Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams

His highlights on the website shows at least 6 or 7 good intercept contested marks, and it looks like they're all from the same match. Good strong hands, even when fully extended.
Really happy with him and Collins based on highlights and reviews, not sold on the other two but I haven't followed the draft all that much.

Marcus looks the goods on the highlights reel. Looking forward to him locking horns with Stringer or Crameri in the pre season.

Absolutely pumped with Adams. Been spruiking him since August. Great back story. Big skill set. Ready to go.

Yep, he was right on your radar. I hope he is ready to go because he would provide us with a few options to shuffle some players around.

It's pretty crazy all of a sudden. As our back 6 next year, we can choose from Fletcher, Hamling, Collins, Adams, Roughead, Cordy, Wood, Morris, Murphy, Boyd, Johanissen, Suckling, Biggs, (probably) Adcock, Webb - and it was a perceived weakness.

Looks a big unit, may need to shred a bit of that size for AFL.
I like that he plays like a tall and takes pack marks fully extended.
Also backs his long kicking by finding teammates by kicking over defenders heads.
That is not easy to do and very risky.

Season 2014 and highlights from a game with a 5 goal haul from Marcus. Check the video from the 4 min 50 sec mark for an interview with Marcus by the commentator.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams

Found this tidbit on another forum from a Perth based observer (Fremantle supporter):

If Adams had have attended the draft combine this year he would have finished 1st in the standing vertical jump, 4th in the running vertical jump and 5th in the 20 metre sprint. It is hard to fathom how last year the recruiters could neglect to draft a bloke of his Herculean size, who moves like that and who was right under their noses. On top of that, last year was his first season of footy in 3 seasons after missing 2012 and 2013 due to a severe case of osteitis pubis, so the potential for considerable growth was clearly there.

Fair to say this supporter is fairly upset we took him before the Dockers.

You're probably right but he is regarded as very mobile. His coach wasn't quite convinced playing on taller opponents in the AFL was his go but I'd be surprised if he wasn't up for the challenge.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams

Love the way he kicks the ball and moves around for a guy his size. Has 'tough nut' written all over him. Welcome to the exclusive WWB club or West Western Bulldogs.

At the risk of repeating myself, check the guns in the photo then read his combine results:

Sorry GVG, thought the text covered him. The combine results were really strong. Especially vertical jump and sprints. This covers it a little.

So excited he's a Bulldog. To me, our #1 acquisition.
