Opinion Why the Adams Bashing?

[TradeDraft]

Yes his Kicking is just Floaters and he does turn the ball over.

But he at least has a Crack and tries to get the Ball and getting us the Ball Forward.

Here are the Lists who should be dropped before him for just as bad Kicking and Lack of Effort:

• Lumumba
• Toovey
• Blair
• Goldsack
• White
• Swan

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Posted this in the other thread. In simple terms, him continually kicking the ball to the opposition or out of bounds is the major reason people are going crook at him.

We could live with the combination of strengths and weaknesses Adams offers pretty easily if he was played in his best position and we had plenty of skilful users around him. Neither of those things is happening at the moment, so his drawbacks stand out starkly.

There are worse players getting a game for us at the moment and he has more of a future with us than those players. But he's going to be a long term whipping boy unless he improves his disposal drastically because of what we gave up for him and how noticeable his **** ups are.

 

[Optimax]

Because he's the epitome of our problem.

He was brought in under the recommendation from our coach, costing us a favourite son, premiership player and very good (if a quite left of centre) half back.

What we are getting out of him is someone that can win the ball, but burns it by hand and foot that Victoria Police, MFB, and CFA have placed him on the summer watch List for intentionally starting bush fires.

On the others we know what we will get from each one, none of them cost the club a lot to bring in, 5 of the, are premiership players, one is an out form and injured brownlow medallist and the only reason they aren't copping heat in your opinion, is because you are ignoring it to prove a point.

I would say Blair and Goldsack certainly have a crack. I could argue White, Toovey and Lumumba also.

We don't hand out encouragement awards, if your game isn't up to scratch, you are in the firing line to be dropped. Especially for Adams given there are a number of players banging the door down for his spot and he has zero runs on the board.

 

[Pendles!]

I've gotta agree, he makes some poor mistakes at this stage but gee at least he has a crack and his effort and intensity is always up. He's just not a HBF'er, which he's getting forced to play due to our injury list which highlights his poor foot skills.

so we Traded a Champion for Buckley for some Hack that we did not need.

Sack Hine Then as he Just Trades in Super Duds

 

[DAWESOME!!]

I want to see Adams in the team, but jess he needs to improve his use of the ball.

I reckon I'm a better kick then him. Guy is just terrible. He doesn't just miss a target he misses it by 5 metres.

And I agree with Optimaxs post 100% which is a rarity for me as we've had a few disagreements in the past.

So you say Hine and the Club could not Recurit a Good Player if it stands Right In Front of Them.

So Adams De-Listed as Seasons End?

Yes that is precisely what he is saying.

It's pretty clear to me that Hine recruits players who lack pace and disposal bill.

So then we have Complete Idiots at Club who have no idea what they are doing

Adam has actually a Descent Turn of Pace but His Kicking is still a Worry and No wonder when you play a Inside Mid on the Bloody Half Back Flank

why do you always do that? people make themselves pretty clear in their posts, then your retort is asking them what they really mean in some super exaggeration of what they actually said.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

White was better today. Harry is just terrible this year.

Yeah delist him mid week I say.

 

[DaicosianMarvels]

I have really wanted to see him succeed and get game time but he has been hopeless, he has had an awful start at Collingwood. Hopefully he improves and get's good.

I think the Adams bashing is warranted but then again bagging 98% of the list at the moment is also warranted.

We have no speed in our team and barely any outside the team from what I have seen.

Thomas, Adams and Ball can't play in the same side.

I really hope Freeman is as bloody quick as they say he is.

Very Well Said. Adams has not been Great but Majority of the List deserves the same thing

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Hine doesn't just pick random players from the draft. I imagine there are clear directives from the coaches as to the type of player the club wants. I don't think it's fair to blame him for doing the job he's asked to do. Kennedy, Fasolo, Broomhead and Scharenberg are all supposedly good users by foot so I don't see an issue in that regard.

The trading has been shit though.

Well if it Bucks again it’s show how bad of a Coach he is

 

[frizzle]

Play him as an inside mid & not as a defender. Let him feed the ball out to the likes of Pendles & Beams by hand. Work on his kicking in the mean time.

 

[Stazza71]

Sure he has a crack but his disposal is bloody woeful- terrible, terrible kick.
He has some mates too- Toovey, Frost and Lumumba

 

[Jonno94]

Please just play him where he's meant to be played, as an inside mid. Its not that ****ing hard Nathan.
