Adam Blair Over rated

[holman]

I watched the Melb. V Sharks game before watching the Tigers today, could someone tell me what the big deal is about this bloke. If we are going to pay $500,000 a year for this over rated player I am worried about our future, he is not worth $250,000 in my book. I have watched him play every game since we started to show interest, has anybody seen anything special about him?

He would be fantastic in our pack. I see it like this, Galloway, Farah, Fifita, Dwyer, Ellis, Blair. Interchange, Schirnak, Murdock Masala and Heigington. I think it could become a very exciting pack.

I don`t know if he`s over rated, he`s a very good footballer when at his best, but he has been playing very flat so far this season. He`s very hard to handle when he gets deep and runs on to the football at speed.

He is a good player who may enjoy a change of club. I look forward to him leading our young forwards. Also having been Kiwi teammates with Benji he should have a good knowledge of his play.

This. In 2009 he went on a rampage in the back half of the year, getting early ball out the back and carving up down the right edge. He's playing to flat at the moment.

He's top shelf. But I'm not sure if he's quite worth 500k. It'd be great to see him at the Tigers, but its hard to judge whether he is 'worth it' until it becomes clear which players leave to make way for him.

I dont know if he is worth $500k but he would have to be better than both Gibbs and Fulton.

He won't be running onto the ball at speed if he comes to us, that's for sure...

 

[Noa]

ONly defence I can make for Adam atm is he clearly doesnt want to be here. It all stems from taking less money to help the team while far inferior players were getting extra pocket-money.

I think Tigers are the probably the best fit for him and at his best I wouldnt blink offering him 350-400

Reminds me of Pritchard in that he's devastating when he wants to be, but quite often goes missing.

Except he has shown up once or twice in the last 2 years. Blair is a pretty good player but he isn't worth anywhere near 500,000.

 

[Tiger Crazy]

Not worth 500k But he is the best in his position on the market so you will have to pay overs for him . Watched him play in the Monday night game against Bulldogs about 6 weeks ago and he was about the best on ground
