Goalkicking

Re: Goalkicking

Whatever they are training is not working
Change the training for goal kickking

jack Riewoldt would practice with ear phones on with the crowd noise playing , I recall an interview on what he did to practice his goal kicking
Some of our players completely lack balance when they kick , that is from a set shot and when in motion

JuH has an aweful hook in his action

Bonts tongiht kicked it off the side of his boot in the 3rd quarter

McNeil just fumbles far to often. Maybe he needs to learn Judo or jujitsu to know about balance and be in the moment ?

Josh Daicos goal tonight in the third quarter was a good example of balance

That is what I noticed. He doesn't follow through with a straight leg. For those that can remember that famous pic of EJ kicking the ball and following through that is what JUH should be doing.

Yes b4l you know I know you know how Ted did it.
He also gave lessons as a champion kick and flickpasser.
I followed every word and action. The straight line, balance, hands, drop, strike and follow through.
It served me perfectly. I became a goal kicker and field kicker at pace.
Ted taught me.
Good for golf too.

...Melbourne 15.20 ? Bullsh.t, BAD. You made that up, after last night, there's no way Melbourne could get to 35 scoring shots, let alone 20 of them off-centre.

I think that is the real story. Our all ground defense is a pleasure to watch.

At a guess D Mitchell thinks you are referring to our opponents scores, not ours.

Yeah, I thought it was obvious they are what we kicked

Re: Goalkicking

34 shots for 14 goals. He's playing great but finishing continues to be an issue. Hopefully last week was the outlier and the previous 3 were more the norm.

Interestingly he's had the same number of shots on goal (93) to date this season as he had in 2023. There has been slight improvement of 39.32 (42%) this year vs 35.35 (38%) last year. He really needs to get it above 50% minimum.

Re: Goalkicking

Just imagine if he never missed.
