The Collingwood midfielder has been on Sydney’s radar as the Swans look to add to their midfield depth, as was reported on AFL .
com . au last week. On Sunday, it was confirmed that the 30-year-old had formally asked for a trade to the 2022 Grand Finalists.
Adams participated in 23 games this season but was sidelined by an injury during the Magpies’ victory in the Grand Final.
Additionally, he suffered an injury during Collingwood’s 2017 playoff run.
He still has one year left on his contract, so the Swans would have to arrange a trade.
Adams and Brodie Grundy, the former ruckman for the Pies who is also anticipated to join the Swans during the trade period from Melbourne, may be reunited as a result of the move.
Prior to transferring to Collingwood before the 2014 season, Adams was originally selected by Greater Western Sydney.
He has 206 career games played, 175 of which have been for the Pies.
After a disappointing 2023 season, the Swans identified acquiring tough inside midfielders as a top need, according to AFL . com .
au’s Cal Twomey, who was speaking on Continental Tyres AFL Trade Radio last week.
“The Swans have been attempting to strengthen their midfield group.
They have Taylor Adams as a stronger option in the middle of the field, according to Twomey.
“There are other players they have considered at various points. One of them is James Harmes.
There, it’s obvious that Taylor Adams is top-of-mind.
At the conclusion of the Swans’ season, John Longmire did note that overall, over the past ten years, they have built through the draft, and undoubtedly, their academy selections have given them plenty of joy as well.
“However, they rank among the lower clubs in terms of [trade] imports.
They were still lagging behind the top teams and got pummeled by bigger players in the [2022] Grand Final.
“It is obvious that what they require has been identified. “.
