Hard to tell without a definitive camera angle but my first thoughts were that he was taunting Amartey's opponent Keane.

Funnily enough my first impression was that he was holding up the seven fingers to Amartey and saying "is that seven?"

Camera angle doesn't help at all, so who knows?

 

[The King!]

i just hope Adams body holds up

Keane was at the Pies with Adams in '20 & '21.

Suggest some earlier banter might have seen the cocky young All-Ireland GAA star go the low blow, while the Crows were crowing.

If only he'd had something clever enough to put big Joel off his game he might have enjoyed the whole night

That puts some context around it. What a goose Hinge was.

That...actually makes sense.

- the 3rd wheel in his own thread

Ok then my answer is 3.1415926 if we are answering random questions.

Mmmmm, Pi

Taylor Adams- the 3rd wheel in his own thread

Good call

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Tay has been building nicely and had his best game for us yesterday. Love his attack at the ball and he just is the hard nut who perfectly compliments our superstars.

the grundy/adams signings have done so much to accelerate the improvement of our midfield ... their experience, their ability to lead by example, both bring a physicality that has allowed the big three to shine, but i'm sure has also hastened the development of rowbottom and mcinerney in particular
you could argue each of adams' last four games has been his "best" for us ... which emphasises again to the doubters that as a team we're still on an upward trajectory

So true. Makes you wonder why the Pies let go of Adams. He would perfectly compliment the Daicos brothers.

 

[Superstar swan]

Another great game from taylor, but jeez he is challenged in the foot skills department

yet they persisted with sidebottom, who even in a winning c'wood side looks old, slow and done

And Mitchell.

 

[Kiama Chris]

And Mitchell.

Both fitted the way Mcry wanted to play the game better.

 

[caesar88]

I've said this nearly every week now but I just love that he doesn't really seem to have a clearly defined role beyond just being another tough, hard body out there. He just sorta floats around impacting where and when he can. It's a little unusual because he has a big impact without feeling integral to our structure in any way, but I think that's what makes it work.

He just needs to realise he's not Gary Ablett Jr. by foot. There's nothing wrong with going long or passing it off if your foot skills have limitations.

Pretty sure he realises it, more he needs to remember in the moment

Well done I award you the most whingy posts of the year award on bigfooty.


Congratulations you smashed the field

At least Bedders isn't shitting all over everyone and everything to do with the club. Unlike a select few on here who just can't help but sing the praises of virtually every other coach and team, even though those other teams and coaches have, as yet this year, not hit the heights we at least did for a while.

 

[SSwans2011]

His skills hurt us early in games, but he's also one of the only players that actually shows up for the opening bounce and shows desperation across four quarters.

I think he should replace Warner in our opening bounce set-up until we get our shit together. Think a midfield of Rowbottom, Adams and Heeney and Warner to the forward line would improve both our midfield and the forward line. At the very least it would help stem the bleeding in there early. Swap them back around once Warner and the rest of the team has confidence again and we've shown our pressure is up to league-standard.

True but it's fun to stir the legend up

Coming from someone who's just about bagging every player on the list as well as the coach , got a mirror at home
