2018 Final Series

Re: 2018 Final Series

I've actually come around to Taylor Adams. I even feel dirty saying it, but he's a good player and seems to have cleaned up his game a bit.

Plus, anyone that slates Greene is a bit ok by me.

Adams is a gun, speaks well and as you say has cleaned up his onfield antics

Re: 2018 Final Series

Apparently Taylor Adams got right into Toby Greene's face on Friday night. Being an ex teammate he knew where the bodies were buried and exactly how to push Greene's buttons. That information needs to be spread around the AFL toot sweet.

Huh? I think you mean last Saturday Arvo.

He hasn't been charged with assault or drunk and disorderly for a little while either, so that's a pretty good effort too.

Interestingly Adams was very strong on DeGoey and his off field issues. Hypocritical to say the least.

Maybe he's grown up? Maybe he's seen the error of his ways?

Spot on. I really hate how we seem to not allow anyone to improve.

No one's stopping them. Perhaps let's establish even a moderate form line before heaping praise on them however.

Re: 2018 Final Series

Are you saying Taylor Adams form line isn't good?

It depends on your threshold I guess.

I don't consider being arrested in the past 3 years particularly impressive behaviour, but that's me. Granted it's been 6 years since he's been arrested for serious assault, but again having never been charged with assault in 30+ years I'm not overly impressed by lasting 6 years without another arrest. Maybe if he gets through the offseason celebration without being arrested again I'll tip my hat to him.

Before we heap praise, yeah of course. Has anyone heaped praise on him. Maybe he's grown up isn't exactly doing that

All Grand Final discussion in this thread. This was us 2 years ago. I hope we can get there again soon.

Re: 2018 Final Series

WC defense holding this team together and I don't know if they can hold it all game. Pies pressure is just far to good up the ground andbthe Eagles just want to get the ball out as quick as possible. Darling always has been fools gold.
