Is a disgraceful kick - and Owens is not much better

For an AFL forward- he doesn’t even drop the ball right!

I’ve seen u14’s who are better kicks!!

What irks me is when goes for those around the corner kicks from a set shot on virtually no angle. From memory, he missed one of those in the last quarter. This sort gimmickry needs to go. FFS, kick a drop punt!!!

Fantastic discussion:

23 goals - 22 points
23 goals - 19 points
23 goals - 12 points
23 goals - 10 points

Also
16 goals - 12 points
15 goals - 9 points
15 goals - 9 points
15 goals - 8 points

Guess who has kicked these stats up until last round? Some Saints - Some not

It is the rushing that does my head in.

I dint think any of the saints players have a goal kicking routine.
Practice everything hierver it is kick and giggle when comes to practising goal kicking. Happens all the way through form under 8s up. Never seen a team take it seriously.

Shows when players don't know how to execute. Spinning balls, snapping from too far out. Run ups not known.

He rushes them and doesn't take the time to settle himself

Our players should anticipate the ball falling short or going to the boundary line 15m around from the behind post

He is ok on his right foot .... but his left ..... he is biting off more than he can chew

The look on Lyon when he fluffed it ... he was practically laughing knowing he would fk it up

We knew what we were getting with Snags.

A talented footballer who has problems using his brain

Maybe that's our biggest issue. We recruit the wrong players

His drop punt kicking is amateur- his ball drop terrible

Technically the worst kick I’ve seen since Clint Jones

Mitch Owens is also terrible
