Must be a mistake

Re: Goalkicking

I still believe goal kicking is all in the head. The guys will practise at training and may slot through 10 out of 10, but come to a match the pressure is on.

We had a bad day . No doubt all goal kickers will be disciplined over the inconsistency we have shown this week.

Interesting, very interesting indeed.

Someone in the gameday thread pointed that out at the time. Not sure who. I presume the gameday thread gets archived as soon as the siren goes, and can't be looked at again.

Anyway... it's either a 1 off or a strange inconsistency.

Re: Goalkicking

It's really bizarre. Surely Marra would feel the difference in his hands before he kicks it. Perhaps it's a sign he was focused on other parts of his routine.

You wonder if it's something our coaches pick up and then address with him.

It's a simple fix and I highly doubt he will make it again. This is why most players could do with a specialist like Matt Lloyd speaking to them about their set shot goal kicking routine and ball drop etc.

Someone very smart picked it up.

Liar. We don't have any of those around here. Especially in the game day thread.

I disliked Lloyd because he always destroyed us, but gee whiz he was such a magnificent kick of the football.

Shame we will never know who...

Re: Goalkicking

Plenty of retired accurate goal kickers we could call on to fix these things .. Fev, Lloyd, Betts, I would even look at Gunston and Hawkins when they retire . I also think it depends what kind of player they are eg for Weightman and Jones I would get Betts but for Jamarra and Naughton I would be getting someone like Lloyd .
That might sound a little strange but if your a full forward you need more training on set shots, a crumber would need someone like Betts for the opportunist angle of holding the ball at different angles on the run.

I also read somewhere that you might be an accurate kick when young but once you start building muscle your body changes to the extent you don’t kick the same. Meaning you have to correct your action to meet your muscle change and as we know it takes a few years to build your body, thus the our kicking action will be changing during that time .

Re: Goalkicking

I just watch JUH kick his 4 goals and I say it was just the once that he had the ball the wrong way I don't think it normal routine.
