Anyone know if Taylor Adams has hinted where he'd like to go publicly? or if he is open to coming to Melbourne?

all i have seen is that we have had one chat to him and made a substancial offer, but that was a while ago and not heard alot since.

 

better put some on it then... :)

Caro will know closer to the date. She gets her feeds direct from the AFL. I would be checking her columns.

If Martin goes to GWS it will severely hamper any hope we have of getting Adams you'd think.

Unless we get involved and make it a three way deal.

Martin to GWS

Adams & Pick 18 to Melbourne

Pick 2 to Richmond

We could then use Pick 18 to get Docherty from Brisbane and we walk away with Adams, Docherty & Cross all for the cost of Pick 2!

You can't put Cross into this to make your argument look better, are you in politics?

Cross will have nothing to do with trading pick 2 he is in no way related to your scenario. The question is are Adams and the potential of Docherty worth pick 2?

True Cross himself has nothing to do with Pick 2. But at the end of the trade/free agent period it would read:

Melbourne Gains: Adams, Docherty, Cross

Melbourne Losses: Pick 2

As for are Adams & Docherty worth Pick 2? Personally I think yes, but others may disagree.

Sounds plausible but has Brisbane indicated that they would swap pick 18 for Doherty? [Also wouldn't it be pick 17 since Adelaide are excluded from the first round?]

Gws and Gc both have 1st round compo picks. So Gws' pick would fall at 19

Brisbane would swap Docherty for 18 for sure, because he's not worth it! What's he done to suggest he's worth a top 20 pick?

I like it, only one thing i would change

Martin to GWS

Adams and pick 10 to MFC

Pick 2 to Richmond

GWS will have activated that pick 10 as trade bait, they will be resigned to losing Adams by now, so they will feel they're effectively losing two things they would lose anyway, and gaining a quality player

RIchmond would be thrilled to get anything for Martin imo, given the two front runners for him are 1 and 2 in the draft

and MFC get the player they're after and a very good pick to pass on to the crows maybe with a player and try and prize sloane out of them

Brisbane would swap Docherty for 18 for sure, because he's not worth it! What's he done to suggest he's worth a top 20 pick?

Well he was taken at Pick 12 in the 2011 draft and had injury issues in his first year. Played 13 games this year and showed a bit of talent and would walk into our 22, so I'd suggest Pick 18/19 or wherever it would be is what it would take. Other clubs would trump our 3rd round draft pick.

Brisbane would swap Docherty for 18 for sure, because he's not worth it! What's he done to suggest he's worth a top 20 pick?

Whats he done to suggest he's not? Isn't he two years into a career wher he was injured for the first year?

Good idea, but what concerns me is that Tigers would just take Adams and 10 themselves.

Not if he nominates us as his club of choice.


Which is highly unlikely.

wrong

are you forgetting we have Paul Roos now?

Why wouldn't they just cut out the middle man and Richmond take Adams and a pick? Why do you think they'd feel the need to get us involved just to do us a favour? The only reason would be if Richmond was not interested in Adams which I would highly doubt.

As I said in post 215. If he nominates us as his prefered club. That's why.

It's possible, we would need Adams to declare we are the club he wants to come to and be able to sell pick 2 well to Richmond which wouldn't be hard


It will also come down to dollars offered gentlemen

Richmond is preferential destination

Link?

As I have said on another post, we don't want to start offering overs to any player we are wanting to join our club. Geelong does this beautifully, if someone wants a lot more money they say goodbye, but who would leave them. We need to start a culture of players being happy at the club and players wanting to come here! Paul Roos is the first block in that building. I truly believe he will draw players to the club and we won't have to pay 'overs!' So no to Martin and yes to Adams but not at a ridculous price!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
