    Clay us not a great kick on the run IMHO. This is due to his technique. Set shot and stationary kick no worries though.

        I think that's a fair assessment, the shanks that stick in my mind have been on the run; I otherwise agree with Slim that he's deceptively efficient.
        Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

            From what I've seen of Clay he seems to be a very good kick for goal on the run. Many of his goals have come on the run. Not sure on his field kicking on the run though. From what I have seen of Macrae he seems a neat kick typical of left footers although it must be said he lacks distance on his kicks. This will come as he builds core strength.
            But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Always easier to teach someone an inside game first and foremost and then add the outside dash at a later date. Whilst what we watched was ugly for all those years it surely has to bode well when the whips are cracking in a big final in years to come. You never unlearn to go hard and hunt the ball at any cost. Guys like McCrae, Hunter even Bonts will know what needs to happen when the call to lock it up is made. I think of Jordie McMahon and always wonder if he was a product of the restrictions/ role he was asked to play and the coaching and learning received. What if he was asked from day dot to put his head over it? Would he have been a different player?
                Vince Lombardi wouldn't get anything out of McMahon to be honest.
                I think it's harder to coach kids to dare I say it " cracking in", as there instincts in junior footy ( whey they've probably dominated) is to be given the ball.its a bit of a beat up the continual " cracking in " mantra , and some have just continually ran with it . The whole tactical naivety for me with McCartney is overplayed by some to be perfectly honest.
                Obviously as well documented he fell out with everybody
