Will we have a thread "Will you Boo Adams" or it's a given? 
Hopefully, we pick up another "Steak Knives" selection with a pick for Adams. |

I think we'll miss him in the clinches |
i agree....
but as much as i have stood up for him, and want him to stay, he can be a bit of a butcher with the ball on occasion, and um, a tad selfish passing off to a better kick for goal? I never want to lose any of the favourites and long timers, but realistically, his hammys and his age... if he wants to go to play til 33, instead of 31, and a fear he wont get game time...well...when you consider Naicos and Mitchell, and even Beau,
and no, i would never boo him!

Said in another thread, wondering if we can turn Adams into something much more. Adams and 100% of Grundy's contract for late pick then BANG. Big war chest for the best FF around, pry out King or McDonald.

'Might not get done': Pies to play hardball over contracted mid's move
https://www.afl.com.au/news/1051551/might-not-get-done-collingwood-magpies-to-play-hardball-over-contracted-mids-move-to-sydney-swans
COLLINGWOOD footy boss Graham Wright insists Taylor Adams remains a required player despite the veteran's trade request to Sydney.
Adams made his trade request official on Sunday having missed out on the Magpies' premiership win through injury.
He has one season left on his existing contract with the club.
Speaking to Continental Tyres AFL Trade Radio, Wright said the Magpies maintained a strong relationship with Adams and didn't rule out keeping the vice-captain at Collingwood.
"Players have got a right to explore. Taylor's got a year to ago (on his contract), we see him as a required player. We've told him that," Wright said.
"He informed us yesterday he'd like to look at a possible move to Sydney.
"He's contracted, so there's certainly a way that he stays. Our relationship's really strong with Taylor and we've had some good conversations, but he's requested that trade."
Wright said the Magpies were yet to discuss a possible transaction with Sydney.
"We'll have a look at it, but he (Adams) knows that it might not get done and he's playing with us," Wright said.
"We've had a little bit of a look but we haven’t actually spoken to Sydney."
Sydney said its desire to trade in Adams as well as ruckman Brodie Grundy from Melbourne comes in a bid to boost its midfield and emulate recent premiership teams' experienced list profiles.
Geelong claimed the 2022 flag with the oldest team in AFL/VFL history with an average age of 28, while Collingwood this year was crowned premiers with an average age of 27 and eight months.
Luke Parker aside, the Swans' midfield unit is centred around Errol Gulden, James Rowbottom and Chad Warner, who are all under the age of 23, while injured co-captain Callum Mills is still just 26.
"We've got the youngest midfield in the comp, in an era where the most successful teams of the last two years have had the most experienced midfield group," Swans football boss Charlie Gardiner told Continental Tyres AFL Trade Radio.
"We think (Grundy) can really add to us in that department (and) that is (also) why we have an interest in Taylor (Adams).
"We need some support around our midfield."
Meanwhile, Wright also dismissed talk that John Noble - another of Collingwood's Grand Final heartbreak stories - could follow Adams out the door.
Noble played all 23 home-and-away games this year but was dropped for the finals series.
"We really understand and sympathise with John but he's just signed a three-year deal and we see him as part of what we're doing as well," Wright said. |

Lachie Schultz will more than adequately fill Tay's forward minutes and then some. He'll live up to Tay's "heart and soul" example as well. 5 years younger too
Mitchell was already the preferred inside mid with nowhere else on the ground to effectively play. The role of relief inside mid might have to be a jobshare
If it's Adams out and Schultz in then we have improved our list. |

| Anyone know if Adams is a free agent/restricted at the end of next year? |

So we face the same situation as Freo does with the Sarge.
Hold them to their contract for 12 months and get F all if they leave then, or let them go and take what we can get, hopefully more than the F all the AFL would give next year.

Except Schultz will still have a fair bit of footy ahead of him and likely to be in more demand across the other 17 clubs than I imagine Adams would have.

Yes, with our midfield Schulz is a 40 goal a year small forward which is an excellent return

Might get Reid for free. Swans are waiting till the end of trade period before deciding whether there's a spot for him.

I was surprised he was still playing. |
Well, Sam's not actually been playing (in injury rehab), but "still a listed player". (But we know what ya mean.)
| eddiesmith wrote: | ...
The whole point of Mitchell wasn’t to replace him but complement him, the fact neither of them are reliable to play 25 games a season means we need both. |
Just for injury coverage? Isn't that like folks claiming Melbourne are in a good position having a $650k VFL ruckman in case Gawn breaks down?
| qldmagpie67 wrote: | ...
He’s as hard as a cats head and has been our spiritual leader for years now and was likely to assume the captaincy under Buckley but with a change of coach that changed as well
Also rumour has it he was pushed to breaking point 2 days before he wanted his final hit out to see if he could make the GF
The club wanted certainty around who was playing (rightly so)
Sydney needs in and under mids and leadership and he offers all that in spades

Media are saying he'd give them "leadership coverage" after the Callum Mills stuff-up.

Hmm... Flip didn't really have a great career for the Hawks.

100% isn't realistic. The Swans don't have COLA, ya know!
'Sydney football boss Charlie Gardiner declined to comment on Monday when asked whether the Swans wanted the Demons to foot part of Grundy’s wage, on top of what the Magpies are already paying.'
