My point is set shot kicks can be better with teaching and practice.
Like golfespecially putting. The mental aspect especially.
A serious business.
Bulkdogs need to teach and practice set shot goal kicking more. Seriously.
Forehead to the kneecap after a straight runin works reliably with practice for starters. Lack of balance of the torso, positive imaging...
Golfers have putting practice routine of shots from a metre, then two metres then three metres...
So our forwards from varying angles from 20m, 35m, 45m...
Drills work!
Loved Macrae's goal!
Players either kick goals or behinds. Points are the culmination of their score. Sorry to be pedantic.

“Frustrating is probably the obvious word. The last few weeks we‘ve kicked way too many points,” Beveridge said post-game.
👎🏼 16 goals 36 points the @westernbulldogs have kicked in the past two rounds (30% accuracy) - and that doesn't include the shots that didn't register a score!
So what is going on❓
👀 Let's have a look at Josh Dunkley's kick from Saturday night (just one of the examples we could have used).
🖐🏻 Grip - we feel his hands are too close and this makes it harder to have full control of the ball and drop.
🏉 Ball Drop - because of the grip, he tilts the ball up and lets go of the ball, which results in no control of the ball. He needs to guide the ball back into his foot.
🦶🏻Connection - poor connection on the ball and foot and has to 'reach' for the ball and lean back, due to not guiding the ball back in.
🏃*!♂️ Momentum & Alignment - stops his momentum and hooks his leg across his body due to reaching for the ball.
So, how to get this right?
✅ Adjusting hand position on the ball will:
- Give more control on the ball
- Allow to guide the ball back into foot
- Help body posture be over the ball
- Keep the body straighter towards goal
- Help momentum move through the ball
= All this results in better accuracy.
Poor goal kicking is causing clubs to lose games of football. Our professional opinion is to get back to the basics, simplify the process and keep everything in line with the target and this will help you kick more goals❗

Thanks for sharing.
His technique is sketchy at the best of times, add fatigue and pressure and it completely fell apart.
Ball drop too high, leaning back too far.
Watch video of Lockett, he almost hunched over the ball drop to ensure maximum guidance.
Another exceptional goal kicker, Akermanis always kicked the ball higher when in close so he followed through correctly.
What are we working on?
For some guys like Dunks, I almost have him guiding it down two handed when within 30.
Dunks is one of the worse shots on goal. Most of the others have no excuse as they are a beautiful kick of the ball.
What I would like to know is goal kicking practice just the players having a ping after main practice or is it under the guidance of the coaches.
If its the first then its not very constructive if its the second are the coaches pointing out flaws and getting them to work on it or are they just watching to make sure they don't muck around and are taking kicking seriously.
There's practice and then there's practice.
This has been a problem for years. I remember people commenting on the lack of pressure being applied on the kicker, set shots taken in practice, people horsing around, not taking it seriously at training.
Matthew Lloyd analysed Naughton's misses and cited lack of momemtum during the kick.
He walks in then stops before he kicks.
Run in boys.
