It's a slow burn. Bit like Jefferson. Coming from a fair way back. Looking more and more like Petty having to go back and be the future Steve May role.

Digging into the why
Hes a 19yo kpp. Give him a chance.
To be fair it’s almost been 2 years and he has had a good run at it. Most KPP show something by now.
Its a valid question, 0 marks today in a part of the ground that saw plenty of the ball.
Steven May isn’t getting any younger, one double digit possession game wouldn’t hurt.

I just want to see him.stopping his opponent from kicking goals. Is he doing that? I really don't care if Jed Adams is getting 1 possession or 30. If he can stop his opponent from winning the ball, then that's a great start..I haven't been watching him close enough tbh..

Adams could do with some continuity in defence around him . The opposite occurs at Casey . Imo he would benefit from someone with more experience to help organise the defence with him . There is something to work with , although last game the whole defence was under the pump . Time will tell if he makes it or not .

He's improved a ton since last season, thing is, last season he was a mile off VFL level. This season he's gotten ok as a stopper and looks like this is at least his league. If he's going to make it, he's probably at least another year away even if he has as big an improvement in him again.

Doesn't have to be ready at 19, not many key defenders are. Scarlett was having 7 kicked on him by Robbo in 2005 and he's an all time great. Improvement year on year is good

Agree with this. Of he can at least shut down a forward that's good, gives something to build from.

He was what pick 35? Clearly a project player. Not what I would call a list clogger

Yeah, young mids unless they are a Dane Swan, Nathan Jones type who basically become a 7 out of 10 at everything are easy to see at 19 if they are shit, defenders it's bloody hard, even Ben McKay looks shit then goes to Essendon and now he's decent because they are so reliant on what's happening up the field.
Melbourne recruit a player with no plan? It could never happen

I'm not going to put up the article as i think there is a bit of sugar coating with some players .

Might make an excellent last 4 minutes of the game sub replicating our AFL tactics?
Loving how tall that forwardline is as well as having Schache tracing in there also! Sheesh! Jefferson and Kentfield should be the only tall forwards in that team. Let them develop FFS!
