But really how often is BF correct with these things?

 

Pretty much never.   

Deepthroat007 was always reliable.....

From Tiger71 on BF:

"Ok just got off the phone with my mail and I can clarify my previous post about " Experienced player". Now all of this can change as the trade period has not even started yet but hey, keeps us talking and would love to see how all would feel if this happens.

Adams wants the Tigers. Tigers want Adams. GWS have already begun EARLY discussions letting us know that Adams would prefer us and what we could offer. GWS do not want Adams to declare he wants to go to the tigers as that will harm GWS in other deals/trades with other clubs. Adams has agreed but im sure that will change if we cant get the deal done early.

GWS have ASKED ONLY if we would be open to trade one of our experienced players in Foley,Grigg,Jackson, and Morris mould. Now as to what make up, what picks etc ... WAY to EARLY to call but regardless I bet my nuts ADAMS will be a Tiger next year. If we allow one of our leaders go."

He said the Tigers midfield is harder to break into than Fort Knox and we've locked away more talent than Toddlers and Tiaras 

[the claw]

theres just two uncontracted players who have enough currency to get taylor adams that is if they want to go there. martin, conca are it. martin would definately get the deal done plus some. conca geez im not gws would accept that.

heres a list of current  players who come out of contract this yr as far as i can gather.

those with genuine currency
martin
conca.

hacks and have no currency

mcguane
nahas
derickx

those who have little currency
white ??
dea
batchelor
griffiths
helbig
elton
arnot
ohanlon.

tuck  retired.

we are trying desperately hard to re-sign martin. if they can agree on terms  hes safe and is not up for trade.
not sure what is going on with conca .

the simple truth is we realistically have no chance to get adams or longer or any promising kid by useing uncontracted players as bait.they just dont have any currency.

GWS midfielder Taylor Adams was today having a tour of punt road and a meet and greet with Hardwick.

The 19 year old averaged 23 touches this year and would be a handy replacement should Dustin Martin leave.

Richmond takes aim at Taylor Adams as a possible replacement for Dustin Martin

RICHMOND has zeroed in on homesick Giant Taylor Adams as insurance for a Dustin Martin departure.

The Tigers have joined Collingwood in the race for the hard-nut.

The Magpies were thought to be the frontrunner for Adams, who has indicated he wants to come home to Victoria.

But Richmond have quickly swung into action since Martin’s contractual breakdown this week, hastily arranging an interview with Adams.

Geelong and Melbourne were also keen on the out-of-contract on-baller but it is understood Collingwood and Richmond are Adams’ preferred new homes.

It is understood the Pies have salary cap room to fit Adams after delisting much-loved veterans Alan Didak, Ben Johnson, Andrew Krakouer and Darren Jolly.

Defender Heath Shaw’s future is also uncertain.

If Martin decides to leave Punt Rd, the strong-bodied Adams would help fill the Tigers’ midfield void after two impressive seasons at Greater Western Sydney.

Adams, a first-round draft pick who was dubbed a future AFL captain by one recruiting chief, would also help bolster the Tigers’ leadership stocks.

He turns 20 years old on Friday.

The Giants are interested in Martin and could engage Adams, who has played 31 AFL games, as part of a swap with the Tigers.

Richmond is also yet to agree to terms with out-of-contract midfielder Reece Conca, leaving coach Damien Hardwick with a major midfield headache following their first-round finals loss to Carlton.

Adams, a former Geelong Falcon who was taken at pick 13 in the 2011 national draft, has this season averaged 21 possessions and four clearances a game.

The Giants would be keen to re-sign the 180cm midfielder but would trade for the right deal.

Collingwood, who could lose free agent Dale Thomas, has also spoken with Adams and is intent on landing the clearance machine to help partner superstar ball-winner Scott Pendlebury around the stoppages.

The Pies are slated to have pick 12 in the draft and are set to receive pick 13 as compensation for the potential loss of Thomas to Carlton.

Richmond, which finished one spot higher on the ladder than the Pies, would have the selection immediately following Collingwood’s pick.

Adams’ manager, Winston Rous from Phoenix Management Group, would not comment yesterday.

Collingwood received three first round draft picks last year by off-loading Sharrod Wellingham and Chris Dawes.

I only read of collinshits interest in this kid in the last week 
Its been common knowledge of our interest in Taylor for most of the year, yet we have joined collingshit in the race?  why isnt there an emoticon for pulling its shlong? 

And how the stuff does collingshit always end up with good draft picks for their recycled players?  I bet theyll be able to swap their first pick for him now whilst we will use ours on longer or lycett or even angus graham again

  yep. In fact, the article at the start of this thread is from July and it was well known we were interested even well before then.

Stuffers.

Pretty certain we were looking at drafting him when we picked up Ellis?

[gerkin greg]

yeah and now apparently a pick 12 with 2 years experience is worth the same as a pick 3 once in a generation talent

dusty is worth a #1 + a good player

we could lose him for nothing but on talent he is worth alot.

His poo for brains offsets his talent somewhat, unfortunately.
