Is Harry our most important player, the man should be signed to a 5 year deal before more Sh*t stirring articles like this one appear.

Ricciuto is effectivley saying that HT is the same value as Rory Sloane, why would we need anymore bloody midfielders the only bloke that we would trade for is Dangerfield, Harry will not leave
 
What a ridiculous premise. Crows have zero chance of getting Taylor. Not to say that FA doesn't make us vulnerable, but Adelaide???!!!

HT has lived in WA, then upgraded to Geelong, there surely isn't enough money available to make him want to lower his quality of life so far as to live in Adelaide.

If he left we'd get bent over with some shitty first round pick, Sloane would actually be good compensation in a poor situation as he is a proven player.

When I was a kid I had a game called uno tower, there is a similiar game called Jenga (?). Anyway if Harry leaves it would be like taking out a tile from the bottom corner of the tower, the whole "rebuild" would collapse to the ground.

Please sign Harry.

They would need another club involved cause they have no 1st or 2nd round picks due to the Tippett affair i think a top ten pick and sloane would be enough to get us interested
 
I read the article and for the most part he is correct.
He is way off the mark saying we would take Sloan though. The only mid we would want is dangerfield, no others.
If we couldn't get him we would ask for a player that's an up and coming tall star, maybe a talia, or their ruckman whose name currently escapes me or similar.
We would not take Sloan.
Of course it's all irrelevant because he's not going anywhere.
 
A ridiculously hypothetical argument by Ricciuto. He says:

"You have to give something of equal value to the opposition in an area where you can most afford to lose."

For me there could be only one player - Patrick Dangerfield. But it simply isn't going to happen.

​
 
Ricciuto was a champion footballer but the guy is a total hack when it comes to being a media commentator. Don't take any of his comments too seriously.

Both of these players are irreplaceable to their current sides.

Taylor is a high quality player but I'd sooner cut off my left nut than see Sloane traded. He's our hardest working midfielder.
 
Let us pop this little idea real quick.

3 Chances of this happening.

None.

Buckleys.

and

F#@K All !!

GWS will offer more. Fremantle will offer more. HT will have a tough decision to eventually stay.
If we win a premiership this year, it will be a really really tough decision to make.
Adelaide did get screwed over by their own doing, but they aren't in the race for Harry.

Would have Sloan though. Great bloke and already A grade midfielder.
 
HT is not replaceable.

In 3 years time....maybe.

Not now.

That said, if they offer the universe ( Dangerfield and Sloan) how do you say no that.
but they won't...

GO Catters
 
more worried about GWS, GC or Melbourne throwing him a $1.2mil+ a year contract

those clubs would love a player like Taylor

GWS have an extra 9.8%, they would surely offer him 1. Billion. Dolllars.

Part of his success as a player right now is the system he is in too. Don't get me wrong - HT is a gun - no question.
That said, wold he be as effective in a group of kids (GWS) that dont have the telepathy that HT, Lonners, Riv, Mack and Boris do currently.

Im not saying he is not worth keeping - far from it - but in a different system with different parts around him would he still be as good...

He gets to choose when to push forward right now.... another team may not have the defensive prowess to allow it and cover his move..

Go Catters
 
As Taylor will not be a free agent, clubs will have to trade for him.
They will need to come up with 2 1st Rd picks or a player of value to us plus a 1st Rd pick
The most likely destination would be WA ( the go home factor)
Fremantle nor Eagles will have 2 picks to give us.
Neither will be willing to give us a player we would want given they are both in contention in the next few years. Can't see Harry going to any other state therefore he will stay and sign a new 3 year contract in the next month or so..
That's what Balmey and I have decided.

Taylor is not a free agent so we won't be getting bent over by anyone.

They start coughing up top ten picks or they can forget it.

And Adelaide has no picks this year so they are the one club with no chance-most silly article I've read in a while.

If any such deal was to take place, it would more likely be a three-way deal, with us picking up some KPP prospect from GWS.

Won't happen though, for starters I suspect HT is on more money than stated in the article.
 
Lets just say for a moment that he would listen to an Adelaide offer , and that they could so much offer more than us. What deal would get it done. Not Sloane alone and thats if we would want him. I like Sloane but he does not equal Taylor. The only way id take him is if the Crows paid for him for a couple of years.

Geelong would probably try to think long term and trust the players they have. But it must be quality , so something like Crouch and an R1 pick would be close. How they get an R1 is their problem but I cant see them giving that much up.

In the end , its just an Adelaide centric article , and has no real basis to the real world.
 
I was really annoyed when I saw this article. He really should know better, regardless of the fact he is forging a media career and the crap that goes with that ambition.
