West Coast List Manager Craig Vozzo says: "Adam's a really good young man from South Freo. He can play either as a midfielder or as a small to medium back. He's a very disciplined player, very hard at it, and has really good skills, particularly by foot. He's played for Western Australia in the last two carnivals, so he's very well known. We ranked him a fair bit higher than where he was available to us."
AFL.com.au says: Small midfielder/defender who is extremely clean with his ball handling and ball use making good decisions and executing well. Averaged 16 disposals at an impressive 78 per cent for WA at NAB AFL Under 18 level. Brother to Mitch Carter at Carlton.
Carter on joining West Coast: “I’m just so excited to get the opportunity to be at a great club. It’s a long wait all year and then finally to be given the opportunity is great. I can’t wait to be around the boys and the club.”
Carter on his own game: “Obviously I am a small guy, but I will give you hard running, a bit of spread in the midfield and work well with the boys in a team environment. Basically I am just trying to learn and develop my game. I’m still obviously very young and there are a lot of experienced players here. I’m just going to try and feed off them and learn everything I can before I get my chance in the future.”
