Injuries meant a delayed start to his season and, although he showed his athleticism and his speed at times, he was unable to put it all together consistently. Needs to show much more in 2025 and a key will be his fitness.

Just needs to get his body right, soft tissue injuries only indicates a lack of fitness.

 

If he can get himself ''right'' then we are a much better team especially up forward with his marking ability for his size. 

Turns 30 next year so basically this investment was for three years, and a third of that investment has been an utter failure. Just a terrible, terrible trade so far. Hopefully he can have a good season or two, or better yet, a winning moment in a final, but I won't hold my breath.

Let’s all hope he can kick more than 30 metres next season 

That was shocking haha


Have to pull your finger 👉 out this year Shane.

No questions asked.

Time to repay the faith.

Let's see how he is going during pre-season with interruptions. 

 

If he can finish a pre-season then it indicates he is on 

 

High priced  thirty year old who has tacked together fifty games primarily as a bench man.

It’s a crime if yo ask me.

 

 

 

 


My two fingers have just gone to my two eyes.......

In the least surprising development ever, a player who was lazy, half hearted and injury prone at Adelaide became a lazy, half hearted and injury prone player at Melbourne.

A shocking recruitment decision that we have to live with for another two years. My biggest regret is that we can't make him play in a local league until he gets serious.

Yep shocking business🤮

Like many I watched McAdam closely at VFL level. After some passable early games (vertical leap and mark) he went way backwards in his return stint. No defensive skills and other than his marking he seems to have few other skills (ground skills especially).

Hard to say it but Schache showed more at VFL in his first Demons year.

I'm prepared to be wrong but if so I will be surprised.

Very disappointed with our trading skills when Billings is head and shoulders in front of everyone else


Get yourself right Shane there are only so many opportunities to make it and there are opportunities aplenty in our forward line in ‘25 if you are the man.

Shane McAdam's season actually made me quite angry.

He was horrible! Unfit, slow, lazy, could barely kick 30 metres, kept trying unrealistic attempts to mark the ball.

Overall, a massive disappointment.

Hope he has a big Pre-Season and comes back fit and strong.

Otherwise, it's another trade fail from the Demons list management team.

Pull your finger out Shane!

If there was a hammer emoji I'd have used it because this comment totally nails it. Well said.

Oh, look what I found: 🔨

Age 29 and with 53 games to his name. Bloody hell. We really must have thought we could reform this character.

Now he is effectively a swap with ANB so it looks even worse.


Wow, I thought he was like 24. No idea what they were thinking with that trade. Start from zero next year and please Shane, give us something.

 

I remember reading online so many comments from Adelaide supporters rating him highly and a match winner as a player.  The old disclaimer "once he get's his body right" was thrown around a bit as well and I believe one of the reasons he came across was he was upset with the crows medical/fitness team.

He was very good with forward line pressure in a few games I remember him playing for the crows so I didn't mind us chasing him thinking he would be a good get and add another exciting dimension to our forward line.

There is no doubt he has talent but obviously needs to get significantly fitter, get his explosive power up and hopefully complete a full preseason.

It seems unlikely he'll make an impact however as his body does seem quite brittle so I'd be surprised to see him much this year.  

Not everyone's body can handle the rigour of AFL footy.

Agree 100% with your summation DJ. Some games he even struggled to justify his spot at Casey.

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
