And yep, Shane is looking right at home in that forwardline.
Just keeps getting better and better

Nah. He was made to look better than he really was by players around him. As soon as he went to Carlton, his true value was revealed. West Coast or Freo will end up getting him for basement wages.

Really happy for him to be finding his feet at AFL level and clunking his marks.
IIRC, I said he was a great overhead mark for his size and great second and third efforts and tackling.

Reckon mine is too...
I can see him being that dangerous forward pocket on the 4th to 5 best defender. Once we get our midfield right and better ball movement and add some more class to our forward line he will almost certainly be a huge weapon. So far I'd say we have just two of our 6 pieces up forward long term.

Impossible not to smile when watching McAdam interview. He is such a Halls Creek lad, when he says "a couple of cool drinks" he really shows he is a down to earth indigenous lad
Was a huge game for McAdam, feel like we got the full package tonight. I think his pack marking is amazing to watch but equally exciting was his chasing and second efforts. Typically these exciting marking forwards only run one way but seen him really put in 2nd/3rd efforts with his chasing which create goals. The one which Schoenberg kicked on the goal line was amazing from him.
I've liked him but been a little unsure of his place long term but seeing what he did tonight, feel like he's a lock in his position for a quite a while now. It's so good having these excitement machines up forward, we've been pretty lucky over the years to normally have at least one up forward.

That big mark.... the work he put in to get there was massive.
Also, wouldve loved Scho to leave that one in the square but hes well within his rights !!!

Seems like such a lovely kid, the type of guy you want around the club and very passionate as well.
Excellent pick up.
It did look in danger of sitting up a bit haha

Totally, if I was in the same position I'd have done the same..... Then prepare myself for the abuse from my full forward haha

That was my one query of him at AFL level. Was always going to do the spectacular as it's so natural to him, but could he develop his very poor tank enough to run and chase like he needs to.
We've found our answer.
Considering he's been in the AFL system for such a short period of time he must have really good natural aerobic fitness. He hasn't really looked too gassed after repeat efforts.
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
He definitely looked better than last week, though I do wonder if that's because the Hawks didn't push us as hard as Geelong.
The play in the 4th against the Cats where he put in a big effort to make a goal-saving mark and spent the next 3ish seconds holding up play to get his breath back stands out in this regard.
The two back to back efforts that created Harry Schoenberg's goal-line goal convinced me that Shane is developing into a complete player
Then there was the effort where he crashed a contest that created another goal
He is growing with every game

Watching him at Sturt I can tell you I wasn't sure he had it in him. Looked gassed playing at FF.
He's athletically gifted but the tank needed work.
Yep, he was always chasing his fitness at Sturt and then the step up to AFL. I think he’s the sort of player that will have to commit and prepare 100% in everything to catch up from a late start.
Four weeks ago he wouldn't do that.
Seeing him live at the Saints game he was gassed very quickly.
