How Adams finished the season
After taking a little while to get going following off-season surgery on his shoulders, Adams had a fine finish to the season.
From Round 15 to 21, he averaged 21.7 possessions, a figure surpassed only by Ben Cunnington (21.9) and Brent Harvey (26.3) among North Melbourne players.
Unfortunately a knee injury ended his season against Essendon, despite his best efforts to get up for the final round.
