Re: who teaches these guys to kick
There were a few bad misses but when your 40m out on the run or kicking from a tight angle thats bound to happen. Not so much when you are having a set shot 10m out dirctly infront.

Our head ducking coach should be sacked!seano1 wrote:Who in the hell is teaching our guys to kick and handball , i know there is pressure out there but we handball to guys feet instead of chest we kick at all angles but seldom straight even when not having a shot at goal our main offenders are cj,gilbert and roo
Every week we have opposition players getting frees for ducking under tackles or headbutting our players in the abdomen.
Why are we not doing the same?
Forget sliding this is mucvh worse in my opinion!
Riewoldt and Goddard to live up to their reputations ,Clarke and Ray to defy theirs in 2012!

Auskick coaches....
By the time players get to the AFL they would have played footy for around Ten years..... It would take them that long to untrained their learnt style, especially under pressure.... They could change a fundamental, but natural rythem is hard to escape...
Decision making is just as important
Like, why did jack Steven kick the ball 6 meters to Nick Dal on the 50m line?? Something I've seen him do a few times....

Re: who teaches these guys to kick
I can understand kicking, but bad handballs... there is no excuse. Gilbert had poor handballs to the feet of players.
Sigh... disappointed we lost, was a good game, we needed to win, boys played alright to be honest.

Re: who teaches these guys to kick
Gilbert is the worst handballer in the comp - unbelievable that a player at the highest level continually misses targets 3m away by hand. Not to mention that he has no right foot at all. Stumpy.
Trade bait.

Please...let's win a Premiership before GEELONG!!!! (O.k., so we've missed that opportunity...maybe let's win the next one before Geelong????)
