Toast Welcome to Collingwood - Taylor Adams

[Cory]

Hopefully there's a feature on the club site with him in the jumper, I'm guessing there will be soon since he's in Melbourne.

 

[Bay Pie]

Hine is the master.

Great job.

Welcome to Pieland Tay. May you have a long and successful career.

PS. You hate carlton right.............RIGHT!

 

[wicksy]

He will be our Ollie Wines. Great get. Masters win flags. Still think we are a way off but loving the youth that is coming in.

Positivity??? Wat?!

#30 is free. Give it to him.

#30 is free. Give it to him.

I have 13 on my jumper sadly, and i'm sure many others do

We need to give him 13!

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Nah, 13 is Grundy's. Bad luck for every one who plays on him.

 

[Baird]

#30 is free. Give it to him.

did Ben Richmond get delisted?

did Ben Richmond get delisted?

Yes a while ago

 

[jefffff34]

I'd like to see Grundy in #2.

 

[Quicky]

What on earth do you think White was traded for???????

So that Reid could be swung back again

I don't think he was. I think Reid will stay put. White will play the (and I hate the cliche) Leigh Brown role. If we expect White to play a genuine key forward role, well, that is a recruitment doomed to failure. He doesn't fit that role.

I think we will see Keeffe and Brown as our key defenders next year. Against teams that have three talls I think we will see Frost play.

No one who wants a good career at the pies should ever wear 13, it's a cursed number if you look at all the players in the last 25 odd years to wear it.

 

[Wayne Arnold]

Yes, yes, no.

 

[Ketchup]

Is he a better player than JT?
What we really need at the moment are a couple of good back line players to fill Reid, Shaw and Maxwells spots, and give us a bit more depth in the backline. Surprised we haven't traded more heavily with that in mind.
Maybe counting on Toovey, Young and frost coming good.

I don't think we have seen enough of JT to know for sure yet. I would say If I could only pick 1 of them for a game next week I would pick Adams. HOWEVER Josh Thomas really started to show something this year after an injury plagued start to his career. If he can have another full pre season without injury and can get right into it. We are going to have two very very good inside/clearance players on our hands. Josh Thomas's end to the season was seriously good and he started to get the numbers to show why we have stuck and persisted with him all this time.

Reid will kick 50+ goals next year. Combine that with Cloke and we have a power combo that will win games.
White is not that. If he averages 1.5 goals for the year it will be an ok result and Goldsack can do better than that.
Reid stays. His back line days are over. Get over it.

Old theory of attack vs defense. Sure Reid might average 2 goals a game. Good on him. Without him in our backline were conceding an extra 4 goals a game. I agree White is not a suitable recruit for a stay at home 2nd KPF. But Reid is much better to our team down back if we can find a better key forward. He offers way more skills and assets to us in the back half of the field than he does down forward.

10/10 would bang all 3

Grundy in 13 seems fitting. Many young fans would have 13 in their backs, let them keep it!

 

[Hardas]

Not that huge of a call.
Adams is clearly in the top 5 mids in the comp.

This is not an exaggeration.
I fully expect Taylor Adams to win 10 Copelands and 4 Brownlows.

Hang on, Quicky.
If White's been recruited to play the Leigh Brown role, where's Leigh Brown gonna play?

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Very happy to see Adam's a Pie finally!
Sad to see officially Shawry gone, but he will be a Magpie forever and all the best at GWS.

Maybe you could learn to READ posts - I said SWUNG back, not played back - White gives us the option of moving Reid back in case of need.

[Crazy Tails]

Tell it to my heart...

Ha! Got a chuckle out of that.

Be interested to know how many on here would get that reference. I'd say prob only the over 30s.

 

[itwdandy]

Going off the highlight package on Adams from our website it seems we have found a goal kicking midfielder that can kick straight and on the run from on or outside 50m. Something we don't have a lot of!

If he can give us 25-30 goals a season that's a great result.
