Kicking Goals.

Post: # 1614580Post SuperSaint66 »

We were never going to win v WCE in Perth, but how much better would our score have looked if our missed shots had been goals. From memory Roo missed 2, with another out on the full. Membrey missed 2, Bruce missed 1, and another failed to score, Lonie & Billings also missed shots at goal. Very frustrating to watch!

Weller lining up is the only time I think we're better than 50/50. Bring back the Heater or Mark Scott.

Kicking 11.3 would certainly have been better than 3.11 but still a 10 goal belting.
We need to improve our kicking at goal (and around the ground) that's for sure!

Last year we kicked 241.249 and were the only side in the AFL to kick more behinds than goals.

This year we have kicked much straighter while Essendon, Freo & Lions have all kicked more behinds than goals so far.

So poor goal kicking is generally poor footy.

Good news is - we have improved. 97.75 this year.
