I love Taylor Adams and the way he plays. I also think he is part of the next Collingwood top 4 side.... but I think the post asks a reasonable question. The last few weeks we have looked cleaner, and a little more solid because Taylor�s ambitious kicks have not caught us short. Some of his plays over the last few years can be huge momentum killers for us and it�s good that the current side puts real acid on him to improve in that area. It�s one of the ways that success raises success. I think he comes back in when he�s right, but if he screws up with key transition moves in the next few weeks, then he needs to feel it�s possible to be dropped to the magoos.

When Gavin started he had about 8 mates from the u19s with him and had the likes of Millane to protect him. Cal now has his brother with him training and the likes of the young Dakes who he has known since a kid. Games like the ANZAC clash will help on the big stage. To me he appears a very unselfish player in the future may be a fantastic run with player when he builds a bit more muscle. Fearless is in his DNA. He may be able to release players like Adams to other roles and perhaps allow Pendles or Sidey to spend more time up forward when the likes of Wells and Varcoe are gone and maybe Fasolo has gone home. Greenwoods logical replacement.

Some great observations was wrapped with the kid's effort and commitment to the contest on Friday

On Brown, just like his Dad and Brett Ratten was the same. Spectators are unaware of what these type of players do. They do notice marks and goals but that's about it. That's why 99.9% of spectators are not coaches. Young Brown makes mistakes so does Treloar and he has 100+ games on Brown (i.e. Perspective). The coaches are happy with Brown's game and that is what matters.

^ Agreed, Brown tackles, chases and extracts and covers ground. The odd loopy handball is a small price to pay. He�s part of the reason we�ve improved these past few weeks.

is there room for Adams whom I thought was penciled in for this role?
Brown to me has a general awareness superior to Adams with and without ball in hand as does Aish and Thomas. something coaches will have to consider soon enough

^ Agreed. Adams is also a warrior and a leader. There will be room for both he and Brown, in the end.

Yep and I would have thought Greenwood would be looking over his shoulder more than Adams.

Been watching the VFL.
Gee, Tyler Brown looks and plays like his brother.
Has really good clean and quick hands.
Interesting.

Stoked with Callums game tonight. I'm glad the selectors have stuck with him and keep on playing him in the team. Did some very nice work tonight and rewarded the selectors faith with what was probably his best game for the club. Keep up the good work young fella!

Best performance of his career thus far.

Think he's worth persisting with. Not giving up on him making it long term.
