Leigh Adams

[GarnerSmash]

What a freakin gem. Backed up from last week and uses the ball so well and the fact that he would be considered at the tail end of our 'best 22' shows just how well we are going.

 

[The Zebra]

yeah, I thought he was on his way out a couple of weeks ago. First half was awesome. Died out in the 2nd, but defintiely turned a corner in the last 3 weeks

 

[Brad Roo]

The architect of our first half today. Will be a gun.

 

[telemark]

First half was brilliant. Tough, skillfull, & did the brave things with smothers & tackles. Never saw a heap in him before the last few games & it has been an awesome wake-up

Also great that he is becoming one of a number of very tough midfielders. Swallow, Adams, Ziebell... fierce tacklers with skill as well.

 

[NiceCunnington]

Gun.

New PB with 23 disposals, 100% disposal efficiency.

Just needs a good run with injury.

 

[NewGameNewEra]

Gee, and he looks so much bigger than he did in his debut in 08.

Kid will be a gun. Another great pickup....

 

[NMB 2008]

He always seems to make the right decision.

And he is hard at it. In fact we were harder than them in general.

 

[Mordecai]

Malcolm Blight - "now that's a footballer".

 

[Dan]

Good on ya Patch...keep up the good work

Go Roos!

 

[blackshadow]

Another great game from Patch. His developing into a classy and damaging player.

 

[Cunnington ftw]

Going well

 

[NMFC ALWAYS]

Probably my favourite story so far for the year , i counted him out 18 months ago and questioned why so many here had him as a player of the future . Doesn't panic , doesn't make mistakes and is probably the best kick in the team along with Wellsy .

He's got a lot more penetration on his kick this year. He bombed it long into our forwardline at one stage and I think it might have travelled 70 metres. Watched the replay last night and the comentators didn't even mention it. Christ! When Melbourne aren't winning the footy they're silent.

 

[silkykanga]

I said last year he was a similiar type player to Ablett. Same body type, a good kick and good decision maker, hard to tackle! Will be a gun and he is starting to have a real impact on games of footy! I still see him in the near future being the player that can turn the game for us, yes more than Wells and Harvey etc.

 

[X-Gen]

Jeeze he was good again wasn't he. I know it's a big call, but this guy must be our second best kick under pressure (behind Wells perhaps). 100% Efficiency. At one point (it may have been that big bomb) I saw several players open (which Adams ignored) and was convinced he had just delivered a "Simmo" helecopter into the forward line. Yet it dropped neatly to the advantage of one of our fowards inside 50 - just magic.

I also noted how terrible Aaron Edwards passing was on the day!

 

[r_boy]

Going very well at the moment for sure. I see him ultimately in our best 18-22 but one that I want around for a long time.

 

[Devil Fish]

23 touches yesterday - 100% effectiveness. That's what I'm talikng about - seems to use the ball very well & is very constructive - something we have been missing for a long time. Hopefully 2010 is a year of consolidation for The Family & he becomes an integral part of the side.
Why did Laidley think Sam Power > Leigh Adams? That's what I'd like to know!!!!

very very good player

 

[year of the roo]

Surprised he wasn't getting more votes yesterday, I thought he was just about the architect of us getting well on top of Melbourne. Doesn't waste it, gets plenty of it and does all the hard stuff too. Becoming a favourite of mine.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Is a goalkicker aswell, as is Swallow, Anthony and now Wells. Very handy to have a goalkicking midfield (if St K had one, they's never lose)

 

[NMFC Est 1869]

Been very good past 2 weeks

 

[Gasometer]

That blistering pass in the first Q for that shot on goal was sensational.

He is rapidly becoming my "Stevo of the 90's".

Gaso

 

[Angus1]

His first half was outstanding.

 

[Radical Roo]

The perfect example of 2nd tier mid who can come in and seamlessly replace the prime movers. Adams is someone who does everything asked of him and more, he go beyond the call of duty. Very good attitude, luke power of NM.

 

[roosRool]

Gun.

New PB with 23 disposals, 100% disposal efficiency.

Just needs a good run with injury.

The Hun had his stats as 100% disposal efficiency with 1 clanger. Is there anything he cannot do? I wonder how he goes on the barbie, or whipping up a nice pav?
