    Jj took over his role pretty much but not as much ducking and weaving but just run as straight and as fast as you can to break the lines.

    Foot injuries are typically impact injuries even when it's just an injured muscle or tendon in the foot. The key thing to relieving foot problems is to cut down on mass so that your body is taking less impact. Adams carries a ton of muscle mass so more weight is coming down on the feet when you're jumping or running.

    I don't think the Suns would have any concerns with him.

    He is their games record holder with 179 GC matches, won their club B&F in 2018 and was runner-up in 2016. He's averaged over 18 disposals in most seasons (reasonable for a small rebounding HBF) and been a pillar of their defence.

    He definitely continued to improve and develop, but was surrounded by muck a lot of the time.

    One of several draft day boasts by the great (greatest ego) Scott Clayton
    "He is the next Andrew Macleod"

    rivalled by the Jarrod Grant "If he isn't the best key position player in the draft I will swim to..."

    Scotty we are still waiting for you to swim!!

    we really should start a movement. Scotty Clayton I think said he would swim to Corio. We should make him do it.

    He was. He could still make it if someone would give him a chance.

    Grant was so broken by BMac that it didn't matter how many opportunities he got in 2015 and at the Gold Coast he couldn't survive the rigours of AFL.

    Josh has got himself into a bit of a pickle...

    Former AFL player reportedly admits to baby love-triangle snub

    Former AFL player Josh Hill has reportedly admitted he has become involved in a baby love-triangle drama with two women.

    The 31-year-old former West Coast and Western Bulldogs star this month celebrated the births of two children to different women in Melbourne and Perth.

    Hill, however, has only publicly celebrated one of his new children, posting glowing images on Facebook of him holding his new daughter with fiance Jo Duffy on August 8.

    Publicly, however, Hill is yet to post any images of him with his other new daughter with former girlfriend Kara Wicks.

    Wicks celebrated the birth of her daughter just five days after Hill’s proud Facebook post with the daughter he and Duffy share.

    According to The Daily Mail, Hill has confirmed both children are his.

    However, he has denied claims he and Wicks were in a relationship for around 12 months, saying they only ever had a “casual” relationship.

    “She knew at this point that I was in a relationship and expecting a baby,’ Hill said in the report.

    “It was a mistake having sex with this girl, and I’m spending every day making it up to my partner.

    “It was a casual arrangement, which I stupidly didn’t stop straight away.”

    His claims are disputed by a friend of Wicks’ in the report with the unidentified friend claiming Hill and Wicks even had a long distance relationship following his return to Melbourne.

    Hill says he will “honour his responsibilities” with Wicks and his daughter, who are both in Perth.

    Hill is still based in Melbourne with Duffy, where he coaches the St Albans Saints football club.

    The Eagles great was delisted by club at the end of the 2017 AFL season — forcing him into retirement at the age of 28.

    Hill played 107 games with the Eagles after being traded from the Western Bulldogs, where he earlier played 66 senior games.

    Hill is also the second Cousin of St Kilda star Bradley Hill and Fremantle’s Stephen Hill.
