Sydney Swans investigate poor culture after Tom Papley incident
- Sydney Swans chief executive Matthew Pavlich admits the embattled AFL club has a "long way to go" as it grapples with a culture problem that has been exacerbated by Tom Papley allegedly driving under the influence of drugs.
- Papley, a high-profile forward and one of the team's most experienced players, allegedly returned a positive roadside test for methylamphetamine on Monday and will appear in court this month for driving with a suspended licence.
- If Papley's second sample is positive, the 216-gamer is likely to face an AFL penalty separate from any legal sanction.
