If you watched the game then you would know it wasn't conducive to intercept marking or racking up possessions as a tall. You would also know that we were getting beaten way worse then the scoreline suggests which also isn't helpful for anyone playing defense.
Maybe you could offer some more insight on how he played and why he isn't tracking well for AFL level?
i.e. defensive positioning, lack of strength, endurance, closing speed, dropped marks, missed spoils, coming off his man at the wrong times, or too focused on his man, undersized.
If your at the game then general positioning off the ball, talk/communication, focus might be good indicators too. Keeping in mind with all of this he is also young and developing.
For what it is worth I am also concerned about life after May and McDonald in particular as we don't have anyone with real size coming through. Both Petty and Turner can go back but are smaller. We know lever is best as 3rd man. Thommo might leave (Petty too).
I don't think we will really know with Adams unless he actually gets a few games at AFL level.

Roy George looking lively. Lots of **** ups all round though

Verrall hits George on the lead but he misses the set shot. Looks like he's trimmed down a bit.

Playing. Missed a handball by 5 metres earlier!

Yze seems to be playing up the ground a bit. Hit a pack at speed and busted through to hit Fullarton on the lead for a goal.

Sparrow showing the difference between VFL and AFL. He looks a million dollars out there.
Straight back in next week. Goody might even get him up for tonight's game

Sparrow has been busy, actually using his size to knock blokes around.
Brown busy too, Verrall looks good and has some forward craft.
Kentfield has great physicality but he moves like a slow 7 footer at VFL level so I think he's a swing and a miss.

That tackle on Gothard was frightening. Gothard spun out of one tackle and lost momentum and Sparrow hit him at full pace.

I guess you never know but I reckon it'd be quite the transformation unless he's recovering from some kind of mobility related injury.

Sparrow on ball. K.Brown and also Sestan getting stints in there too.
Verrall and Fullarton switching between ruck and forward and each have kicked a goal. A very tall team with Bell also selected and Schache in the backline.

Kentfield moves like me the day after legs in the gym. I’m 48 years old.
