Might be the reason he struggled one-on-one at times this season.

Has never been that good one on one IMO. Better when he peels off.

Injury update from Matt Hass

Jed had his hip cleaned up. He’s got some specific strength work and conditioning to do around his hip. He’s overseas right now on a 12-month delayed honeymoon, which has been very well-earned.

With the operation that he had, we’ve decided to leave him home from Arizona. We feel that the best approach with Jed was to keep him under our wing and with our physios here at home so that we can be certain that he’s right to go.

Another Consistent Season

Jed settled into the quarter-back role again this season after finishing equal 4th in last year’s Best and Fairest playing the same role. Jed only missed the one game due to a fractured thumb but his output late in the season may have been impacted by a hip injury that would require post-season surgery. Another consistent season saw Jed finish equal seventh in the Best and Fairest.

Jed has a great ability to not only shut down an opponent but to be able to impose himself on the game and set up many forays into attack with his run off half-back. His leadership would no doubt be valuable in developing young backmen including Golby, Harwood and McKeever.

Despite being a free agent Jed signed a new three year deal during the season which could see him set to play out the rest of his career at the Lions.

Jed will be 27 before the start of next season and should play his 150th in the 2013 season. With a couple of consistent seasons in a row without serious injury Jed will be looking to take his game to the next level in 2013.

Season Highlights:

29 disposals and a goal against Melbourne in Round 1.
28 disposals in the upset win over West Coast in Round 10.
27 disposals in the loss against the Hawks in Round 12.

Happy birthday Jed.

I'll play round 1: Adcock
21 Nov, 2012
Michael Whiting

BRISBANE Lions vice-captain Jed Adcock is still unable to train after off-season hip surgery but is confident he'll be fit by round one next year.

Adcock had the operation in September and said he expected to return in full training by Christmas.

Apart from skipper Jonathan Brown - whose wife Kylie recently gave birth to their second child - Adcock was the only senior player left in Brisbane for the club's two-week altitude training camp taking place in Arizona.

But despite the setback, Adcock said he would be right to go for round one next year.

"The last couple of weeks have come along really quick so hopefully [I'll be in] full training by Christmas which is only a few weeks away," Adcock said.

Jed Adcock has been named Co-captain of the Lions, alongside Jonathan Brown

Link

In 127 years of combined Club history, made up from Fitzroy, the Brisbane Bears, and Brisbane Lions, only 53 players have had the honour of being named ‘Captain’.
Since the 1997 merger, there have been just eight.

Jed Adcock became the latest member of this esteemed group on Wednesday when he was elevated to the official position of Lions’ Co-Captain for 2013 as part of the Club’s new-look on-field leadership structure.

Adcock will share the role with existing Captain Jonathan Brown, who is about to embark on his seventh season at the helm.

Congratulations to Jed. He really deserves this honour!

 

[jackess]

Hard to tell just how good a captain anyone can be until they're given the role but I think over the next 1-2 seasons Jed will become a very good leader for us. Hard to follow on from Voss and Browny but at least he's had good role models.

I think his best quality which he shares with Vossy and Browny would be that he won't accept any less than 110% from any of his team mates and he'll won't accept any substandard efforts.

 

[Grimreepah]

You'd expect him to be the skipper for at least the 2013, 2014 and 2015 seasons. He's served a long apprenticeship, and has already be a fill in captain plenty of times. He is well prepared.

Absolutely. There is also just the right amount of "Junkyard Dog" about Jed, which means that he will be able to lead by example in the area where I really think we need to improve as we move into the next couple of years. The way we scrapped and fought in the last quarter against West Coast when Polks kicked his memorable torp to seal the game needs to become our trademark style and I think Jed Adcock is just the sort of dedicated and honest footballer who can help make this happen, especially with Brownie also at the helm. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that Adcocks appointment is an excellent one. He has the ability to become one of our great Captains in an era when we have been blessed with quality leaders.

Naming Adcock co-captain a 'safe' choice
February 20, 2013
Greg Davis

BRISBANE had the chance to be bold yesterday.

But the Lions took the conservative route and appointed defender Jed Adcock as the club's co-captain alongside superstar Jonathan Brown for this season.

Brown, who was on the selection panel, said Adcock's greater on-field experience got him the nod.

With 141 games since his senior debut in 2004, the 27-year-old's communication skills, toughness and work ethic have won him the respect of the playing group and coaching staff.

Adcock will do a fine job. He is a genuine leader. But he is a safe choice.

 

[mish33]

As a captain to hopefully set up a Premiership tilt, i think he's a good choice, in the mold of Vandenburg for the hawks who they say was the driver for the success they're having now. We still have a long way to go, IMO Jed epitomizes the qualities in a captain that can get us there.

Love his steely demeanour in the announcement video too.

That item is all well and good but considering the Snail attempting a smack down on us it reeks of spite.

Lions must rediscover lost values, says co-captain Jed Adcock
April 24, 2013
Andrew Hamilton

LIONS co-captain Jed Adcock says his side must rediscover their lost values. Adcock said Brisbane cannot let the expected win against Melbourne at the Gabba on Sunday wallpaper over cracks that have derailed their season.

"A win is a win, no matter who the opposition is," Adcock said. "Melbourne played a great final quarter on the weekend (kicking 12 last-term goals to beat GWS). "We are not looking at opposition any more, we have to look at our own backyard."

Adcock said the senior players must take responsibility, starting with adhering to team principles and structures and extending to taking the right attitude into games and leading by example on the field. "It is up to the senior players," he said. "We were hoping it was a one-off, but really we haven't been in very good form at all. The core group, the senior group, isn't in good form and we are the group that needs to lift."

Two days after the 63-point loss to the Roos, Adcock was still scratching his head at what happened at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Adcock’s post-game analysis
April 29, 2013
Sam Lord

Adcock was generally positive about the Lions’ first home win of 2013, but said the focus would now shift on next Sunday’s visit to the SCG.

“Our numbers tell us that we won the areas we focussed on, which is important to us. But there is definitely a lot of room for improvement,” Adcock said.

“We didn't convert all our opportunities in front of goal and also missed a few targets going inside 50, which is something we will work on through the week.”

“We haven't travelled well to Sydney in the past, but it’s a good opportunity for us to put good back-to-back games together.”

 

[Crimso]

Scored one hell of a nice goal, but I can't help but wonder if he's trying too hard to be a good captain & not let it flow naturally from him.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Jed would be the most relieved Lions player on the park when the final siren blew. How about we leave the kick ins to somebody else in future.

IMO, another unimpressive game by the co-captain. Again made some telling errors at times when we needed our leaders to stand up. Can't fault his passion and endeavour though.

 

[Dylan12]

On the bright side, its Jed's 150th against Carlton next week.
