Farewell #13 Taylor Adams

[MightyMagpie]

@CollingwoodFC: On Adams: "In 74% game time he had 37d, 7cl + 6t. It was a griding night + Tay is a guy who grinds away + that's exactly what he did."

[Cuthbert Collingwood]

He really put his foot down last night

[think better]

Suspect he will get a week or even a fine - its not as bad as the commentators made out

Not so sure - could be a couple of weeks I think

[What'sinaname]

It was awful, a genuine dog of an act that no footballer should do. Whether he plays for us or not. That sort of shit shouldn't happen. No excuses for dropping your knees into an opponents head.

3 down to 2, unless it's referred straight to the tribunal

was about 30 cms above his foot!

Speaking as a Collingwood supporter, present at the game, it was bloody embarrassing. Adams was booed by the crowd from there on, though not as much was would have been the case had the offender been a Port player at a Collingwood home game.

[Pies4shaw]

Good stuff. Should be more of it. Hawthorn do it at just about every ball-up.

Another top game by Adams. Given he is 8 years younger than Shaw and reaching his peak in the next few years we have done real well picking him up.

Clearly he stands up in the biggest games. The commentators were keen to show the incident as much as possible last night. It was not the knee that left the power player reeling but rather a little rabbit punch to the head. I like his aggression and it is what the Hawks do all the time - - sure he crossed the line and will go for a week maybe two, but I like the boy

We will need Greenwwod to come in and fill the large void if Adams is suspended. That goal from the boundary in crunch time was brilliant!

I love your karma!

[Skids]

Never have I seen an incident replayed so many times. Must have been 10 times at least?!

[Pies4shaw]

Complete over-reaction - the Port slug should be cited for simulation.

[swoop42]

He'll cop his punishment but I like that we have a player prepared to step over the line sometimes when pushed.

Has worked for Hawthorn.

[HAL]

That question has never crossed my mind before.

How do you know his intention was to drop his knees into his opponent's head? He was being held down on the ground. Couldn't get up. He can't use his arms because the other guy is holding onto him, so he uses his knees to break the guy's hold on him and accidentally hits his head. That's the way I saw it.

Great game by Adams but marred to some extent by his actions that will I suspect result in some form of suspension. I must admit that I cannot recall him reacting in this way in the past. Whilst it does not excuse his actions I would suspect that something upset him along the way.
