Adams is at his best when he keeps it simple and plays to his strengths. He tries to hit kicks that he's simply not capable of way too often and thinks he's Pendles with some of the tricky handballs he attempts.
A man's got to know his limitations.

That's a concern.
Apart from Oleg we didn't have enough genuine leg speed. Maybe we need to utilise Crisp, Beau more or IQ.
I don't think Adams fits the Fly style. They have tried to make it work but I'm not confident when it really counts that we can play both Mitchell and Adams. I would be choosing Mitchell for sure.

Not sure where this Mitchell hate is coming from
Back to his worst by foot. Happy to write it off as a one off as generally his disposal has been good this year.

Yeah I don't understand it either.
He's been one of our best for most of the year and was good again last night.

I think I actually prefer Adams coming off the HFF with Mitchell in the side.
He can play a similar sort of role to what Lipinski is at the moment, and Pat can find form in the VFL.

They talked about Adams and Mitchell on AFL's AAA, and how fly is trying to add all these mids in, even in positions they aren't suited to. Like neither these players are half forwards or flankers.

I think Adams has been good as a half forward this year - but now that Lippa is back to be the half forward that comes up into the midfield, we should stop it - as we're a proper forward down. One of Mitchell or Adams as the sub.

Just listened to that. I agree unfortunately

By playing these pure mids as forwards is you are taking away what they are good at, plus you are reducing a spot for an actual forward.
This is the bevo way to do things. Put so many mids even up forward when they aren't forwards. Lets play players in their natural positions, if you can't fit them in.. then so be it.

Mitchell and Adams have been very good this year, Adams has even shown a bit when forward. The problem is, Adams played his worst game for some time on the weekend, and Mitchell has been below par for several weeks now.

I must admit that I fundamentally hate taylor adams. If I've said anything positive about him in the past, it's only because I've been caught up in the euphoria of a win.
