Traded Taylor Adams [traded to Sydney for pick #33]

[VinnieB]

Late pick. Poor disposal and undisciplined.

Looks like it will be a higher pick than what the Swans pay for Grundy.

 

[VinnieB]

Reckon we'll get a read on that based on what picks get used in the trade

They’ll spread some of that out over the 3 years.

 

[Roogene]

I've heard many sources say the deal stands.

But either way, so what?
.
If Collingwood tear up his deal then he's not on any deal and we can offer whatever we like.

Who says we have to pay him 800?

Nothing compelling Sydney to pay him 800.

So not sure that channel 7 is accurate

And even if it is, so what? Maybe he's prepared to take less to get a game and not play at Casey.

Zero evidence or suggestions that. Sydney will be paying 800.

If you don't Melbourne will not trade him, he is contracted.

trade talk. If you want to talk Grundy take it to the other thread. We'll start deleting comments if this continues

 

[PieLebo87]

What’s the general consensus? Sydney’s pick 23?

 

[Swanssince91]

What’s the general consensus? Sydney’s pick 23?

Look I think it's too much, I do understand he is contracted and required.
I can't help feeling that we're doing you a favour tho

 

[Caligo]

Depends on the money I think.

I’m not sure what the value should be, but irrespective, if you land your man, you’re getting a heart and soul player who’ll do anything short of running through a brick wall for the jumper. He’s an absolute bull who’ll absolutely dominate for you inside.

I’m not saying this because I’m in a Taylor Adams trade thread, but I’ve been shocked he hasn’t played as our #1 inside mid ahead of Mitchell all season.

If you make finals, he takes his game to the next level. Just need to look at his finals record, including the 2018 GF for evidence. He’s built for September.

Yeah he and Grundy were big for you that day

 

[EBERT THE KING]

Adams and pick 36 for Pick 23 and Pick 44.

Collingwood then move Pick 18 for Schultz.

I think these are actually relatively straight forward trades.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Such a odd move. His body has fallen over. I doubt he makes it past year 1 in the 3 year deal before retiring injured

Pick 18 for Schultz?

Yeah, fingers crossed they know what they're doing

 

[Jeremias]

He played 23 games this season and suffered an untimely injury. It's a bit of a stretch to say "his body has fallen over".

It was only a very minor string too?

 

[rye]

Lyons would be gettable for not much.

i dont think lyons wants to move interstate with his young family for a year of footy, probably retires at the end of 2024

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Protected at HF however. His body isnt up to full time midfielder role is what im getting at (sorry didnt explain that well before)

 

[VinnieB]

Such an odd move. His body has fallen over. I doubt he makes it past year 1 in the 3 year deal before retiring injured

He played 23 games in 2023 and 18 games in 2022. Not sure his body is all that bad. Sure he has had some hamstring issues, but the guy is the ultimate professional in terms of preparation. No reason he can’t play another 3 years.

 

[Swanssince91]

I don't think there's to much protected in afl these days, once they ball it up everyone's in the same area

 

[Jeremias]

I would suggest that Sydney strongly disagree with this.

Yeah but I think you moved him out of the midfield to nurse him to those games. Swans wanna plonk him in the middle. If they do it wont last long. His body will not be up to it I think

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

I would suggest that Sydney strongly disagree with this.

Oh for sure. They are taking the risk and hoping he goes back to his best. Im just saying I think they will be wrong on this one.

If I was Sydney and wanted a experienced bigger bodied midfielder Id want someone with more longevity or someone cheaper. Seems like the worst of both worlds move

 

[EBERT THE KING]

Pick 18 for Schultz?

Yep. I think thats spot on for his value.

 

[Swanssince91]

Yeah but I think you moved him out of the midfield to nurse him to those games. Swans wanna plonk him in the middle. If they do it wont last long. His body will not be up to it I think

I would assume it's a shared role with Luke Parker

 

[Swanssince91]

Yep. I think thats spot on for his value.

Played well against us
Yeah I probably agree
