Good to see the focus so early on skills & goal kicking. We should see a big improvement next season.

I wonder how Geary and some other poor performers go - can they improve, or are set ways too hard to change?

Or will it be, the more you practice, the better you get !

Agreed. I've been waiting for ages to have someone make the absolute ball-butchering accountable for the rot they regularly trot out. I for one cannot wait to watch my team hit a target (human and goal) more often than not.

As that old saying goes. " practice makes perfect."

It doesn't matter how much practice you do if you don't practice correctly, it's why i like the phrase," Perfect practice makes perfect".

I'd like to see not only accuracy, but low passes rather than lofted balls that get cut off or punched easily. For years the best performed opposition player against us has been the intercept marker.
With some of the worst helicopter kicks off our list, perhaps that will change. I'll believe in miracles when I see Geary hit a target and Billings comfortable in front of goal.

Yeah, Geary is such a key to our forward line

According to AFLTables, we win 66% of our games where Geary kicks a goal (14/21) and 63% of our games where he kicks a behind (12/19). He is clearly the missing piece we've been searching for.
