No. We brought in Mitchell because he offered more of what we needed in clearing the ball to JDG, Daicos etc.

Swans are wanting Adams to do exactly that.. clear the ball to Gulden and Warner.
A big part of me hopes this trade doesn't go through

He and Mitchell rotated from centre to HF, I think they both benefited.
We managed to get one of them through to the GF. It was good list management and it worked out.
I would love to preserve that set up for 2 more years if we can.
More likely McRae slots in and one of TM and TA moves on/retires, or both.

Any chance he stays at Collingwood if the Dees take Pick 23 from Sydney?

Dees won't get 23
I agree to an extent. He did a groin during our QF with geelong in 2022 and we got Titch partly in because of this. We stuck him forward in 2023 and he played the forward roll very well while covering some minutes in the mid.

33 is low for a player of Adams ability.
Swans killing this trade period.

Good deal for both clubs.
Adams will serve Sydney well and Collingwood will upgrade a position that had been a somewhat awkward one to create.

Yeh I think it's fair enough. Good luck to Adams he's given everything to the club z can't begrudge him.
Fact is he is 30 years old , has a history of injuries and is prone to terrible clangers. Sure he will win the hard ball no worries but I'd be shocked if Sydney get more than a year of good footy out of him, the sort of player the end will come fast .
Bit disappointed by the trade but thats the nature of trade week. Maybe we got out of some of Grundys contract but it would probably be reported if thats the case.
I read somewhere that a player can't be paid by three seperate clubs so you'd assume Collingwood are no longer on the hook for Grundy's contract, which makes the Adams deal seem better than it is for you guys.

It's a win for every party
Adams gets to play midfield where he belongs, in a finals side that can win a flag while he's there. He also gets a three-year deal rather than waiting to see what happens after next year.
Sydney get their ready-made midfielder to compliment their very young midfield.
Collingwood offload a bulky salary for a midfielder that had been pinned at half-forward, and get to use the available space on a genuine forward who will cost less per season.

I think pies did okay...
When you consider I was laughed for suggesting Tom Mitchell was worth pick 27 last year. Along with pies fans not wanting him because they have Adams. 12 months is a long time in football.

33 is about right.
Pies looking to get midfield minutes into Macrae.

on the hook for Grundy contract.
Not really
Adams is 30.
On big coin.
Bit of a plodder.
Not even that amazing at clearances. Ranks 55 in the AFL for clearances.
Pies need minutes in Macrae.
Pies just won a GF without him
Think Pies did ok all things considered.
