Coaches Comments. 

Adam is our co-captain and a true leader at the club. He is a prodigious kick an incredibly strong mark overhead and an accurate kick for goal. He can and has played a variety of positions well on the field and regularly will be found wandering down from Full Forward to try and get more involved with the game if the balls not getting to him quickly enough.
Adam is a great trainer and encourages his teammates all the time assisting newer players with their skills. He is also involved in coaching the next generation of Sharks players working mainly on their kicking technique and marking skills.
As a committee member for the club he assists with the social organisation, fund raising, and entertaining visiting teams after matches.
This season Adam has also taken up the role of Assistant Coach for the Scottish National side enjoying success in the recent Bute Series win over Wales and victory earlier in the year against the Czech Republic.
With his ability it would be easy for Adam to mark and kick a lot of goals himself in most of the games he plays, however he is an unselfish player and is always trying to bring others into the match by passing to teammates allowing them to have shots at goal, just don’t miss too many as he’ll soon let you know.
