Once again doing well in winning the contested possessions but our inaccuracy is a concern. Port still in there.

Its the most frustrating thing about our list for mine. We have gathered alot of talls in recent years, Roughy, Grant, Cordy, Jones. All of them have some elite marking attributes, but they all have serious flaws with their goalkicking, that really causes me concern going forward as it is the one area that players don't seem to be able to improve through experience or remedial action.
I can't think of any key forwards who having started out with a terrible kicking action were able to become reliable shots over the remainder of their career.

Stewart Lowe was a suspect kick initially but improved as his career took off.

There's one, and even then I'd argue (and I know my best mate who's a Saint's tragic thinks so too) he was still a fairly inconsistent and unreliable goalkicker. Awesome mark, but still very suspect by foot.

What did everyone think of Dickson's Waqar Younis goal? It's swerved unbelievably.

Yep, he had the reverse swing working a beauty didn't he. Fooled his teammates and young Port ruckman Redden who even up til the last second thought it was going through for a point.

Dickson was certainly having a laugh about it to his oppontent Logan afterwards, though Logan didn't want to know about it.

His an exciting player as well as Dickson who I thought was very good today kicking 4 goals. Our kicking at goal still is a concern but we still won comfortably and could of won by more if we had of converted. All in all good day for us.

His repeat efforts are exemplary.

It's excruciating watching .Look away now stuff
Reckon Cordy's the best as a forward option, maybe Panos might get a gig.
Roughy 's a ruckman who can go forward, just looks like Macca's putting out a challenge to see who wants the big forward gig

He admitted that some weeks ago. He said eventually it will settle down as the right player will grab their opportunity.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R12 Western Bulldogs vs Pt Adelaide

It is a real concern as Jones and Cordy both do enough to excite me and then hang my head in my hands. Hopefully they can improve their kicking.

I'm not sure Panos will get a look in now with Cordy and Roughead starting to take marks.

It would be good to see Panos get a game this year to see how he goes at AFL level.

He kicked 4 today and got in the bests for Williamstown, I'd be inclined to play him next week in front of Jones.
