Okay - So this could be a silver lining to his Suspension.
Though he played bloody well with the Toe Injury

Adams has got be smart enough not to get caught up in opposition players targeting him now.. getting in his ear and provoking him.. that's his next lesson. But jeez arnt i glad we traded shaw to get him. what makes him great.. when he loses the ball but is not phased by it/doesnt knock his confidence about at all.. he just keeps coming.. doesnt hide.

Pies and the Cats were the two main contenders, but I believe Carlton and Richmond were both making a play for him too.

i think adams's kicking issues can be rectified somewhat.. watching him closely he tends to have problems with his stance and movement when kicking.. it does look like he slows down in the act of kicking and his foot looks like he stubs the turf.. i think they can work on it over the summer.. his running style and pace from hand to foot.

I don't think that they had the opportunity to make offers. They put forward a presentation to Adams and his management to try to lure him, but Adams narrowed it down to Collingwood or Geelong, eventually nominating Collingwood. From memory Geelong were offering either pick 14 or Varcoe for Adams, and we were offering Shaw. The rest is history.

thats pretty stupid of em.. makes no sense to offer pick 14 or varcoe for someone who by memory was the 2nd hard ball get footballer of his age in the league.. with the ability the get plenty of the ball.. a proven young player.. so geelong go and offer gws pick 14.. thats moronic

Geelong's issue was that they had the wrong currency for the trade. Anything they had to offer was either going to be slightly unders or significantly overs. We simply had the good fortune to have a player of Shaw's quality whom we needed to move at the right time, otherwise we may have struggled to come to a deal too.

I think the key is for Adams not to be seen to be dropping the knee into Westhoff's head repeatedly.
Just get the knee down, nestled in a comfortable niche somewhere, like Westhoff's eye socket, and use that to leverage your jumper out of his grubby cheating hands, or indeed your hair out of his clutches.
Once freed, run off at a gallop, win ball and kick spectacular goal to widespread adulation.

And we got Varcoe
its worked out well.. the amt of hrs and days our recruitment team spend on these trades is unbelievable.. it can look like we just go ahead and say.. 'hey just give us varcoe'.. but its far more complex and time consuming than that. I think we actually bluffed brisabane into giving us crisp to be quite honest.. keeping in mind the above.

What Dickheads. They don’t say anything about Mitchell who trys and give the Oppositions best player a Corky every game
I did like Adams going out and doing a story about how all his background and geography suggested Geelong, but he decided to come to Collingwood and hasn't had a moment's regret since.
Nice bit of strategic work on Dangerfield, that.

I hope Westhoff recovers in time and doesn't miss any games due to viscous injuries he sustained from the incredible force of a 10cm knee drop and a bit of pushing, sorry, "face punches". What? He's okay?? He didn't miss any game time either??? Is Westhoff a cyborg of some sort??? Are cyborgs allowed in the AFL?

I merely thanked Thebrownflog for Crisp Greenwood and De Goey and received 3 points
A little precious I thought considering how many times brownflog has stuck his nose in here when not invited or wanted

He was just talking about the kneeing incident and that how he was a bit embarrassed about it and he's keen to make amends to his team mates. He's also been doing some good charity work around the place
and Said that it will be the Moment where he now knows now not to go over the Top
