The worst handballers in the AFL

Post: # 1063548Post perfectionist »

If we aren't, the other team must be pretty bad. And yet, we continue to handball badly to someone, anyone, sometimes not even a teammate, when a kick forward to space would be much better. Game plan must be built on actual strengths. Perhaps built on emerging strengths. But our handball is pathetic and has been for many moons, with a few notable exceptions - Robert Harvey, Aaron Hamill, Steven Baker, Lenny Hayes, and in the past Nicky Winmar, Nathan Burke, Tony Lockett and (here's a name from the past) Dean Greig. I have seen no improvement in the vast majority of other players in the last thirty years.

Spot on. This is half the reason we look slow, because players have to jump or stop to receive a handball.

The othe reason is because we have no leg speed to run and not hurry the disposal
