Kicking for Goal - Hypothetical (life and death situation)
Q: You have a gun pointed at your head and your life depends on a St Kilda forward kicking a goal from a set shot from 45 metres out, directly in front. You can nominate only one of our forwards to take the kick, sans Nick Riewoldt.
I don't know about you, but I'm almost convinced I'd be a goner in this situation. This is a real concern for us in the near future. We need to improve on this tenfold very soon or otherwise we simply won't be seeing any type of window opened for a premiership in the foreseeable future.

WHere is the "none of the above" button.
Our goalkicking this year blew our season.
No question. 46% just doesnt cut it.

Better to point the gun at the head of those kickers.
Would be interesting to see if that could concentrate their aim.

I felt really uncomfortable with this question.

Re: Kicking for Goal - Hypothetical (life and death situatio
If it's an American cop holding the gun, choose which is most likely to occur:
a. the cop panics and shoots the player instead;
b. the cop shoots before the player even lines up;
c. the cop shoots the umpire because he believed the very shiny whistle in the hand
was in fact a loaded firearm.

Re: Kicking for Goal - Hypothetical (life and death situatio
well i guess the positive is the confidence (or less of a lack of) in Membrey.
From his first season with us i thought he would be a very good player once he improved his goal kicking - it was abysmal.
on this choice i'd go with bruce outside forty metres - membrey inside.

Re: Kicking for Goal - Hypothetical (life and death situatio
There was a time when Jack Steven would never miss a set shot.
Of the list above I'd pick Membrey but he can choke if the kick is really crucial.

Me too. He's a fantastic kick for goal. Wish he wasn't so averse to playing up forward.StPeter wrote:Membrey from this list but impressed with Carlisle's kicking for goal from limited chances this year.

the Murphygate game where JB got very lucky...against his trend...
if he'd missed 3 or 4 like he normally does, his figures would look even worse than they are!

Re: Kicking for Goal - Hypothetical (life and death situatio
So Gresh, Billings and Bruce could reasonably become 50+ goal a yearers. + Marshall Battle - all looks good so Jake C its still starring in the defence 2018 for u. I feel good do do do do do. Although I sort of did in March 2017 as well but it is our time, soon.
Re: Kicking for Goal - Hypothetical (life and death situatio
Blacres solid as a rock from set shots. Membrey also great.
