    Re: Bulldog Worst Kicks?

    I don't get triggered as much by bad kicking as I do by fumbling. Clean hands is a very under rated skill.
    Poor kick? Bailey Smith turns it over a lot. Fix that and fix his focus and he has all the weapons needed to become elite. He is still a kid. His future is limitless.

    Weird double handed type ball drop wasn't it? And he'd hold it with both his hands right up high at the pointy end.

    Gardner's first few games were as bad as we've seen, but to his credit he has tidied up his limited disposal.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    If the goalposts were located on the wings, he would have been the most damaging midfielder in the game.

    Power was a neat kick at the junior level because he had time and space, in the seniors though he couldn't get it on his terms as often and he struggled. Still he played 120 senior games so carved out a decent career.

    Mocca Dunstan 30 to 40 possessions a game and all but one or two hit the target.

    Matthew Boyd’s Nathan Buckley tribute act from 2011-2014 nearly made me jump the fence a few times.

    Can’t believe no one has mentioned McComb yet. Or are we just pretending he never happened (I’m down btw).

    Maybe include Scott Wynd , he knew he couldn’t kick at all, so he just handballed.

    Nigel Kellet could get some distance with his kicks but he was shocking off his left foot. Avoid at all costs

    The absolute worst kick I've ever seen. His kicking technique looked like a crab in labour.

    So obviously we had him kick in after the other side kicked a behind. Their forwards would just form a line about 30 metres from the goalmouth and take it in turns to mark his kickins.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    I think over his last 3 years he only kicked the ball once. A Joe the goose from a handball receive in the goalsquare.

    The only player I've seen kick the ball higher than it went longer. And not just once, every time. I sat at ground level at VFL Park one day and his kicks went higher than the light towers.

    By the time they came down nearly every player on the ground would be parked under the ball for the marking contest.

    McComb by a mile which makes it more staggering how he got a contract at the elite level and games to go with it.
