Perhaps the only time you wouldn't with set shot kicking is when you're going into a head wind and need to keep the ball lower.
I'm not a fan of how upright players are in their approach a lot of the time, I think it makes them prone to leaning back. Whilst I'm not a stickler for running in arrow straight, approaches with a bias towards the opposite foot really irk me - a small bias towards the kicking side isn't so much of an issue for me.
Lastly I think a lot of players take too big a run up, but it seems to work for Ben Brown. Momentum at the time of kicking is more important than distance covered. Don't get me started on waving the ball around during the approach!
His long run up is extremely annoying.
I loved watching Barry Hall. He was so well balanced, like a dancer.
I must say for all the hype I am disappointed by Suckling.
Thanks for this article. I am going to watch kicking actions a lot more carefully next week.

Re: Goal Kicking - One for Twodogs
Does that make us third from shots from downtown? We've taken a lot more shots from outside the arc but I'm actually confident in guys like Lloyd and a few others from a long way out.
Rochmond!!!!! heh!
