Opinion Conca or Adams?

[UpTheGuts]

Paper today says plenty are right into Adams. Hawks and Dees, in particular.
I wouldn't chase him ridiculously. Agree with someone above who said Sheed will be better (though I doubt he'll be there at our pick

One of Sheed, Kolodjashnij, Freeman, Salem or Bontempelli will be there at our pick, more than likely more than one. All of them would be better than Adams.

you are really turning me off Adams now!!

We have made a bit of a rule to only draft solid Characters to the club. Adams is anything but. Yes, he may be a good footballer (or will be), but the fact is, we can get someone who is equally as good, if not better, in the draft that doesn't have character issues.

I'd argue only Sheed and Salem fit that cateogry with Bontempelli possibly.

I think Freeman will be better than Adams too. Sheed and Salem are a given, Bontempelli will probably be on par with Adams, and is very similar to Brett Deledio.

This is Knightmares summary of Freeman in his Phantom Draft:

Recruited from: Sandringham Dragons
Style: Patrick Dangerfield/Luke Shuey
Player comparison:
Range: 10-30
Profile: Absolute dynamite midfielder and in my view outside of Jack Martin I strongly believe Freeman will become the best midfielder in this draft class. Other than Patrick Dangerfield and Chris Judd no player even compares with what Freeman does in the contest from an explosive standpoint. Freeman as Dangerfield does wins all the contested ball and is an absolute clearance machine but he’s a guy who has that rare combination of inside game and extreme explosiveness with his pace, agility and sidestep all as good as you’ll see. In addition to that explosiveness Freeman has a real hardness to him with the way he attacks the footy and contest. Also features of Freeman’s game is his ability to take grabs overhead and his 1v1 ability. He can push forward and hit the scoreboard in a big way particularly enjoying those finishes on the run streaming into goal or running to the 50 and going long for the goal. As well as this he’s also an excellent field kick to a target with the ability to hit his targets over a variety of distances knowing his limitations but also at the same time doing some big damage. In short this guy has all the tricks and other than Jack Martin is that only other midfielder I see as a genuine game changer. To improve Freeman needs to improve further his hands in close and become more of an inside distributor by hand instead of just jamming into onto his boot in close, so he does need to be more aware of what is around him in traffic in those situations where he can’t just burst away. Additionally he also needs to add more of an outside game so that he can find more easy ball outside the contest to boost his disposal numbers.

This is Knightmares summary of Freeman in his Phantom Draft:

Freeman needs to actually get the ball more to cause some damage. You could argue Adams will be and is better than all of them. He's proved already he can play at the level.

Considering none of the draftees have been drafted, he gets it by default. Adams will be a good player, no doubt, I just think there will be a few players who will end up better than him. Salem, Sheed, Freeman and maybe Bontempelli. I just don't think Adams, personality wise, will fit in at the club. I'm not saying I wouldn't be happy to have him, he will be a great player for whichever club he plays at, but I just think that there will be a better fit for the club in draft, both personality wise and needs wise.
