Geez, it's emo central around here. Anyone need a cuddle?

How'd you get Heater on that meme??
 
I think your opinion may change if you find out why he was dealt with the way he was.

Told Harry his thinking chair was dumb-arsed and called him an over-in touch-with-himself twat?

Please enlighten us.
It's not a state secret is it? He' gone now.

Yep, but still the biggest flaw in his game.
Officially rated as the 2nd best kick at Collingwood now, behind Pendles. If that's his biggest flaw then we have a very flawed football side.

Officially rated how? Currently ranked 20th in the team this year for disposal efficiency. Where is this official kicking ranking you talk about please?

Mitch Duncan is statistically the best kick in the AFL but who is the leader at your club?

... Duncan has racked up 129 kicks this season with a No. 1 kick rating 12.8 per cent above the AFL average. After an injury-interrupted 2015, his outside class has proved the perfect accompaniment for Dangerfield’s inside power.

Champion Data’s measurement takes into account the amount of pressure the kicker is under and the difficulty of the kick. It provides the most accurate gauge of kicking prowess.

COLLINGWOOD

Scott Pendlebury 136 (+11.0%)

Taylor Adams 112 (+6.6%)

Ben Reid 124 (+4.3%)

Thanks. Couldn't open it though. Adams kicking has definitely improved out of sight but he does still miss a lot of what I would call easy kicks which was always what frustrated the most with him (like Cloke). When I played footy I kicked better when I was in a pack, under pressure or forced to kick around the corner. Whenever I was 10m clear and having a run and bounce with no pressure I would shank the kick half the time because I would always have time to think in my stupid brain "don't shank the kick, you've got no excuse and it'll look real bad"... and probably 6 times out of 10 I shanked in that situation. I reckon Adams is a bit the same. Not trying to take any credit away from him though.. but imo he's a midfielder who seems to hit the hard kicks and miss the easy ones quite often which could explain this unexpected stat.

Adams kicking off half back has been fantastic this year. Barely seen him miss a target. His midfield kicking is well above average for inside mids I'd suggest, too.
Check the disposal efficiency out:

And just for the fun of it, Adams 2016 vs Dane Swan's 2010 stats:

TL:DR - Adams is a very good player, and is only 22.
 
Time to drop this guy to the VFL.
Is the worst kick in the AFL bar none.
Couldn't hit a target if his life depended on it.
You're kidding surely? One too many drinks?
