Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams

[GVGjr]

There was one underneath where we were sitting that I'm pretty sure Dahl ran under because it just kept going. Has a huge hoof which I don't think we saw pre-season

Yep, his kicking during the preseason was nothing to get excited about. Lets hope his efforts yesterday are a sign of things to come.

Yesterday was my first look at him in the flesh. He looks fantastic, tall and very muscular - no question, he is KPB size. Very impressed with the way he played. Positioning against and accountability for his opponent was very good, imo. Ariel work excellent. Running with the ball, excellent, he is mobile with a bit of dash as well. Disposal skills very good, noting in particular he has a real hoof on him which is a great get out of jail free card to have.

Really enjoyed watching him play as well as he did. A first up match up with Pavlich was going to be a challenge. Liked his bump on Pavlich straight after Pavlich's bump on Wood on the boundary. Liked the aggression he showed against the big veteran.

How good was the 50m+ bullet to (I think) Hunter on his own. Exactly what they want him to be doing.

That was sensational. There was a 40 metre option for him too but he saw and was capable of creating the long option which once again broke Freo's line and got us out the back. The value of an extra 10-15 metres on the length of the long ball is very important.

He made a similar klck to Macrae (who dropped a sitter) and in both instances Adams really opened up the ground with precise long kicking. Hopefully this can become a feature of his game.

Wow we have a player in Adams. What a fantastic debut.

Love the interview after the game where Adams says it was the best day of his life - or at least in the top two.

It was great.

Also liked Dunkley's interview, couldn't wipe the smile off either of their faces.

The beauty of Adams is that he can play both ends of the ground too which could be useful in the future.

What a great day for him and the club.
Looked like a kid in a lolly shop in the after match interview.

I really hope Marcus Adams goes on with it. A big, strong, mobile player equipped with good skills and 'presence' brings
a great deal to the team.

So is he 193 really or closer to 190 as some have suggested?

Interesting point, from what I saw on Sunday I would say he is about as tall Pavlich but I could not say he looked taller. Pavlich is listed as 192cm on Footywire. I'll go with he is closer to 193cm than he is to 190cm.

He's listed at 193cm on the club website.
