the worst part of that is he ignored the coaches repeated instructions to be clinical with ball movement and disposalBernard Shakey wrote:I was at the game and have watched it since on foxtel.

Whilst I dont believe you can read into efficiency stats given the horrible conditions, this might give you bit of idea on how everyone went with their kicking.Bernard Shakey wrote:I was at the game and have watched it since on foxtel.

Tom Ledger - 27 kicks @ 51%
Jason Blake 11 kicks @ 54.4
Darren Minchington 11 kicks @ 54.4
Cam Shenton 10 kicks @ 90%
Adam Cockie 18 kicks @ 55%
Myke Cook 16 kicks @ 62%
Adam Schneider 5 kicks @ 40%
I also went through most of other players and no point posting them all but the average kicking efficiency was about 50-55%.

“Cam Shenton continued his great run of form. He has been outstanding the last five weeks … the way he is willing to take the game on and actually take a lot of responsibility down back in regards to how set-ups are set-up.” – Sandringham Assistant coach Matt Embling

Who says these things? I cant remember anyone saying it apart from you occassionally. I thought it was you trying to be sarcastic but maybe you actually mean it.

Why is Riewoldt blonde yet Gilbert appears to be blonde?
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.
