Taylor Adams

[pilgrim 122]

Just reported on AFL.com that Taylor Adams has put off contract talks with GWS.

I'd be keen for some vengeance, nicking a player like him.

What do you think? Worth a crack surely.

Not an A grader (at the moment) but, fmd, I'll take any midfielder at the moment!

[What 18,810]

Will be an A grader.

Averaging 21 touches in his 2nd season, and would comfortably be our 2nd besat midfielder behind N Jones.

Huge chance here for the Dees to land a great young midfielder and a legitimate ball magnet

[machine11 142]

why would we get him?

[What 18,810]

why would we get him?

is this a serious question?

[Whispering_Jack 30,123]

He can play, gets the footy and his disposal's good.

Make him an offer he can't refuse.

If he refuses it, somebody else overpays.

[deeflog 679]

why would we get him?

have you been drinking?

[dazzledavey36 54,938]

Yep throw an offer too good to refuse! Tough hard at it midfielder that would add alot to our side. Put watts for a trade option aswell.

[Crackers 67]

PSD...doesn't want to stay at GWS so we can get him with the second pick

[Crackers 67]

Maybe we can offer them a ruck man for him,ni guess it depends what other clubs offer GWS for him as well

[praha 11,240]

But what if Melbourne is the one overpaying? Wouldn't "an offer he can't refuse" technically be more than what others offer?

Definitely one we should try hard to get, as well as Anthony Miles he never gets any game time and is pretty decent ball winner. After watching the Swans dismantle the Crows today I would love for us to go for one of their fringe players such as Bird just to bring that culture that they have. Just an incredible side who are so tough that is exactly what I want the Dees to be one day.

[Red&BlueBlood 61]

Swap Jamar for Adams & a pick.

Done

Luke Parker?

[Dr. Gonzo 24,216]

Luke Parker?

Hardly a fringe player.

[Return to Glory 8,441]

Hardly a fringe player.

Wishful thinking. Cousins son.

[spirit of norm smith 16,457]

Question is "why" come to Melbourne apart from Money or for fringe players to "get a game".

Targets as at 8 June:

- Dylan Shiel (GWS) 3years $$$

- Taylor Adams (GWS) 3years $$$

Fringe:

- Maverick Weller (Suns)

- Liam Anthony (Kangas)

- Mitch Hallahan (Hawks)

- Jarryd Lyons (Crows)

- Aiden Riley (Crows)

- Matthew Jaensch (Crows)

In a heart beat.

We should be offering lots of coin on a front ended contract. I don't care if we pay overs the kid can play and would be in our starting mids.

Given he can walk, I'd encourage that (ie psd), but id also be willing to offer trade bait to secure him. It may help get GWS to push him towards us rather than other suitors.

lol

I'm sure GWS would be happy with that.

Exactly. If nothing else, we can use our salary cap space to put artificial pressure on other club's salary cap space. Eventually, we'll shake a few from the tree.

And yes, if we can grab some quality midfielders, please... please! Do it, any chance we get.

[dazzledavey36 54,938]

Question first is would he want to come to us.

[deanox 9,919]

Question first is would he want to come to us.

For an extra 10k I doubt it but for 100k or more, more than hee would get elsewhere he would have to think strongly about it.

Personally I'd rather us land a player like Adams who will impact next year and still have a 10 year career than a draftee we need to develop who won't help us improve next year.

[titan_uranus 25,019]

From what I've seen he should surely be one of our targets.

[whatwhat say what 22,755]

go get him.

psd #1 (or #2).

make it happen demons.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

No players walk out on their club into the pre-season draft... No quality young talent does anyway.

We nearly need him to though.
