Goddard for kicking coach

Post: # 547943Post kalsaint »

Wouldn't be much harm in this.

He is the team's master in my opinion. Ther are others who could be of value but they handball too much when they need to kick it.

Goddard's ball disposal skill brings uncertainty to the opposition's mind.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

He is a player not a coach.

i don't think they should place Goddard in that position. I think plugger would be ideal but somehow i doubt he would want to be a kicking coach.

wasnt much of a master when he missed a set shot in the 2nd q. from 35m out....

The kicking problems are mental.. St.Kilda hasnt gone and recruited a whole bunch of players that cant kick..

Like they've been doing in the midfield, a vast majority of our players pass the buck, and dont kick for goal with assertiveness.. They just lob it in the air and hope..

Its time they all grew some balls and drilled in through...

yes, its a confidence issue they need to work on. for example look at geelong having a shot at everything usually making them.To add that confidence, going back to basics wouldn't be such a bad idea.

the blokes a pro footy player.
he should know how to kick and drop a footy onto his boot.
either go and watch some tapes of the old fellas from the 80's kicking goals or get someone who was a noted goal kicker to give him a hand and a few pointers.
i mean does he have the time during the week? does he work a normal 9-5 job?
if he doesnt then he should be putting in 8 hrs a day of somekind of footy practice.....in fact most of the players should.
christ id be out there everyday doing SOMETHING
