Taylor Adams - Collingwood Magpies



Name: Taylor Adams
Age: 20 years, 1 month
Team:  Collingwood
Position: Midfield
Bye: Round 9

2013 Low: 8 (subbed) 65 (unsubbed)
2013 High: 118
2013 Average: 76.19
2013 Pre-Bye Average: 76.4 (subbed) 86.1 (unsubbed)
2013 Post-Bye Average:  76 (subbed) 83.2 (unsubbed)
2013 Unsubbed Average: 84.77







Fanplanner Price: $407,700

Predicted average: 90 - 95ppg (Provided he avoids the vest)


Verdict: Taylor is coming from a team with an average losing margin of 72 points per game to a team that actually wins games, I expect that fact alone to raise his average up by 10. I'd watch his pre-season very closely but I believe he can avoid the vest enough next year to be a really solid mid priced midfielder.

Nice work mate, he can seriously play and as you say will benefit from the players around him at the Pies. Worth a look depending on his pre season form. He also gave me my first auskick goal ;) haha

A hardball get and effective handball is worth the same in a lowly team as it is in a top team. Scaling barely makes any difference unless the match is close. Some of the best scorers play in bottom teams.

You could argue that he won't get as much midfield time due to Collingwood's strong midfield. It works both ways.

i shouldn't of said that fact alone, also this fact, GWS is ranked 17th for possessions per game while Collingwood is ranked 1st

Therefore he should get more footy, more footy = more points

this guy is a star. pure simple star.

not sure i'll pay what he will cost to start with but sure looking forward to having him at the pies.
