Toast Welcome to Collingwood - Taylor Adams

[The Leafs]

Not sure why we have to help them pay the wage. They already get enough financial assistance from the AFL. I hope this doesn't affect our chance of bidding for a free agent next year.

These stats still blow me away for a 2nd year player.

@FoxFootyAnalyst: From R6-23, Taylor Adams avgd 22 disp, 9 cont poss & 4 clearances - elite numbers for a 19yo. In high demand for a reason. Ready-made mid.

That's Joel Selwood like (without the ducking).

Shaw to Geelong, oh wait Welcome Mr Adams.

Yeah I just had a look at his stats on Footywire and he gets more of it than I thought he would considering his age/experience.
I actually haven't seen him play much if at all, so I'm just going with the flow in regards to excitement.

OFFICAL Now:



Then why did GWS muck around so long?

I have a feeling both clubs decided they could get better value with other picks if they upgraded them through trading with other clubs. They then went away and nailed their other trades and both being happy with their new draft standings decided a straight swap was enough.after all.

Pretty sure it'll only affect our salary cap next year and we have so much room it's not funny. Good deal and a sweetener that doesn't hurt us long term.

 

[vjknight]

We pay a small part of Shaw's wage for the first 2 years so they can save face and we keep 6 and 10

Probably had more to do with his son reading the posts on here and passing them on.

Does he? He can tell his dad that he's awesome.

Buckley is the master

Yeah he certainly seems more switched on with the needs of modern recruiting than Mick did.
Done very well since he's been in the big seat.

Where is THATSGOLD??!!!

Welcome Taylar!! Awesome young player, Luke Balls heir. Wow we have some serious midfield depth now!! Swan, Pendlebury, Beams, Ball, Sidebottom, Thomas, Adams, Blair and McCaffer. Really really excited for the draft now! Let's hope we pick the right players.

All he has really done is told Dekka exactly what he needed and then let him recruit the best available talent in his own way.

Proper delegation of authority to those qualified to accept it and no equivication about it.

SUCH a difference from what has gone before

Sulking of course

Ball to take the centre bounce packs and Adams the boundary line throw ins and around the ground ball ups?

This would ease the workload for Luke and ease young Taylor into our mix whilst getting real time tutelage from the great man himself.

 

[Old Spice]

Bring in the clowns.

We said at the start we'd get Adams for Shaw rather than some flotsam and jetsam from Geelong or Sydney, White for a 3rd round pick and we've bought in pick 6. Chalk it up for a total vindication of the mighty Pies you wankstains.

 

[DuckToaster]

The beginning of a new era is upon us at pieland.

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

WELCOME TO COLLINGWOOD BEN ADAMS!

 

[peter9789]

We have absolutely smashed this trade period.... just smashed other clubs out of the park. Equivalent to 3 top 10 picks (include Adams) on top of 3 first rounders last year. Wow we wow we

However not to forget we traded out some quality to get this Daisy, Wellers, Shaw are A graders or close to it so we needed to replenish and hopefully this draft with pick 6, and 10 we will do just that as well.

 

[Old Spice]

Also, reckon we have the money in the bank to land Karnezis via PSD if that's what we want.

Really, would rather hang onto it for FA next year and keeping guns that will develop in 2014.
PK is no certainty in my mind to add value to best 22 next year so not keen on spending up on him!
