Fixing our ****ing awful goal kicking

[Twodogs]

Listening to Brad Scott he said Ben Brown has 100's of kicks at goal at training every week. Scott over rides the Sports Scientist and lets him kick at goal as long as he wants. He said with every kick he goes through the same routine even at training and he just loves having shots. Maybe our guys need to get to basics and what better to improve their skills. Seems the skill part of football has been left behind.

That's exactly what we need to do. Some guys are worse than others and need real remedial work. I don't know what they have been doing whilst on an AFL list apart from mastering the basics of the game. it's pretty outrageous that some blokes are playing professional football that can't kick properly and nothing has been done about it.

What's this? A footy player who actually WANTS to have a ping?

These days our blokes' faces resemble mine every time we line up for a set shot on a mild angle from 35 out, both before and after.

Silly boy, doesn't he understand that the sports scientists prevent him from practising footy for his own good. He might get a repetitive strain injury or become good at kicking at goal or something.

It's a vital part of the game yet doing a lot of it is discouraged.

Do we need a few of those targets behind the goal that the Melbourne cheer squad use?

Or maybe we could employ this:

I assume this is going to be a popular thread again. Again. Again.

It's just so embarrassing. Unprofessional and embarrassing. For all of the good things that our club has done over the last few years, this is a massive blight on the enjoyment it gives to fans.

It's frustrating watching them get all the difficult bits right and then piss all that work against the wall with kicking skills that 9 year olds would a/ be better at and b/ if by some unbelievable chance a 9 year old was a worse kick than our blokes they would fix it.

And the story continues.

Bont seems more interested in running down the clock, than kicking the goal... Just no routine & no confidence.

[Murphy'sLore]

I don't feel confident when ANY of our players have a set shot EVER any more. Just can't watch it.

Dale 1.2
Jong 0.1 and one that did not make the distance

More points than goals
We won’t be a TOP 8 side if we can’t kick goals

Positive signs with straight kicks ?
Gowers 2
Lipinski 3

This was against a very ordinary side who is now zero wins from 6

God that was bad. Boyd should have kicked 3.

Bontempelli misses were worse.
