Player Watch Shane McAdam

[WetCrow1991]

I meant in terms of eventual value to us, which might not have been clear at the time they were drafted/traded.

For Gore it was very clear at the outset.

 

[1991firstgamer]

Looks a good prospect. Has the attributes that can translate into AFL and is exactly what Pyke wants....speed. Quickest in his draft year and has the same spring as Nic Nat.

A healthy preseason in a professional environment and he could be anything!

Welcome to the club Shane.

All I'm saying is I hope he exceeds expectations

This guys acquisition mitigates the loss of McGovern somewhat if he’s able to reach his full potential. Good leap and quick, he may also give back some of what we lost from Charlie leaving which make no mistake was a big blow.

 

[Stiffy_18]

Welcome Shane!

Prove the nuff nuffs wrong!

 

[Anzacpaul]

So who does he replace to break in to the side? Would've thought our forward line is pretty settled, and with Stengle hopefully coming, along with Fog, is there a place for him? Does he take McGovern's place?

Would LOL if he turns out a better player than Gov.

 

[Vooligan]

Welcome Shane! Look forward to seeing your development.

 

[LiquidCrow]

Welcome to the Crows.

One of us now, hope he can exceed all expectations.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Congratulations Shane McAdam and welcome to the best AFL side you could have gone to.

That's what I thought, watched his clip and thought, have we just replaced McGov?

How’s his tackling and forward pressure? Attacking side of his game looks solid

Mattner's words from a while back...

Double Blues coach and 2012 Sydney premiership player Martin Mattner said McAdam’s combination of skills made him a rare talent.

“He’s a very interesting player because there’s not many like him,” he said.

“He’s good in the air, he’s good on the ground, he’s quick, he chases, he pressures, he can take a mark on the lead.

“He’s got a bit of everything, so that’s probably why he’s so impressive and so different to everyone else playing in the SANFL.”

 

[Danger in Texas]

Very nice pick up this one. Was actually worried GC or Carlton would keep him for themselves

He’ll be a good addition to our forward line, gives us that much needed speed and pressure, especially for someone who is above 180cm. Loads of X factor here

Love the positive approach

 

[FAITH]

rated by some clubs inside 20 is cool.

 

[MRB37]

Seems like a good fit and he seems tight with Mattner, which hopefully helps us get the best out of him.

 

[moses]

Welcome to the club Shane. Certainly looks like an exciting prospect and the club certainly would have asked Mattner his views on picking him up.

 

[Cleric]

Can't have too many Sturt boys at the Crows.

 

[Pugsley]

Good luck Shane. Leave no stone unturned.

 

[JennyTalia]

Good luck Shane. Leave no stone unturned.

And try to get the best out of yourself too!

I'm sure he'll have no trouble doing that.

will come in for mcgovern you'd assume.

not exactly like for like but we aren't going to find another tall that chases and has speed like mcgovern. it's not like jenkins, tex or lynch are providing anything defensively. fogarty is one but doesn't have the stamina yet.

Dunno we need a like for like height wise considering we were playing 4 talls, possibly 5 if Fogarty plays.

 

[azza77]

So who does he replace to break in to the side?

McGovern

 

[Bofuzzy]

Could be short lived if we on trade him, 13 and Carlton's second to St Kilda's for their pick 4.
Can't see it happening but it could be an out of the box Hamish move

Trade period is still going
