Nostradamus Lives Taylor Adams to Collingwood

[HFF]

425k for 3 years?

Pfft. If that were true, the kid should sign now.

There's no way they would pay him 425k at age 19.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Taylor Adams supported Geelong as a kid.

Collingwood have made an offer 425k for three years.

Richmond have yet to make an offer but has met with Hardwick and toured the facilities. Adams was very impressed and wants to play at Richmond.

Richmond will find out more on Monday where Dustin Martin stands, then make an offer to Taylor Adams.

Adams will decide whether it's Richmond or Collingwood.

If things stall, Hawthorn lose Buddy, then Hawthorn will become an aggressive player in this trade.

Won't get into (I will a little bit...) what Richmond may or may not offer. But a name that's been circulating is Nathan Foley and another name is Dylan Grimes. Richmond may give GWS both for Adams and their pick 19. A fair and realistic trade where Richmond add another young bodied midfielder into their line up but also give up a seasoned veteran such as Axel (who is only 26) who has been in Richmond's leadership group for years. Dylan Grimes is really to explode onto the scene, we've seen some great things from him, it's up to injury management for him.

I don't see Collingwood or Hawthorn offering a fair trade like that. I don't expect anything to sort itself out for another 2-3 weeks though.

No way would richmond trade Grimes. He is new to the leadership group and just signed a new deal.
IMO pick 12 or watever ours ends up being should be enough. If not Foley or Griffiths should get it done.

Supported Geelong. Not sure where this Collingwood supporting thing has come from.

His manager, he played with Geelong Falcons.

His manager, he played with Geelong Falcons.

He was a pretty passionate Geelong supporter. His manager is playing games.

Griffiths has no value whatsoever. Hasn't shown much at all.

Grimes would make the trade fair and that's what it takes to get these things over the line. Richmond may not do it, but they will definitely consider it internally.

Theres only two types of supporters in the world, Collingwood supporters and those who wish they were. I'm not really fussed which camp Adams is in. If he can play hes welcome.

What about eddie's deal with gubby? Gubby won't be happy. Gubby will turn grubby!

I'm certainly quite happy supporting Richmond.

If we want to go ancient we can go back to the beginning, or forward to the AFL era. Nice little biopsy though.

Come on mate, clearly a tounge in cheek comment.

Mate thats a whole other thread

Who anyone barracked for ..does it really matter? Justin Murphy barracked Geelong (or so they said) worst recruit ever .

If Joel Selwood had been drafted by Hawthorn would it have matter he barracked for the Cats.?

At the most its marginal. And Adams would look at things in a professional manor not just who had on the wall when he was kid.
Im sure any player would give consideration to any AFL club , based on remuneration , conditions , opportunity to play etc..

 

[FuManchu]

I don't think it really matters to players anymore whom they barracked for. Once they've been in the system for a few years, they realise it's a business and their services are a tradeable commodity.

Spot on. Once they are in AFL then you don't barrack for a side. They work for a club then

 

[choo]

Staying at GWS i believe.
New offer Post Buddy.

 

[TradeDraft]

His manager said on radio tonight Collingwood is his prefered club

Looks Like I was right

 

[TradeDraft]

No chance of happening but I'd prefer Adams over Thomas at Carlton.

Well that did not work out

 

[TradeDraft]

Adams wants to go to Richmond.

Well going by Adams interview after the Trade. That was False
