A lot have been bagging him but I reckon he may have won us the game tonight

That was great pressure on Rankin leading up to Robbie's field goal Well done Adam
 
Surely you didnt watch the same game… I made sure i watched him all game and he does sweet fa. Hes nowhere to be seen in the dirty hitups, he was hiding from tackles, the best money melbourne ever made, hes our andy carroll

Thought he was bloody useless tonight. Missed a bag of one on one's and very ineffective with the ball. My patience is very quickly running out with him.
 
I hope every week that Adam will have a blinder… he is participating but just waiting for him to come good,hope it's not to far away.
 
Will have to watch the game again as i thought he played well to-night & he put the pressure on Rankin to drop the ball.
 
Yeah he miss's a ton of tackles doesn't he :S And they take care of him easy, how about when he was dragged back 20m lol.

Donny I was just commenting on his pressure on Rankin forcing him to make a mistake which set up the match winning play

Not many Tigers players did play well tonight Woods ,Farah, Bell and BMM when he was on
 
I thought he did well. Will take time for him to find his feet with the tigers. He'll get better as the season goes on.

He hustled well on D and he was good on that final play.

But geez he doesn't seem to do ANY of the hard yards. None. Zero. Zilch.

He's invisible when we are coming off our line and he hits it up with absolutely no mongrel at all. I am still dissapointed in him. Was expecting a lot more aggression.
 
His work rate is improving in attack, but his got to stop coming out of the line looking for a big shot all the time. Wrap the ball up ffs

That is massive stretch. He may have done well in this instance but overall it was another sub par game tonight from him.

Blair made 65m, BMM did 90 (not including the 80m run). How many minutes did BMM play?

Fulton made 92.

Blair is our worst performing 2nd rower easy
 
I was unimpressed with Blair tonight. Im happy with his defence but I hate seeing him stand out on that edge while Fulton and Ryan make a 100 hit ups.

Blair did some good things at the end, he made 1 good run 2 tackles before the field goal, and another good run late in the game, + the incident you mentioned. But at 14-12 down, we had 3-4 sets on their line and our main 2nd rower was uncited.

If anyone is happy with this or any other performance from adam blair since he has been here they must be easily pleased.
 
i watched him a bit tonight and saw nothing more than he has done all year. i was actually pleased to see him do one good run to the d line.

he needs to start getting better. he is paid the big bucks and as such should by now be doing a lot better than he is.

i keep thinking back to my dads comment about when they signed him "lazy and just hangs out in the backline." my dad is never wrong and i have hoped him to be so with blair, but so far, he just hasnt come to the party. its time he stepped up.
