But this just isn’t true.
10 years at a club isn’t bailing. He gave great service.
The lack of respect for a great clubman in this thread is revolting.

Yep, and this year we’ve heard McStay essentially say it took a while to be embraced, Schultz cop lots of flack.
And these same supporters want us landing top line free agents or having players nominate the Pies.
A bit more respect to our own would go a long way.
You dont take swipes on your way out if you are a loyal servant and clubman.
Thats the difference , its not really hard to comprehend why people dont have time for him despite his length of service
Spot on. He had a sulk and a dig at Fly. It's bad enough if you were at the club for a few seasons and did that but he was in the leadership group.
I keep reading this. What exactly did he say?

Not much.
But we’ve still got Bobby Hill
The man with the cheeky grin is staying here still
But nobody wants to know Tay
They say he’s just a fool
They didn’t like his answers
But the fool left Bobby Hill only to see his Swans selection going down
And the eyes in his head see his finals predicament going round

It was pretty trivial from memory and not some "spray" like is being made out.
There are some very sooky posters around here.

He called Fly a ****ing campaigner and said he hated his guts.

The two Swans in between Adams and a shot at September glory
After two years of finals heartache, Taylor Adams is in danger of enduring more pain in September, no guarantee to replace injured Swans skipper Callum Mills, who hurt his hamstring last week.

I reckon Adams is well aware of his limitations and is prepared to accept the outcomes. His manager was brilliant in getting him 3 years

Sydney recruit Taylor Adams speaks on reason for leaving Collingwood, heartbreak of missing grand final glory
Taylor Adams requested a trade away from Collingwood as the Pies recorded a record-equalling 16th premiership flag.
www.zerohanger.com
Still talking about it in May this year. Or the article came out this May
Nearing the end of the home-and-away season, the 30-year-old's manager started seeking potential moves to rival clubs, with one sticking out as a plausible landing spot.
Adams admitted that he had to make a decision "with his head and not his heart", which resulted in a request to leave the Pies and head to Sydney.
"It was a shock," Adams said on The Unlaced Podcast.
"I was pretty disappointed by the feedback and the transparency I got from Collingwood throughout the year.
"There was a bit of misalignment from coach to coach and what I was getting told.
"And I sort of got played out of position where I wasn't playing that well and then you start thinking about, 'I'm out of contract at the end of 2024, are they phasing me out?'"
This led to the meeting with Swans Coach John Longmire being set up for the Wednesday before the 2023 Grand Final.
"I was transparent with John (Longmire) and said, 'my preferred move is to not move (from Collingwood) but I got to make a decision with my head'," Adams said.
"He understood and was fantastic.
“I then met with 'Wrighty' (Wright) and 'Fly' (McRae) on the Thursday and Fly basically said, ‘Nothing is going to really change next year, we think you do a great job in the role that you're playing', and I thought, to be honest, he was blowing wind up my ass,” he conceded.
“As I said before, I had to make a decision with my head and I actually didn't hear from Fly at all again which hurt me. He should've called me and had the hard conversation but I can understand why he didn't as he just won a flag and had a baby and there was a lot going on.
"And I don't have any hard feelings about it."

That all seems fair and reasonable. I think Sydney were concerned about Parker's longevity last year. I think Adams saw himself as a potential replacement but Parker hit good form when he came back from his suspensionSydney recruit Taylor Adams speaks on reason for leaving Collingwood, heartbreak of missing grand final glory

Plus Heeney has gotten fit and has been stunning in the midfield, meaning one less spot there.

Absolutely. His manager did a great job either way

Depends if he wants to be playing senior footy or whether the preference is his pay packet. It'll get harder for him next year to get a game there - they had Mills and Parker unavailable for most of this year. And they'll probably have one of their academy kids pushing through soon too.

""And I sort of got played out of position where I wasn't playing that well"
Well first, he is still playing that position
And when he played half forward with us, I thought it was known he was actually playing quite well. Its what made him play the most he had in years in a season.
He's prob playing worse at HF with the swans than in his time at the pies.
