Kicking at Goal
Our kicking at goal has been awful.
Had we been able to kick straight we would still be a chance.
Do players not practice enough or.......

the players just can't handle the pressure.saintgus wrote:Do players not practice enough or.......
We could have been alot more than 7 points up at qrt time, not that I think it would make any difference seeing they appear to have no guts after qrt time in the past 2 weeks.

Re: Kicking at Goal
It is because you can count the players that are actually good kicks at goal on one finger and that also goes for players in the side capable on kicking a goal on the run! So, what do they do to compensate?? They forever handball sideways intead of going down the middle and consequently make it even more impossible to score a six pointer! Their style of play is so frustrating to watch.saintgus wrote:Our kicking at goal has been awful.

Steven Milne was once the best kick for goal in the competition. He had a run of about 30 goals without kicking a point. In his first five years he kicked 210.92 Since then he's kicked 68.58.
Luke Ball was a sensational kick with either foot when he started. No you just groan when he has the ball.
Kosi at least was better this week.

Kicking for goal is distgusting. Should NOT happen at the elite level. These guys are paid big bucks and should not miss easy shots for goals.
Early in the last qtr, we actually started playing very well, and we have 3 easy shots for goal miss.
That would have bought us within 2 ro 3 goals and could have changed the momentum. Not saying we would have won, but it is the most BASIC part of the game, and we could not put any pressure on them and test them becuase of pathetic kicking for goal.
