Jed Adcock

Fire up, TK!

What about showing the same passion in supporting your own club?

Hypocrite.

Hypocrite.

None more than passionate than me [censored].

[jumbo returns 6,703]

But so many MFC players are exceeding performances like this... once every 2 years.

So Adcock will fit in perfectly then...

[SaberFang 7,151]

Who would you rather as depth, Adcock or McKenzie? Both will cost the same. Who provides more leadership, skill, experience, etc.?

We're hardly a destination club with the ability to get Dangerfield, Treloar, Motlop, etc. All we can do is keep replacing our second-tier players with better ones, until the draftees kick into gear and we finally climb the ladder.

You resort to personal abuse....lowest form of communication from someone who is flustered because they have no recourse to debate.

Jed Adcock is a 30 year old, slow, inconsistent, cooked player - he will take up a spot on our list (if he comes) that could go to enlist another Vanders, or Harmes, or a White.

I want the list to improve too.....but someone who will impact, not gather coin to play for Casey.

[SaberFang 7,151]

It's possible the club hasn't identified another Vanders this draft and, based on our last month, are happier to bring in more experienced players for free at the same time as going to the draft.

Neither.

There's a new feel around our draftees....they're coming along nicely.

[SaberFang 7,151]

We can't magically invent extra draft picks though. All we get is pick 5, 23, 41, 59, 77, etc. Realistically that's only 3 quality draftees when we're looking at 8-10 delistings of our current list.

Where exactly do you propose the better replacements come from? Adcock might only be a 1 year solution to a 5 year problem at our club, but he's still more of a solution than the likes of Terlich and McKenzie.

Says the bloke who refered to an AFL player as rubbish. I'm not suggesting we draft him. I just found your post appalling disrespectful.

I don't believe that 8-10 will go...

Every draft springs a surprise.

I don't mind the principle of bringing in a mature age footballer (like Crossy) but not one that's really, really, cooked, ala Adcock.

The thought of drafting him is rubbish, this thread is rubbish.

I promise to resort to more narrative to satiate your sensibilities.

[MadAsHell 4,209]

Not against taking Adcock, but dependent on if we land a big fish or not. If we get a big fish then it's a yes for me as we'll have less currency to bring in other good foot soldiers.

If there's no big fish to be landed, then we should have enough currency to find better options.

[Gator 17,261]

The Extension has been a fine player, but it would be moronic to recruit him.

And we won't.

[3Dee 1,153]

Did anyone see his four goal game against the Bulldogs on the weekend? He is only 29 (30 next year). Change of scenery and a point to prove.

Lions supporters are furious he didn't get another year. If it's a shallow draft - definitely wouldn't rule out..

I saw half of that game and gee Adcock looked good. Clean hands, good kick, knows where to run to. Has another two years in him looking at that game. Caveats are that the game was very open and attacking, not a typical match and do we have his role covered already as a smaller half forward, midfielder as in Garlett, JKH, Kent, ANB, Brayshaw etc?

Bigger fan of this then Melksham....

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

Adcock and Melksham fill completely different list needs. Why, when two completely different players at different ages and games experience come up to posters say I'd rather 'player x than player y'? How is it that hard to understand?

It's clear we're still short of quality and professional senior leaders. Given that Cross has been moved on, Adcock could be a handy addition for a year or two.

We still need the right senior players to lead the way for this young core group of future stars. Part of developing them to their full potential is to have some really strong personalities on the playing list. Cross has been monumental for Players like Viney, Brayshaw and Petracca in the knowledge his passed on. We need more of it.

If he is our Cross for the next 2-3 years then that is ok. HL certainly won't be.

[Pates 9,625]

Not opposed to getting him, he'll be coming to us for nothing, but we would have to have in mind a clear purpose of why we're getting him. Is he depth? Is he designed to be best 22 for 1-2 years while we develop our younger players? Is he there as leadership coverage?

He played a brilliant game v Bulldogs so he's still got something left in the tank but for both player and club we would need a clear purpose and plan before signing him.

Without knowing too much about him is he quick, medium paced, or slow. He are in desperate need of speed, I think that was one of the reasons we moved Crossy on, so if he is another plodder then it's a no from me.
