Why on earth can we rarely hit targets?
Even when not under pressure, we kick the ball to each other's feet. Very bloody frustrating!

Technique + practice = skill
Traditional match play at training is a waste of time - it only reinforces errors.
Each player should have an individual analysis and then an individual training plan to improve kicking on both feet.
Kicking is the secret to a good football team - not really surprising seeing it's called FOOTball. No matter how many handballs you have (like Geelong) eventually you have to kick it. This needs to go to a teammate (like Geelong) if not, all the good work is undone, and a rebound goal may welll result with a good team. The least worst result is a short kick (at the feet of a teammate) rather than a long kick - which is what we do. Of course, if you are playing a team with worse foot skills than you, they will give the ball back - Like Freo and Carlton!

Hudghton = 100% Efficiency today (6 Kicks)BigMart wrote:Because the following CANNOT kick at all....
Clint Jones, Sam Gilbert, Hudghton, Blake, Eddy
and these miss more targets than they hit....
Gram, Montagna, Hayes, Riewoldt (goals), S.Fisher, Dempster
Gwilt = 90% Efficiency (7 Kicks)
the rest are pretty poor IMO.
