Probably the only people in red & white not liking this pick-up would be Angus Sheldrick & Matt Roberts.

Which can really only be a good thing for us. Two youngsters with more reason than ever to bust their arses for a look at senior footy.

 

[Bonz]

Rapt one this

Exactly what we need

Wait Punts is positive???

The sky is falling!!

Seriously this is a fantastic get for the club.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Welcome Taylor. Hes a big game player and will lead the way for our youngsters on how to handle pressure and expectation

Agreed, I always liked him, even as a pie and rate his game, particularly his ability to perform at crucial moments.

A great get for us. And will help provide leadership to a team that hasn't handled big moments all that well.

Welcome Taylor!! Glad to have you on board.

Gus will get his opportunities, regardless Roberts I think gets pushed down the pecking order a little. But with Mills going down, he'll still get his opportunities.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Heading to the Vatican, how fortuitous, I assume he made a prayer for the hell he's going to unleash on opposition midfields over the next few years.

 

[Callipygian]

Surely I've misheard and he didn't say "my favourite fiancee"? Can someone clarify what he actually said please.

I think he stumbled on fiancee, and corrected himself

 

[Adnico26Parker]

He posted a really good farewell video on his and Collingwood's Instagram feed - quality guy, very classy.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Get used to playing sore Taylor , Horse doesn't mind

Could be worse. We could have port's doctors.

 

[bloodsbigot]

I like that. He addressed the fans directly.

 

[Swannnnn]

Well played swans social media

 

[dosser]

Just had a read of the Adams thread on the Collingwood forum. Apparently a 3 year deal means we are giving him $850k pa for 3 years lol - they don't quite understand the concept of a longer contract to smooth out payments. Also, this is only possible because we get a bigger salary cap than they do.

Never change Collingwood fans, never change.

 

[Nuggetz]

Great get for us, added bonus he's already got a connection with Grundy so should help our mids with the organisation side of things even more.

 

[Nuggetz]

Find the whole Taylor Swift connection a bit cringe. I get it as a once off but hope it's not a regular thing from our social media team.

Ah yes, the mythical increased salary cap.

Btw, don't tell me to shake it off

Any chance we could get this guy a real nickname. Always felt a little sick inside when I heard Bucks or Collingwood supporters refer to him as 'Tay'

Can' remember who but someone referred to him like an anvil? The Anvil?

Andy Dufresne? escaped from a shithole

I was just wondering where the nickname came from. I mean I get "Tay" but why the double up?

It's what people call Taylor Swift

In a Venn Diagram of Collingwood fans and Taylor Swift fans I would not imagine there would be a lot of intersectionality.

Andy Dufresne? escaped from a shithole

Yes but it is never confirmed if he was guilty or not.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Yes but it is never confirmed if he was guilty or not.

Yes it was. Another guy admitted he broke in and shot the wife
