HEY MAGPIE ARMY!
Do you think this has materialised out of nowhere over the last 8 days?
It’s not impossible

Do you think this has materialised out of nowhere over the last 8 days?
They're usually pretty good. Keen to see what they hear
I think it is pretty far fetched. It has probably been on the cards for much longer. Sydney probably scoped him out through the year, given we weren't playing him in the middle and his deal was expiring soonIt’s not impossible
Speak it into existence RustyA tad narcissistic, but hopefully the above article from Beveridge indicates that my trade proposal on Friday planted the seed around pick 23 being the value.
We want pick 23!!!
It’s as simple as he’s got a 3 year contract for his last contract in the afl. Wish him all the best
I guess but we don’t know what is going on behind the scenes at other clubsFlorent, Hayward, Rowbottom, LoMac are the No goes and pipe dreams
They're well run the Swannies. They're pulling off what we did last season and will nail their needs for not much in trade cost.SWANS LOOK TO LOAD UP
SYDNEY'S pick No.23 shapes as a central plank in the club's bid to secure all of its trade targets, after winning a commitment from contracted Collingwood midfielder Taylor Adams on Sunday.
The Swans are set to be among the busiest clubs during this year's Trade Period and will also look to secure a deal for contracted Demons ruckman Brodie Grundy, having already secured free agent duo James Jordon and Joel Hamling.
As reported by AFL.com.au on Sunday, Adams is the next to signal his intentions to secure a move to Sydney after being offered a longer deal and having missed Collingwood's premiership victory due to a hamstring injury.

The Swans are unlikely to part with their first pick (currently No.11) in any potential deals for Adams or Grundy, meaning their second selection at No.23 is set to play a significant part in ensuring they can seal moves for all of their trade targets.
Sydney has pick No.23 courtesy of a swap deal with Hawthorn during last season's national draft, while it also currently has picks No.31, 44 and 52 among its suite of selections.

Why not? Had he won, would he not be valuing contract security & coin even higher than the chance at victory?I can’t help but feel that Tay’s decision to leave has something to do with his heartbreak over not playing in the grand final.I couldn’t imagine him wanting to leave if he’d just won a premiership with his teammates.
They just need to transplant a brain into their captainThey're well run the Swannies. They're pulling off what we did last season and will nail their needs for not much in trade cost.

For Tay id be asking for Pick 23 + Swans pay our portion of Grundy contract. Contracted VC. Take it or * off

Rowbottom would be an amazing get thoughI guess but we don’t know what is going on behind the scenes at other clubs
Imagine if one of them has mentioned in their exit meetings that they’d be open to a move to Vic if a chance came up during the trade period
With two mids coming in, now that I see it we could be a decent chance of securing one of their mids. They can’t play everyone.I honestly think given an injury free run, and Mills coming back well, that Sydney with Grundy (top tier ruck), Adams (inside grunt), Hamling (2nd key back) and Jordan (replacing Clarke etc) will be well placed for a strong premiership run next year.
They’ll be fairly desperate to get the trades done.
Not playing wasn’t part of the script. He had already made his mind up if he had played in the premiership. Not playing made the decision a little harder for him to make.I can’t help but feel that Tay’s decision to leave has something to do with his heartbreak over not playing in the grand final.I couldn’t imagine him wanting to leave if he’d just won a premiership with his teammates.
You should read the match day threads when Adams gets hold of it, seriously injruy prone and turn over king, if we get pick 31 for him I would take it and run the * away <750k on our salary cap!
100%. Look like doing very well. I thought they may have gone harder for a kpd better than Hamling though, as to me that'll still be an area of weakness. The top teams all have an elite kpd. Paddy Macartin is a massive loss. Am I right in thinking he's retired?I honestly think given an injury free run, and Mills coming back well, that Sydney with Grundy (top tier ruck), Adams (inside grunt), Hamling (2nd key back) and Jordan (replacing Clarke etc) will be well placed for a strong premiership run next year.

That's an elite neck.
Same, Gus is a gun but we ain’t getting him. But if Wrighty pulls off a gun player trade in through the Tay trade, give the man a lifetime contract and a statue outside the AIA Centre.
A Wicks for some forward depth COULD be gettable.
Florent, Hayward, Rowbottom, LoMac are the No goes and pipe dreams

BT’s nephew tooRowbottom would be an amazing get though
