We should be all over Taylor Adams.

Nineteen years old, averaging 21 disposals per game for GWS, a phenomenal effort considering their midfield is way less experienced than even ours and he gets zero protection.

Would gladly hand over our 2nd rounder (pick 20?) for him, but GWS would not take that.

Taylor Adams for sure. A similar type to Prestia and with a few pre seasons under his belt is showing what he is capable of

3rd round, 5th round and 1st round(10-20)

I think Adams is most desired, the other two aren't really guys with a huge scope for improvement.

GWS are clearly targeting senior players this coming offseason, i think a player trade is more likely than a draft pick trade.

That's fair, I also forgot they have to cut their list size over the next year or 2. I wonder if they would take a fitzy, Dunn or Davis? Probably ask for gawn, hogan or frawley though won't they. I'd entertain Jordy, jamar, spencer or possibly blease or Strauss.

Sure if they'd come.

I'll prob get blasted for this comment, but I reckon bring shane tuck across for a year.

Can't get a game with the Tigers.

Clearance machine, mature body.

With our forward line next year, clearances and long bombs into the fwd line will be great for us.

Swap Jamar for Adams.

GWS want a senior ruckman, we want midfielders.

Done.

Jamar doesn't upgrade them though, he's an older version of Giles. Big, cumbersome and can break even in the middle. I'm not sure he represents value to GWS. Certainly not the same value as Adams.

They'd probably rather a guy like Stef Martin who could've given them a more complimenting role. And they'll be looking for experience but I still think they'd prefer guys with at least a few years left rather than on their last legs. Pretty much the younger the better

Shhhhhhhhhhh!!! Don't tell them that! The rest of the comp still think Jamar is a gun...

You really think that? He's still worthy as an AFL player because he can compete and nullify most opposition ruckman. Not every club has 2 rucks who can do that hence why Collingwood got Hudson out of retirement. But thats about it.

Just my impression, but I think the rest of the league hasn't quite caught up yet to much he's struggling and still have the perception of him as a very good ruck.

They have Bellchambers in the bag 'stuie', put your money on it if you are a betting man.

Tay Adams is very keen to come back close to Geelong, but we'd have to offer a lot more than Jamar.

I think our 2nd round pick might get it done, but other teams will offer more.

Posted

No contest between the three in the title to this thread. Has to be Adams because he's by far the best of the three and he can play in the middle. Question is what we can offer and it may have to be more than just a player but also a pick.

Posted

Richard Douglas and Luke Shuey

Shuey's an interesting one. Do you know his contract status, tatu?


Posted

I'd be happy to offer our second and fifth round pick, and Jamar for Adams and their 4th round pick.

Tuck has been injured (shoulder) since round 7, on comeback trail now

Horsley = a slow overweight Magner with worse disposal. No thanks.

Offer them Spencer for Taylor! Win-Win!

This should be our "Kennedy/McGlyn" moment where we target midfielders on the verge, but being held back by a team that already has an abundance - Think Geelong, Sydney, Fremantle.

I would suggest we look at Horlin-Smith, Christensen, Bird, Parker, Moribato, Crozier, etc.

It doesn't matter if they are contracted, contracted players get traded as well. Work out what we need e.g. inside midfielders with 3 yrs development who are not getting the opportunity (in the midfield) their form/talent deseves and then chase them hard!

Next to no chance but Christensen and Parker would be nice.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
