Ha. He's just gone on holiday to Hawaii, someone tweeted asked where he's playing next year and he said:

Don't make jokes, this is serious business. We are trying to conduct trades here! Real actual trades, it is important.

Taylor Adams' manager Scott Lucas said on SEN radio a few minutes ago there is "little to no chance of Adams remaining at GWS, and his preference is either Geelong or Collingwood - whoever can get the deal done".

Sounds like nothing will happen until next Friday, when the compo picks are done
every trade period is the same, a lot of talk for the first part, then a mad scramble in the last 2-3 days, I don't know why this trade period is 3 weeks?
it used to be 1 week, then they realised it was the same every year so they made it 3 days which worked really well, now because of the free agency stuff its 3 weeks, the AFL need to reduce it to 3 days again imo

I don't think it will get reduced, or at least not by that much.
The AFL love the extra press that comes from the constant speculation.
Nickname Bull, hard at it. Strength is his strength. Weakness is his inexperience. Hard at it, never a backward step big boost to your club going forward. You should be happy to get him.

IN gave a pretty good summary. He has serious brain snaps on and off field (suspension for a hit on Cooney, plus a bar brawl in Geelong). He's like Moloney or Rischitelli or even Swan, minus the elite running - will go hard at the ball like a bull at a gate, will get it, but not much finesse in congestion. It's either a handball (ok) or a bomb forward (eh). He's not that Simon Black-style player who can get the ball and weave it to someone in a better position. Should be a really solid player.

Looks like Adams is directly dealing with Collingwood.

and with Heater going there it be done Very Soon
Sounds like SOS is trying to play hard ball, the old Carlton links clouding his judgement in dealing with us.
Adams is far from a pie yet and ditto Shaw to Giants as much as GWS are telling the world.

Its a win for u guys no doubt getting the best rebounder in the game at 27 years old for a unproven kid with an attitude problem, whos to say Adams will be a star. Would love Shaw at the Swans I still don't think the Pies are doing the right thing trading out such a gun but good for guys

IMO pies fans lost patience with the whole trade month saga towards the end and ended up taking out their frustrations on GWS and adams.
It seemed for the weeks leading up to trade week there were several very basic and obvious things that would happen
White for 2nd/3rd rounder - done in 1-2 days
Karnezis for 3rd/4th rounder - done in 1 day
Adams for Shaw - done in 3-4 days
Unfortunately these were highly unrealistic and as things dragged on for weeks without Collingwood getting a single player we grew restless. Losing two favorite sons in Thomas and Shaw really didn't help the mood and we were desperate for some good news which always seemed just around the corner.
I am in the minority but I think both clubs handled things well, both clubs were obviously very busy and in talks with numerous clubs at any one time but I was confident the deal would get done.
Media making up crap also really didn't help.
Anyway the saga is over now and let's hope both clubs can have positive trading relationships going forward

Well I agree that the Media was playing Funny Buggers making it sound like the Adams Trade was getting Further and Further Away from Actually Happening. Which we found out to be False
