Farewell #13 Taylor Adams

[Mugwump]

Yeah his kicking is fine. In cricketing terms, his problem was with shot selection, but that seems to be improving of late. Getting him back and firing is an important part of the puzzle for us.

Great post Mugwump.
I watched the reply again and really appreciated the very genuine emotion on display from the players.

In 2010 GF. (1st) we had a player that with his hardness and never giver in

I talk of Nick Maxwell and there is no doubt he was instrumental in stopping
St Kilda beat us—-his inspiration carried us on to the one we won

You absolutely have to have at least one player who will stop at nothing to let a side beat his side

Taylor Adams is such a player

I have to check how Heater is going. There were suggestions his body is beginning to struggle...

Good one mate !!!

Just watched your reel of hi lites and your pressure at the contest to grunt the ball out was magic to watch

And when in clear space your ability with hand and foot to find a team mate spot on

Lotta detractors you have had but not on that game on Saturday

[Pies2016]

Adams currently leads our clubs midfielder centre clearances at 2.8 per game.
He usually leads our tackle count and he would right up there in pressure acts and one percenters.

Yes, he has faults but it never ceases to amaze me how even in a good season, the same “ supporters “ always find it easier to highlight the negatives before the positives.
He’s simply rolled gold blue collar every time he puts the jumper on.

Adams was huge on Saturday against Brisbane, particularly in the first half. I certainly kept us in the match up til that time.

[the fuzz]

A player who has really lifted in the absence of Treloar.
Could be a big finals player. I hope we find out!

[BazBoy]

Have watched him over the season and his disposal has improved—he himself or tutorage from a member of coaching (or both)

And this achievement without one ounce of loss to his fierce desire and hard nut in fighting

Yes and this guy was early doors touted by some as future captain material and like Maxwell of Old he,d do well

[Invigoration]

And yet Kane Cornes had Beams in the team of the week over him, even though Adams was BOG and Beams' game was riddled with clangers!

[BazBoy]

Kane Cornes said that—-then that’s an example of someone drinking their
own bath water

[BazBoy]

You watch this side next year with Adams and Sier at contests over a season

I was always happy with Tays tough physical and mental approach to AFL footy and yes a bit not with ball use—-that seems to be rectified

I noticed in that highlights clip they called him "Taylor Adams" every single time. There wasn't another Adams playing, was there? For comparison, Langdon was just "Langdon".
