Sydney Swans star Tom Papley has slammed Essendon for their off the ball tactics during their spiteful 30-point win on Saturday night.
The ladder-leading Swans' 19.17 (131) to 15.11 (101) victory at the SCG on Saturday night was overshadowed by a huge bump from big Bomber Peter Wright that left Sydney midfielder Harry Cunningham concussed.
The match was barely four minutes old when the 203cm-tall Wright leapt in the air, turned sideways and knocked out the 181cm Cunningham.
The Swans man was taken off the ground on a stretcher and substituted out with concussion, while Wright copped a chorus of boos every time he subsequently touched the ball.
Set upon by a throng of irate Sydney players, the big forward faces a lengthy suspension.
