Marcus Adams - 3 year deal!!!

[Remi Moses]

Great news , and it's a bit early on Collins .
Bailey Dale was talked about that way as well. Think we have to be a bit patient with Kieran

[Scorlibo]

Awesome news, Adams has been super impressive so far in his career. He's already playing quality football, but his ceiling looks very high and he'll continue to get better. Massive signing.

I'm very happy with this news. We need a big guy like him down back and swing man capabilities add to his importance to the team.

[Bulldog4life]

Very happy with the 3 years. Marcus shows good signs of a swing man too which can be very effective against certain teams.

[always right]

Great news, that didn't quite make headlines in Radelaide.

Look forward to having my hands over my eyes for the next 3 years!

Kick it Marcus......and kick it long!

Kick it Marcus......and kick it long!

It's written into his contract. All good now.

It struck me that at the same time as Hamling leaving, Adams said he wanted to leave but in light of Hamling going he offered to stay. I tdidn’t inspire confidence in his commitment. Now he has signed for three years, that is seriously good. Good key backmen are hard to find and you gotta love the way Marcus goes about it. He is a real presence just jogging off to his position.

Fantastic news.

Great thing about Adams is his ability to play 100% game time. When he has played as a key defender this year he has never come to the bench.

[LostDoggy]

Great news. 3 years is a real vote of confidence from both parties.

Press Conference:

* Very exciting to re-sign, very lucky to get that opportunity

* Very happy in Melbourne, tough times last year with injury and family not here, but feeling good and happy in Victoria

* It was tough to miss GF, but also very exciting to be apart of so hopefully we have similar success this year

* Few guys that didn't play in GF so desire still there to build, to build a successful environment

* We got pretty good depth & versatility down back, Matty Boyd should be back for Sydney so he'll bring that leadership down back

* Drop games we've liked to have won, but in the games so we have a platform can build off. Besides Saints haven't brought 4 qtrs

* Tame weekend, use opportunity to relax and disengage from footy. Be nice to get a break, few of us have some sore bodies

* It was an impressive debut. As Tim continues to develop, he'll show everyone just how talented he is

He sometimes gets caught out when wrestling one on one but I do love the way he really crashes the packs when spoiling. Has a massive presence which brings the ball to ground for our sweeping defenders.

Adams recognised by AFLCA

Despite playing just 10 games in 2017 Western Bulldogs defender Marcus Adams has finished fifth in AFL Coaches Association Best Young Player Award.

The AFLCA Award is presented in recognition of the player who, based on his performance in his first two seasons of AFL Football, deserves to be acknowledged as the Best Young Player.

Melbourne’s Clayton Oliver won the 2017 award from Geelong’s Sam Menegola, Demon Christian Petraccam Bomber Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti and Adams.

The 24-year-old West Australian arrived at the Bulldogs courtesy of the 35th pick in the 2015 NAB AFL National Draft and has averaged 16 disposals, six marks and three rebound 50s in 21 career games to date.
Adams signed a three year contract extension in May, keeping him at the club until at least the end of the 2020 season.

Adams is a very exciting footballer - his ceiling is huge.

Just need that body to hold up.

That's a very old list of young players - Adams and Tippa are 24, Menegola 25. Should just be called best new player award.

Is there a game limit? None of those guys have played 50 games yet have they?
