Seems he's playing on Moore but either way his skills are not good enough at the moment.
Dumb decision by hunter didn't want the pressure on himself
Probably should have added "at the moment".

Damn so we've lost ten players before the season starts, will be hard from here only playing with 30 on the list. Thanks to those who got delisted today by the Dogs BF clan, your service has been appreciated.
People saying Adams is not up to afl standard is an over reaction but on the game his disposal isn't good enough to be in the round one team
Adams will play Rd 1. He was solid today.

Worrying signs but only a pre season game, if you take away or inside run and ball use we are in fact pretty poor.
Still hold my opinion we will go back a little this year

Just because the game itself means nothing doesn't mean there's no cause for concern. If we have senior players on our list failing the most basic of skills like uncontested marks or providing an easy layoff handball/kick, then chances are we're going to have serious problems in games that do matter.
I thought that kick was him taking a shot..

Would be nice to have seen Hunter take it on himself to kick the winning goal there. He was well capable.
I think the point is we were doing some of the things that lost us games last year. These are beginning to look less like aberrations and more like habits.

Every team in this round of NAB games has had the exact same problem.

Cracking game guys, and epic finish. Thought we were done when Stringer was running into goals. Actually, I thought we were done at half time 
Looking forward to playing the dogs in the season proper

Looked to me like he put it to the top of the square surely he can kick the distance from where he was?
I think that's what most are saying.
Other than two over-exuberant handballs earlier in the game I can't think of another time Adams turned the ball over? If you are going to criticize him, it would be because he isn't backing himself. Getting that holding the ball against him shouldn't have eventuated. But he will iron out his deficiencies with more time at this level. Other than that he took some bloody nice marks at the end there.
Where is Stringer's criticism for the miss? Or Bob's for the errant foot of his in the 3rd quarter? Or the midfields for letting the Pies walk through them in the 3rd quarter? There isn't any, because people have given them time to show what they can do. We should be doing the exact same for the kids in the 18-25 spots in our squad.

Sorry don't rate them. About middle of the road 12-8th for mine.

Pies will struggle to make the 8 so if we can't beat them during the season we won't make the 8.
