It does leave a sour twist so soon after a GF win, that’s for sure.

Frampton and Markov say hi as well.

Tell you what mate, I’m absolutely knackered. Might hit the sack soon and dream about last Saturday. What a day.

They were discarded by their previous two clubs. It’s hard to be loyal when they flick you.
Correct me if im wrong, but my recollectionwas buckley was pretty upfront about not wanting to be at brisbane

Frampton was not discarded
We aren’t showing much loyalty to him by not extending his current deal.
If your job said we can’t guarantee your employment in 12mths you would start looking elsewhere. If you found somewhere guaranteeing you 3yrs you’d take it.

It was GWS, but I believe we asked for him in the Heath Shaw trade and GWS were happy to move him along.Two clubs acceptable, three clubs questionable.
I don't think Adams went out and told GWS he didn't want to play for them any longer and demanded a trade.

Lipinski had a contract from the Doggies in front of but asked to be traded to the Pies.
Our club hasn’t got a record to be proud of when evaluating loyalty.
Treloar. Grundy. Stephenson.
We all know it’s a business, and a player needs to look after his own interests as well.
Tay will always be a Collingwood player in my eyes. Good on him for looking after our clubs best interests, and at the same time his own, and looking to move and give us a chance to get a 200 game draftee.
Hopefully we do the same for someone from Sydney, a Sheldrick type.
Or just one of their Best 22. We give one, we get one back

Let’s face it, there’s not much loyalty in footy anymore. It’s a business these days. Wasn’t Pendles shopping himself around a couple of years ago?

Collingwood are the 2nd oldest team in the comp. all year I've thought that if we don't snag the flag this year then that was it for this current group.
anything less then entertaining the opportunity of offloading injury prone 30+ players for future players is gross negligence by the club.
Adams is a great servant of the club but every player is just a cog in the (team) machine.
I don't apologize if this comes across as ruthless. McRae can give him an extra big hug on the way out.

Dime a dozen mid who tried his bum off.
Grateful but I think this is a great scenario for us. He isn’t taking us anywhere.
I won’t be losing a second of sleep over this

The Mitchell situation is a bit different to the Adams one.Hawthorn almost literally pushed him hit the door,while we didn’t do anything like that with Adams.

Collingwood has the upper hand here given Adams remains contracted. Adams will go to Sidanee if Collingwood is happy with the return; as simple as that.
Who said we weren’t going to extend his current deal?We had all of next year to do that.People are making assumptions about the Adams contract to justify him walking out on the club.

Look at me! Look at meeeeeeeee!
I like Taylor, good player leaves it all on the field, a leader around the club, I wish him no ill will, but
Adams was one of Buckleys under 18’s wasn’t he?
He’d be the last player who came to Pies due to Buckley i reckon.
Whilst I have loved Tays hardness at the ball, I won’t miss his woeful disposal efficiency.
I can remember far too many games where Treloar and Adams would have close to 60+ between them with a 50-60% DE.
With Titch being a massive upgrade on Adam’s and Pies not willing to extend his contract due to worries about his body, I don’t blame him leaving.
I’m happy if we can get some trade currency for him. Hell maybe we can give him to Sydney for free or a late late pick and they can pick up all of Grundys salary we are paying.
If that’s possible I’d reckon Wrighty already has the wheels turning!

He's not slow or average mate. A great player for the next couple of years. Best 22 in any side.He's gone
Report: Taylor Adams informs Collingwood of trade wish
The Collingwood vice-captain has reportedly informed the club of his call.www.sen.com.au
got me stunned the Swans want to give a 3 year contract to a 30 year slow average midfielder with poor kicking skills
all the best Taylor, take the money and years and run

He is a club leader and heart and soul player but this move makes sense for all parties.
Adams has one year left on his contract but had to play a different role with Mitchell. And with the youngsters coming in at the end of his contract who is to say he may not be nudged out the door or told he may play one more but expect to play VFL. He is a professional sportsman so getting a guaranteed 3 years at 30 years of age is hard to reject.
For the pies, the absolute worst thing we can do is to lose our youngsters that are developing in the VFL like MacRae,.McInnis, Allen etc. If they feel they need to leave to get game time then once our older players retire we will go backwards quickly. With Adams going we can start to get these players more regularly into the firsts.
