McKay is a Coleman Medallist. He knows how to kick, and he knows how to find the big sticks. He, like all players, has room for improvement. I'm quite convinced that the faffing about with technique and the yips in front of goal are a head space issue, and he, like a lot of our players, seems to be in a rut of some sort.

I enjoyed reading your post , but there is a contradiction.
You say that you think we have a very good list, and then you continue on to say the problem is that we don't hit targets by foot or by hand and then you list the further problems caused by those basic mistakes.
A recent post included a quote from Paul Roos made in 2014 and it goes to the heart of Carlton's problem right now:
'If you have got an inability to hit targets, its really hard to implement a game plan because you just can't execute the most basic
I don't think the non hitting of targets is about ability. I think it is about mind set and Club culture. So no contradiction.

We had a specialist kicking coach (Sav Rocca), we sacked him to cut costs. I say fark off one of the other spuds and get him or a better one back at the club. Didn't StK just dump the ex Hawks kicking guru (forgot his name)?

Kicking coaches will not break the bank, and if you are serious about your football, you can ask for help off your own bat.
H has already knocked back FREE help from Fev.

I'd suggest that he spends his money on a Sports Psych instead.

Fev struggled early in his career and he reckons BT (Who he barely knew at the time) called him up and offered to help him. They had a couple of sessions on the outside ovals at Princes Park.

I think Harry was going okay with his around the corner shots but then when he misses a few the media go bananas and now he is just confused.

There is no doubt H is confused and his whole game is being affected,  and going by the very clear explanation of his kicking style problems shown by MLloyd, his game will suffer until he gets help from the likes of Lloyd, Fev or Buddy Franklin.

Just came across this snippet 😬

Past 2 games, Carlton have gone inside 50 110 times for a return of just 13 goals. That's just nuts!

Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Its a huge number for sure, how many of those resulted in shots on goal versus how many were intercept marked by oppo defenders.

Fev just said on the radio that BT and Ross Lyon helped him.

He also said that he used to have about 100 shots at training until the sports scientist came in about 2007 and said he can only have 10 shots.
So Fev obviously ignored this advice and bought a whole heap of footballs and did 100 shots at his local ground on the way home from every training session.

He also pointed out that 4 teams on the weekend lost despite having more scoring shots. We weren't one of those teams but accuracy cost us early.
