Not under-selling Adams at all. He's a great player, won a bnf, AA and best finals player. But context of my comments were in response to he and De Goey being elite mids, and I said De Goey may be if he does this continuously not just for 6-8 games but Adams is not despite his importance to us and his record suggests that. Gave Jack Steele and Oliver as examples but really can put a number of others ahead of him who have been consistent for longer and still at the top of their games. And if we want to be picky, he's ball use is not up to same level as others either. I know the argument too, that its decision making and he chews too much off.Not so sure about the battered body call, and Adams could well have been in AA contention this year without injury, although that falls in to the realms of speculation. No I’m not saying Adams is better than Steele, but I feel like you’re underselling Adams to support your POV. He’s currently our most important mid imo, and we’re significantly poorer at stoppages when he’s not in the side.
I also fear for his longevity as he's tough and uncompromising but he is beginning to look like a banged up warrior.
