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 ...

‘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

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.

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

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
