I hope I am wrong, and we do need some experience coming in to cover what we are going to lose.  But he screams poor work ethic to me and have heard the same thing about him from within the club too

Adelaide supporters on Big Footy are pretty salty to lose him ...

He literally was holding a beer when we sacked him wasnt he?

‘I hope I am wrong’ 

The clarion call of the overtly negative and unfair.

Im from Adel and the normal fan is very happy to maybe get something for him and see the back of him.

Allow me to be more optimistic.

I am positive we don't need him.

Except that posters have said he is going to Dodoro and that means we will pay them.

McAdam has probably 2 good seasons left, so will not be expensive in trade pick.

Added incentive for him is he can keep his number as Jordon has left the building

And Buddy has left Swans and his number is available to JJ.

Shane McAdam is a like for like replacement for Jake Melksham, he is hard at it, can take a mark and can kick a goal. He fills a hole in our list, he has his supporters and detractors will Shane succeed, I genuinely Hope so. If he fails it hasn’t cost us a lot to find out. Good luck Shane.!!!

Very average.  Can kick goals but is lazy and gives away free kicks.  

He is Fritsch cover and that is it.  And the way he is leaving the crows worries me too, just an average footballer who thinks he is better

Why would you not think this has all been thoroughly discussed and evaluated by the MFC staff? Burgess and the MFC parted on very good terms. If there was a serious problem with McAdam’s attitude, it would have been well and truly flagged by Burgess. Obviously the media will beat-up any actual information around something like this. 
 

As for “thinks he is better” what are you basing that on? 

If we get McAdam as expected, then that should be it for Melk, as we still have Spargo, ANB and Chandler with Woey, Howes and Laurie to come and possibly AMW and Sestan, if they can take the leap.

It would be silly keeping Melk at his age, with his ACL keeping him out for most, if not all of next season.

Rubbish. I’ve literally just finished reading plenty of Crows supporters on Big Footy who are disappointed to see him leave, and frustrated they couldn’t get the best out of him.

The fact he thinks the advice given to him by the coaching staff isn't applicable to him!

Go read the Big Footy thread and find out how wrong you are for yourself.

Is a good reason I never go on Bigfooty

It’s always hard when a player chooses to leave your club it certainly rankles a lot of supporters but also saddens those that wanted him to stay. It’s an emotional issue and we have fresh experience of these feelings.!!


I once knew someone from Adelaide. And if they're still the same as they were when I last saw them back in 2006, I suspect they'd be disappointed to see McAdam go.🤔

I seldom go there either, but I went there specifically to gauge the reaction of Crows supporters. 

They are not all “happy to see the back of him”. A few are. Many are not. 

Average goals per game reads well. He has been described as having pace, good defensive qualities and has an excellent leap and can mark the ball consistently. Kicks the ball straight too.
 

With only 50 games under his belt, he maybe ready to take his game to another level. His age is irrelevant as he was a mature age recruit. Reads very similar to Fritta. We all new Fritta’s ability before he exploded as a forward.
 

Word around the city of churches is they see his abilities and potential too.

Redleg, if Melksham wants to play on next year I reckon we would be mad to not keep him on the list. He is exactly the sort of bloke to have driving his team mates in rehab, is a strong leader both on and off the field, and will create competition for spots in our 22 in the second half of the season. If word re McAdam's willingness to work hard are true then I cannot think of someone better than Melksham to encourage him to make the most if his short career is ideal - the bloke who missed years in his prime due to the Essendon doping program, didn't play in our premiership and did his ACL on the eve of this years finals campaign.

Go walk through the streets of Adelaide and do the same.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
