POLICE were called to a rowdy 21st birthday party at the home of a Collingwood boy wonder on the weekend.

The Herald Sun has learned a noise complaint was made to local police after a party at the boy wonder's home in Heath St, Gotham City, stretched into the early hours of Sunday.

It is understood the birthday BASH POW WHACK KAZOOM wrapped up shortly after the complaint was made.

Victoria Police spokesman Senior Constable Adam West said police received a noise complaint about a cave in Heath St, Gotham City, about 5am on Sunday.

The media have an inventory of these 'profile' pieces to cover the lull between The trade period and the draft. Although I do agree, I have seen quite a few Collingwood ones of late.

As for Taylor's self assessment of his lower than average disposal efficiency, I think he is missing the mark if he believes it was primarily to do with decision making. There were many times that his disposal by hand or foot, moreso by foot, just simply missed the target.

That's an area which needs to improve, but he isn't Robinson Crusoe there...

Yes, he is a lousy kick.
Fits in with the recruiting of players with below
standard kicking abilities. See this years batch
( Crisp, Greenwood and Varcoe )
Don't think a kicking specialist will help that much.

He most certainly was not alone in disposal deficiency a few more experienced
had disposal,decision making and ball handling (McCaffer in front of goal then decision to kick to Young at Metrocon) periods
I,m sure people at club know way more about what is needed than me and i would hope
its an area at fore front of planning 2015
The vibes coming from young group are encouraging but they all know its hard work
that will lift us

You were doing well till you included Varcoe: He's a good kick.

True.
He is not a bad kick.
Biased against his lack of pressure.
Coloured my judgement.

Pretty much every Taylor Adams article reads exactly like this. Time to step up, take leadership, so on and so on...

He already stood up in the 2nd half of the season, so much so that he squeezed Luke Ball out of the side and into retirement. He'll be even better next year after his first full pre-season. One of my favourite players.

Discussions on kicking come up regularly and we have post on Llyod wanting
to give goal kicking instruction
Well we have at Peter Dacois Academy two of the best kicks ever to lace up a boot
at Pies --Dacois himself and Barry Price teaching kids
They may be good help to the big kids IMO
