Chris Grant - Open Mike

Re: Chris Grant - Open Mike

Any one else notice his perfect goal kicking technique?
Shoulders hunched forward towards the target, head down. and maintain the posture while you kick.
Perfect.
He should be teaching these young boofheads how to kick.

Yet he wasn't a reliable set shot?

He was early, then he got the yips, which he even admits were all mental.

Re: Chris Grant - Open Mike

Was a good interview, some of the themes from the AFL HOF acceptance speach were repeated but it was still worth watching.

Funny watching 'the goal' vs Essendon - tremendous snap, especially as he ran from the fence and kicked it right on the boundary line......which makes me wonder....he played on from a good 2 metres outside the boundary off his line.

Should've been play on and OOB. Umps always miss that.

Of course, I'm happy for that one to have slid.

Also funny hearing Bruce squirm over his comment in 98 re. Carey would have kicked it.

Pretty sure that the interpretation is that if you run back into play on a straight line then its play on.

Even when off the line of the mark?

Yep as long as it's a straight line.

I'm in one of those 'are you suuuuure?' moods about this, but then I remember I once though mouth & doubt rhymed. Carry on

The Turtle interview was great

Re: Chris Grant - Open Mike

I'm also pretty sure the straight line play on thing is correct. Of course if you change direction whilst playing on and you are still behind the boundary line it will be a throw in.
