Playing under fatigue is a whole different scenario. Muscles are tired, cramp is threatening, numbness starting to set in.
When I use to train for Taekwondo tournaments, we would do an hour of conditioning to get fatigue, and then 5 mins of sparring ( match like conditions. which was very high intensity). This was when natural technique would kick in, as the endurance and pain factor would be reaching very high thresholds.
They tend to do goal kicking practice at the end of training sessions to make sure the players have a level of fatigue.

I don?t know whether this is a joke or not. If not, I?d counsel you not to encourage players to look at footy forums, the criticisms of many, particularly those in need of a confidence boost, could be devastating. A timely reminder.

What baffles me with Jamarra is the amount of set shots he absolutely shanks. He has a great kicking action so I don't understand why he kicks so many shockers. Naughton doesn't look pretty but his kicking isn't that bad save for the odd one he sprays from close range.
Apart from him losing his run up in recent weeks, Jamarra's main issue is his stablising (right) leg collapsing. Making him really inconsistent. I really hope he spends the bye week working on it.

Re: Our Accuracy At Goal
I sai d it elsewhere-I reckon Marra waves the ball around too much. Weightman, Grub Greene, Cameron if I recall correctly do not wave it about so much and and it increases accuracy. Marra also ends up with his upper body leaning back after the kick, possibly due to his right leg collapsing (will take a closer look at that - thanks Ozza).
