Re: Foxtel Cup - Rd 1

Skinner - have now seen him about 5 times and I don't see what all the fuss is about. Looks exciting for sure but doesn't get it. I haven't seen someone kick the ball out on the full as much as he does from such limited possession that he gets. Looking spectacular is not enough.

.

Certainly a hot and cold player.

I've only seen the cold side so far, and i agree with the kicking out on the full. Seems to get lazy on the kicks where he leans back misses the target by quite a distance.

He wasn't getting in the game at all early, as were a number of players with the lack of goals scored, but as others improved he just never got his hands on the ball.

From what i could see on the camera he looked exhausted chasing after people on the big ground.

I think it's less about being lazy and more about being nervous.

I think it's both.
I'm not saying he's lazy as a player or doesn't chase,
rather he has a sloppy soft "lazy" kick from time to time.
He seems to lean backwards and miscue the kick.

It's similar to when players kick off 1 step, i would call that a lazy effort.

I'm sure nerves would have something to do with why he does it as well.

Re: Foxtel Cup - Rd 1

Foxtel Cup returns tonight. West Adelaide vs Western Storm (Yeah, i had to look them up also - TSL)

Sam Durdin is expected to make his return to football for 2014. Could be a glimpse in to our recruiting future with Sam expected to go early, especially being KP size.
