Couldn't agree more shawy - hopefully he comes back at the end of his playing career and plays a role at the club. He'll be welcomed with open arms. |

I can’t believe how quickly it happened. Must have been some talks throughout the year, surely? |

Hard to tell exactly when Mr M but it seems clear that this wasn't a spur of the moment thing - both clubs and player/manager come to terms very quickly. |

Wright's farewell comments tell a story:
Quote: | We understand Taylor’s aspiration to seek opportunity at another club that will provide him with more opportunity. |

It's tolerably clear he'd been informed - and you'd think the message followed promptly after the Club determined that Mitchell was better at Adams' gig. You don't talk about a guy who has played 200-odd games of footy seeking "more opportunity" at another club unless you know and he knows he's only injury back-up. |

Tay approached Sydney before the GF
https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/magpies-stars-pregf-approach-to-rivals-revealed-as-swans-cash-in-on-failed-trade-gamble/news-story/aff301256adf28b71d9529a25491cdb8
But it was a revelation from Sydney list manager Kinnear Beatson that shocked most on Wednesday as he said Adams approached the club “really late in the finals series” about a possible deal.
“The interest (from Taylor Adams) came really late in the finals series – it came between prelim and Grand Final week where he got his injury,” he said on SEN.
“We were then approached by his manager to see if it was something we’d look at.”
Fox Footy’s Jon Ralph said Adams could “see the writing on the wall” after being pushed out of the Pies’ core midfield.
“I think there was a fair element of him saying to his good mate Brodie Grundy, ‘look you’re going to Sydney; I can see what’s going to happen the next couple of years for me, I’d love to go to Sydney as well’,” he said on Trading Day. |

It's a win win for both player and club.
I wish him well, except when we play the Swans. |

i dont really know how he was pushed out of the midfield, these days you need like 6-7 guys run through there in a game of footy... they all have to play in another position or sit on the pine when not in there...
Jordy rests up forward
Nick down back
Pendles down back and forward
it started 12 months ago when they brought Mitchell in i suspect... just like ginni is feeling right now with them potentially getting in Schulz or whatever his name is. |

I didn’t know how to feel about this. Instructing your manager to talk to another club while you’re a senior leader and your club is playing in a GF just seems… off.
Then I watched the video he posted to Insta. It makes sense. I wish him well and we move on.
(Ironically if we land Schultz we’ve actually improved our team as he is a genuine half forward) _________________ http://youtu.be/hvtdbfI1sqQ |

Sorry I don’t like the way he went about it.
A leader at our Club no less, talking to another Club during PF week.
A required player no less, as stated by the Club & he goes off & has talks with another Club.
You cannot claim you bleed black & white & then a week later you’re in another State & wearing another guernsey.
If anyone needs to be looking elsewhere it’s Noble, yet he’s still staying put. _________________ WE WERE ROBBED, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, RIGHT IN FRONT OF MEEE!

Destroying the myths on Pick 33:
1. People he is """"30"""" years old not 31!
2. He was contracted by us still for one more year
3. He was our Vice Captain
4. Culture heart and soul fabric player just like Luke Parker is to Swans
5. He attended 39% centre bounce clearances for the year
6. Swans gave up pick 46 (3rd rounder this year) and second rounder (pick 28 approx) for Grundy despite being pushed out by Dees
We got shanked!!! _________________ I love the Pies, hate Carlscum |

There's something not quite right with the mixed messages - he's approached Sydney during our campaign etc.
Mitchell isn't getting any younger. Who else is playing inside mid? |

He gave everything for our club. He owes us nothing more.
I want him to be with us next year and for him to play in a premiership, but I wish him all the best.
Thanks for your 100% guts and determination in every game in the black and white Taylor. |

Lots of salt here and some acid sadly - pointless giving such people airtime by replying.
Well played Tay and all the best for your future. |

It doesn't particularly concern me that his team contacted Sydney if he was told during that period that his game time next year would be limited and there wouldn't be a contract extension discussion. |

Total agreement here.
Both sides open and straightforward which is a welcome turnaround to our dealings with players in the recent past.
Hopefully this is how we operated going forward. |
