha over his goalkicking exploits, Papley has always made forward pressure his biggest priority since breaking into the side.Thats what I work on the most, Papley told AAP after kicking three goals on debut in the opening round against Collingwood.If Im going to play in this side its what Im going to play for - not to kick goals, just defensive pressure.LEADING GOALKICKERS IN THE 2016 AFL FINALS SERIES*9 - Tom Papley^ (Syd), Eddie Betts (Ade)*7 - Tory Dickson^ (WB), Clay Smith^ (WB)*6 - Lance Franklin ^ (Syd), Tom Lynch (Ade)^Club still involved in finals series Cheap NFL Jerseys .

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Sam Rogers wasnt intentionally the focal point of Virginia Techs offense early against Virginia on Saturday, but with a couple of early touchdown runs to get the Hokies going, he became one, and he turned an emotional Senior Day into one hell not likely forget.Rogers ran for a career-best 105 yards and two touchdowns and Virginia Tech tuned up for next Saturday nights Atlantic Coast Conference championship showdown against No. 4 Clemson with a 52-10 victory -- their 13th in a row against their state rivals.Were not done yet, first-year Hokies coach Justin Fuente told the crowd after the game.Rogers, one of 13 seniors honored before the game, scored on runs of 8 and 32 yards for the Hokies (9-3, 6-2), whose ticket for the title game was punched when North Carolina lost to North Carolina State on Friday. It will be Virginia Techs first appearance since 2011.Rogers long run came on a between-the-tackles play that didnt set up the way it was supposed to.Everything just got jumbled up in the middle and I just peaked outside, Rogers said. Everyone was still running right, so I ran left.The victory sent Virginia (2-10, 1-7) to its seventh consecutive loss.Jerod Evans threw for two touchdowns and ran for another for Virginia Tech, allowing the junior college transfer to set school single season records with 26 touchdown passes (Tyrod Taylor had 24 in 2010) and 3,752 total yards (Logan Thomas had 3,500 in 2012).Fuente, whose team was going through a walk-through yesterday while the North Carolina game was going on, congratulated his team on earning the trip to Orlando, Florida, next week, and even in his first year at Virginia Tech, said he knew they would remain motivated.In this scenario, I would have been worried about it, but not in this game, he said. This game means too much.Virginia went with a quarterback rotation, sometimes from play to play, and was outgained 579-247.It is a little bit of a different challenge than were obviously used to, said Kurt Benkert, the starter for most of the season who was benched last week after struggling in several games. We felt like we were able to do everything we need to, but we just didnt.dddddddddddd.He finished 9 for 26 for 122 yards with one touchdown. Matt Johns was 4 for 10 for 17 yards and threw two interceptions.I struggled a bit with that, Johns said of the rotation. It was hard to find my rhythm and really get a feel for the game.THE TAKEAWAYVirginia: The Cavaliers have a long way to go to get to the talent level and mindset Bronco Mendenhall expects. Returning Benkert to the field after a series of skittish performances behind shaky protection and benching last week was probably meant to give him something to build on, but the Cavaliers will also have to rebuild their offensive line and replace Taquan Mizzell and Keeon Johnson, two key seniors.Virginia Tech: The Hokies three most recent victories were all by three points and all on the road: at Pittsburgh, at Duke and at Notre Dame. In between, they lost a home game to Georgia Tech in there, so dominating should bolster confidence heading into next weekend.It was good to get back and have a dominant defensive performance, Hokies defensive coordinator Bud Foster said.RECORDS AND MILESTONESEvans broke Taylors TD pass record on a 39-yard throw to Cam Phillips in the second quarter. ... Evans broke Thomas total yardage record on a 14-yard pass to Isaiah Ford in the first quarter. ... Ford caught four passes and became the 17th player in ACC history with 200 career receptions. Virginias Taquan Mizzell became the 19th Virginia player to rush for 2,000 career yards on an 8-yard run late in the first quarter. ... Mizzell needed six receptions to join Ford in the 200-catch club, but caught just one.HE SAID ITI think this game was a statement game, to tell Clemson that were coming. -- Virginia Tech defense end Ken Ekanem.UP NEXTVirginia Tech will face Clemson in the ACC championship game next Saturday in Orlando, Florida.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
