We might have indicated to him that he will not receive more than a year or 2 extension. Sydney might offer him 4 for instance and with guaranteed mid time. He now plays second fiddle to Titch.

I reckon the whispers started to happen, that we heard was early last week. How long they had been in the grapevine before that, who know. We just didn't want to let ourselves believe it.
Tough one. Such a heart and soul player. And uninjured, still commands a spot. But the list is ageing and especially in that context, staying still is going backwards. If Taylor can get 2-3yrs at Sydney and we get something handy, maybe it’s a win win.
I’m not convinced our premiership window stays open if we don’t make some bold calls. And/or maybe we need to take a step back in 2024 to access greater longevity as a legitimate challenger in the medium term. Develop some younger talent etc.
I wonder what we’d get for Taylor. Clearly not first round and perhaps not even second. Maybe a pick upgrade or a handy but superfluous to Sydney player?

If we don't get an reasonably early second round pick then he can just stay, he's still contracted

That’s a big harsh. I only said he’s no longer in our best 23, there’s no need to ridicule him by calling him clueless as well.

I suspect if TA wants to go, they will make it happen. I doubt that they will force him to see out his contract. Goodwill will kick in.

To a point, yes. But it is incumbent on Sydney to come up with something appropriate. Despite the view of a couple of clowns around here, he is still a “first 23” player. His departure would undoubtedly weaken our list for the 2024 season.

Who would he replace from our Premiership side?

Probably Ginnivan, given he was selected over him for most of the season.
I hope Adams stays with us next year but wouldn’t be surprised if he goes, particularly if the Swans are offering a three year deal.

Yes, in all reality he probably would have. My comment was about the future though. In my view he holds us back if we keep playing him ahead of up and comers. He is so battle weary it’s not funny. By comparison, Crisp is a spritely 30 year old.

Ginnivan and Lipinski for a start. Like every game for which he was available this year. Dumb question.

Can’t remember a game where Lipinski didn’t play. Given we lost McStay, Ginnivan was a must inclusion. More of a dumb retort.

If up and comers are good enough they push players out. He just turned 30, not 34. Macrae as his likely replacement is very unlikely to produce in 24 what Tay gave us in 23.

Ray Shaw retired at 27. Adams plays like a player much older than 30.

Mitchell is such a better upgrade and anyone who doesn't think so go back and watch that GF.
He did really well at times (some horror games) playing at HF with time in the guts.
I just think Fin is more then ready and we won't be losing much apart from experience.
Need to make big calls and Fin will be a very good footballer either at Collingwood or somewhere else.

Ray Shaw retired because Hafey told him to piss off. Your second sentence is meaningless - Adams just played his most games and is still strong and quick

Quick? What’s Bobby Hill then, the speed of light?

That’s your imagination. Tay just played 23 games this year. Ray Shaw - great example.

Bobby Hill is one of the fastest players in the entire competition. Not sure of his relevance

He started his career in Sydney, it’s only fitting he should end it there.
