The set shot kicking is so bad every week because it is something they clearly don’t value enough to put time into.

Fev used to kick 500 goals a week. How many do our forwards?

What has happened to the kicking?

Owens is fkn horrible
Higgins is disgusting
Hill and Caminiti can’t even get close to simple set shots

We are horrible

Your job as a forward is to kick straight. The best way to kick straight is with a drop punt.

If you can't kick a goal from a slight angle 30m out you can Stop playing right now!! f*** right off!!

When is someone going to teach these guys that kicking for goal is no different to kicking to a stationary team mate. You aim for a target.

Well coached

Great ball movement

We are hacking it, with NO system
Years of access to first round draft picks will do that.
