Toast Pick #35: Welcome to the kennel Marcus Adams

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/2015-11-24/pick-35-marcus-adams

Height: 193cm

Weight: 95kg

Club: West Perth

Bio: Big bodied key defender, with good game sense and aggressive streak. Had a super-impressive year in the WAFL, where he showed an ability to play on all types of forwards. Exceptional speed and power for his size, shows great courage in the air and is a long kick. High scope for improvement in AFL environment and should flourish under Luke Beveridge's tutelage.

Snapshot: Ready made, highly competitive key defender with elite speed and power.

*Will likely play as a key defender but only forward highlights on YouTube. Draft Machine has more of him playing as a defender.

Welcome to the club!

Happy with this pick, he's a pretty athletic tall that can go at both ends.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Built like a brick ***house. Love it.

Mature age (22) and ready to go for R1.

Really rapt

 

[TiAn_]

Called it Nov 3.

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

Remind anyone of Stringer a little? (The second goal seems particularly Jake-ish to me).

Might get an Adams badge

welcome to the club Adams

bargain

 

[doggies ftw]

My favourite. This guys gonna fit in so well in our system.

 

[yebiga]

No more pushing us around
We strong

 

[bontshow]

Glad to get a mature KPD, I think we can really push for top 4 next year now whereas if we only took 18 year olds we could easily have been exposed down back next season

 

[Doggies7]

Big, strong lad, has nice looking skills too and won't surprise me if he is playing round 1 (like our other two early picks funnily enough). Great type of player to develop and the only reason he wasn't drafted earlier in his career was due to tragic circumstances with his brother. Look forward to seeing him dominate at Footscray early on.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Could he be a shot for round 1?

 

[PowerToThePurpl]

Great get guys, I know a lot of the Freo board were praying Adams would at least make it to our second pick, this guy's a gun.

 

[maddog37]

He looks like a big Puopolo.

 

[Igloo]

Big boy. Looks powerful. Who was it in the media that said he had a bit of a dodgy kick? Looks like he has a really good kicking action to me in the video on the club site.

 

[EASTWESTDOGS]

Welcome to the dogs Marcus look forward to seeing you play for this great club Talia who .

 

[womble54]

Anyone actually seen this bloke play? Like the sound of him but anyone with eyes on?

 

[doggies ftw]

Seriously his mix of aggression/elite speed and leap/marking ability is going to be an absolute weapon in our system. That huge boot is a just a bonus. Collins will be wrestling one out with the Hawkins of the world while Adams gets back fast jumps over the top of them smashing them both, takes the grab and unleashes it to the wing.

Sounds like it's more a question of consistently hitting targets.

 

[Zgope1]

looks like Dale Morris on steroids with a bigger kick in his highlights. "A physical handful". Hard not to like that kind of prospect and WA's produced some high quality mature key backs over the years. H Taylor and J Mcgovern i'm looking at you

 

[LukasTheGreat]

That first video is uncannily similar to Stringer.

 

[ossie_21]

Collins will be wrestling one out with the Hawkins of the world while Adams gets back fast jumps over the top of them smashing them both, takes the grab and unleashes it to the wing to Suckling who takes an uncontested mark, takes off & hits Stringer out the back running into an open goal. 3 kicks in 10 seconds for the coast to coast goal

 

[ossie_21]

From now on I vote we just call him Patch.
