All Australian last decade
An impressive u/15 accolade
Before leaving on a baseball escapade
Dreaming of batting 1000 and driving an escalade

But it wasn’t to be, success only mediocre
And his mind turned back to the ochre
Reminded of the club by the Eagles’ recruiters
Offering him a host of football tutors
So Hotline decided to make the transition
From the west coast to West Coast was his decision

Came back and trained with Murray
Keen to get better; he was in a hurry
Pushing each other through a training hell
Ensuring that things did bode well
Both for Muzza and for Corey
Making the field his personal Montessori
For dishing out lessons in football winning
Back down under for a new beginning

Moving to marking from catching
New career already hatching
Hair shaving, baldness braving, coaches be raving
About his football ability, off-field humility, amazing verility
Huge legs getting thinner
Taking the steps to be a winner
Dropping pounds like he’s melting
Wafl clubs he’ll be belting, bruises from his tackles be welting
 
Corey Adamson (born 23 February 1992) is an Australian sportsman. Previously a professional baseball outfielder who played for the Australian national baseball team and in the San Diego Padres minor league system, he retired from baseball in 2014 to pursue an Australian rules football career, signing with the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL). Adamson had previously played underage representative football for Western Australia, being named in the under-15 All-Australian team, before deciding to pursue a career in baseball. He was signed to West Coast's rookie list under the three-year non-registered rule, which allows clubs to recruit players who have not been registered with an AFL-affiliated competition for more than three years. He is the son of Baseball Australia Hall of Fame inductee Tony Adamson.

Interesting, he throws right-handed, but bats left-handed.

Rookie-listed Corey Adamson also suffered a setback earlier in the week, straining a hamstring during a training session, but Tucker said with the Christmas break coming up, he would not miss too much.

“Fortunately for Corey, it was a very minor hamstring on Monday,” Tucker said.

“The expectation is that come the fifth on January, we’ll just have to sign off on a couple of things and then he’ll join the main group.”

I swear our medicos must be paid by the injury.

It's a simple formula really:

Sum([injury*] x [weeks injured**] x [player value***] x [means of injury****]) = Medico salary.

* Multiplied by the number of times the same injury has happened to the player before.
** Weeks where the player is still injured after they were meant to be back are doubled in value.
*** 0 if Priddis, 10 if any other top 22 midfielder, 5 if a best 22 HFF or HBF, 2 if any other best 22 player, 1 otherwise.
**** 1 if during gameplay, 2 if during training (but 5 if the training involved activities with high probability of reinjury, e.g. boxing with an injured hand), 5 if with tennis ball, 8 if with trampoline.

The real challenge is that this means you have to maintain a careful balance between rushing players back (reinjury risk) versus keeping them back too long (underestimating recovery time). Thankfully we have top medicos and in the last few years they've managed to have a healthy mix of the two happening throughout the season.

*Disclaimer: I'm aware that this is a bit of a harsh dig and I actually think that the job is pretty tough, and I also don't mean to make light of injuries either. The last couple of years have been frustrating, but the decisions that have lead to reinjuries can probably be attributed to the coaches and players themselves just as much as the medical staff.
 
Where does the club intend to play him at either halfback or midfield?
