And who could blame him? He'd just played his part in a hard fought 16-point away-from-home victory in front of a massive tribe of family and friends, so why wouldn't he want to string it out a little.
"There was a big mob down here today so I had a tough week organising tickets, but it was well worth it," Adams said in the rooms after the game. "It was awesome on Thursday morning when Dean called me into his office to say I'd got a game, but I didn't actually realise how much work I had to do to get everyone a ticket."
The former Victorian Under 18 captain said he was "over the moon" with the ideal start to his career with the Kangaroos, and was especially pleased for the guys who had played in all of the Roos' five games this year, including the club's first three losses.
"For me personally, to come in and have a win like that first up is a dream come true. But even better, from a team perspective, it's great to get a win because we worked so hard over the pre-season and those first couple of losses were really tough to take.
"So to get a couple of wins like we've had in the past two weeks have been great reward for the boys."
The gritty midfielder spent a little under three quarters of the game on the ground, picking up 10 possessions, of which six were contested. However what the stats won't tell you is how hard Adams attacked every contest, no small matter when you consider it was just his fourth game in senior company.
"The three games I played in the VFL with Tasmania are the only games I've played in senior footy, so that's been great experience for me. It was good to test myself against the mature bodies before I played for the Kangaroos so I'd say that was a really good grounding.
"But you notice how much of a step up it is to play in the seniors. A few of the boys said during the week that you've just got to get rid of the ball really quickly so I tried to concentrate on doing that.
"That's probably the main difference between here and the VFL – you've just got to move the ball on quickly or you get crunched."
Adams said the advice given to him by his senior teammates proved invaluable in the lead up to his first game, and paid particular tribute to Brent Harvey for spending so much time with him since his arrival at the club.
"After each of my Tassie games I sit down with Boomer and we go through the video of my game together and he gives me some pointers. That's been a great learning experience."Then today, when I was up forward, Shagga (Shannon Grant) was really good out on the ground – actually all the guys in the forward line were great in telling me where to go and helping me concentrate so I was pretty thankful for that."
But as much as studying his game from week to week will remain a big priority for the recently elevated rookie, there is one area of his football he knows he will have to address as soon as possible – knowing all the words to the Kangaroos' team song.
"I must admit I struggled at the start but I was OK once we got to the chorus. But if I can keep my spot I reckon I'll know it pretty well by the end of the year."
