He's done well to carve out 250 games - that's quite an effort, even if much of them has been with a struggling club.

Re: Following our ex's...................

Was a terrific performer in our 2008,09,10 finals campaigns and I was so disappointed to lose him. For me, he undoubtedly played his best football at the kennel through 2009 & 2010 - and whilst being a solid performer at the Suns - never quite reached the heights of his last two seasons with us again.

And not to be 'kicking' him, because I like Harbrow - but he had a 57% winning strike rate at the dogs (40 from 70), and went up North to win only 26% of the time (47 from 179) at the Suns.

Agree with this but his best footy has to be a symptom of playing with a good side. He's never really had that at GC.

Had he stayed with us (and reached 250), he would have been widely recognised as a good player. Unfortunately for him (and maybe even us), it's not really the case now.

I think I've forgotten how good he was for us - sort of assumed he improved at the Suns. In 2010 he had 499 disposals and 8 Brownlow votes - both career highs.

I was also disappointed that he left us but I was also surprised that from a supporters perspective he sort of went with our blessings
but we were very harsh on Ward when he left us.

I know there was a view that Harbrow was 'going home' but from memory the family was in Cairns and he wasn't interested in going to Brisbane.

Good luck to him though, 250 games is a great achievement

Re: Following our ex's...................

I remember one of the Rocket prelims, might have been 2008 v Cats he was outstanding might've even snagged a couple of goals that night. (I've erased most of it from memory).
I was sad to see him go at the time, good to see he's made a decent career for himself.

Not me, because I knew his father's side was from Mooroopna - my mother-in-law knows his grandfather on that side of the family, plus Cairns is such a long way from Brisbane - so family reasons was rubbish. I knew he was going for the cash and lifestyle I guess. We should have stitched him up early, like we should have Ward.

Anyway, all past history, good luck to him in his 250th

Re: Following our ex's...................

If my memory serves me correct I felt he had a tendency to spray the ball a fair bit. Although like the fact he took game on. Good luck Cameron in your 250th.

Players have such relatively short careers I suppose we should not criticize them for trying to earn as much as they can.

On other hand that's why we love loyal players like Wally And Libba.

Yeah his kicking wasn't brilliant

Is that a nickname I'm not aware of?

Re: Following our ex's...................

Jj took over his role pretty much but not as much ducking and weaving but just run as straight and as fast as you can to break the lines.

Re: Following our ex's...................

Foot injuries seem to be one area that the medicos struggle to solve. It's not a good sign for him this has lingered over 4 years now.

Foot injuries are typically impact injuries even when it's just an injured muscle or tendon in the foot. The key thing to relieving foot problems is to cut down on mass so that your body is taking less impact. Adams carries a ton of muscle mass so more weight is coming down on the feet when you're jumping or running.

I don't think the Suns would have any concerns with him.

He is their games record holder with 179 GC matches, won their club B&F in 2018 and was runner-up in 2016. He's averaged over 18 disposals in most seasons (reasonable for a small rebounding HBF) and been a pillar of their defence.

He definitely continued to improve and develop, but was surrounded by muck a lot of the time.

Re: Following our ex's...................

Thx Axeman.

Ha ha-brain fade on my part. I must have been thinking Cam Faulkner!! (Remember him? Was likened to Andrew McLeod when recruited by us).

Good luck Jarrod on your 250th!!
