Take that Freo 

They took Hugh Davies at pick 33, who probably has more exposed form and is a bit more of a rebounder and running defender. I reckon Adams clunks his marks with more authority and has that nice left foot boot. Will be interesting to see how they develop.

    JT was just saying he has played key forward. 

     

    Seems to kick long and accurately over mid to long distances, as well. Great ball drop technique already established. Options really do abound. Passes off, nicely, by hand and foot.

    Happy with the pick. We now have Turner, Petty and Adams as the pillars of defense for many future years.

     

    Casey

    B: Adams, Turner, J.Smith

    HB: Rivers, Tomlinson, McVee

    C: Howes, Dunstan, Woewodin

    HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, Melksham

    F: Moniz-Wakefield, Schache, Jefferson

    FOLL: Farris-White, Jordon, Laurie

    IC: D.Smith, N\A, N\A, N\A

    Absolute talent with experience scatted within. The  good vibes are bound to be infectious amongst them and competition or readiness for call-ups are even more healthy.

    Welcome to the Dees Jed Adam’s, to me Adams appears a bit more mature than MJ and he mentioned that he had played ruck/forward as well. Looks like a great pickup  by the recruiters. Feeling much better about the composition of our list now, just like another young ruck then go hard at the mids, flankers next year.

    Adams was most probably a key 'smokey' in the draft. We had a good deal of focus on forwards, but our backs required reinforcement for the immediate and future years. Most teams attempted to emulate our midfield resources whilst JT broadened our focus to end-to-end strengthening, once these two great selections have developed and assimilated with the overall team focus. We might have picked up a couple of genuine 'winners'. Well done, JT.

    What impressed me the most about his highlights was his marking, agility and disposal by hand and foot.

    If he has modelled his game on Steven May then he has almost mastered it at a young age.

    Seeing a few Lever comparisons here, from the looks of it his one one defending is his main strength with an intercepting flavour. Sounds more like May

    Physical and tough tall defender who is aggressive in his approach and on field direction. 

    Actually love this pick because of a future replacement for May.

    Played WAFL league this year so has already played against men.

    If he keeps his body injury free, would not be surprised to see him play a senior game.

    Spot on.  Small sample size watching his highlights, but has Jason Taylor woken up this morning thinking he's won tattslotto?

    How did Adams get passed to Pick 39 will be a story of the future.

    The injury angle just reminds me of Joel Selwood being passed on by 6 clubs because of injury.  Smart Geelong knew better.

    Well done to JT and team.

    Whilst we're in the 'window ' now, the next few years will be fascinating also from watching some real talent develop under the mentoring of a premiership cohort and AA experience.

    Wants to play like Steven May. Born in Kalgoorlie and from Mandurah. Might not be in such a rush to get back to Perth. 

    Interesting article. I wondered how we got a photo of him in the red and blue so quickly, it appears we gave him the wink and nod on Saturday. Clearly targeted by JT.

    The way he runs and elevates for intercept marks does have some similarities to Lever, but I think it’s clear we want him to be an understudy to May.

    Freo supporters are dirty they didn't pick up Adams.

    Reading through their draft thread they wanted him over Hugh Davies who is the WA defender who conceded 7 goals to Matt Jefferson.

    "Melbourne take Jed Adams."

    "Is Adams going to be Naughton mk II?"

    "Adams gone, no one ask me anything draft related I'm too busy crying"

    "The Adams vs Davies discussions are going to be.... fun..."

    This one is my favourite..

    "Worst off season since we [censored] a flag up the ******* wall on Jesse POS Hogan

    Bell Walls and all the other campaigners are deadset coasting."

    "* them off"

    Certainly got a good set of hands and doesn't mind backing himself.

    Intercepts like Lever, Marks like Petty and accurate left foot kick like May.  At pushing 90Kgs could play next year if he shows form.  Great pick up that covers a lot of needs.

    What an absolutely feral bunch

    Jed and the Dees will have the last laugh when ( not if) he finally replaces the great Stephen May as our full back ( or CHB). Wonderful selection with JT written all over it and makes our "battle" with Freo in trade and recruit selection an early success.

    PS Remember FF Matt Jefferson utilised No 13 our pick from the Dogga trade back to Freo.

    So many one-touch marks where he has also met the ball at full stretch and timing.

    That's definitely one of those deep-rooted traits that are very difficult to develop once you're already an adult.

    Good cloth and our defence program seems to be pretty good at tailoring it.

    Par contre, it suggests more humble origins and most importantly a great sense of humour. Love to be a fly on the wall when Jed and Max first get together. Vive le gars différent.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
