Problem is he'll miss and it will go to a Suns player....lol.

Meat was a reasonable field kick, better than his goal kicking.

Yes, when he played as a key defender, my heart was in my mouth every time he tried pinpoint kicks to a teammate, but he rarely missed the target.

Yep, one of the real anomalies of football, you can have guys who can hit a target on the run at 50m yet are unable to get it between the posts(the wide ones) on a set shot!

I have a theory on this.  Some people over think it.

Have you ever just reacted instinctively and surprised yourself? I have on the sports field a lot.  Hell, the more I listen to my instincts the better served I am.

The more I think about it, the more nervous, worked up, and then ultimately suffering is the only result.  I think this is what star wars talked about when discussing light and dark side.

Stewart Loewe was a wonderful mark like Levi but also a shocking kick initially, later in his career he became a very reliable kick so it is possible all be it rare for a player to improve in this area.

Maybe when he was in the clear but with a two handed drop its impossible to be accurate if you have to kick quickly or on the wrong foot.

I think we should belt GC by 50 points minimum, Levi will probably kick a few goals(2-3) given he is their only target and good luck to him....

This is very true, I've had some high level success in different sports, and the best advice I ever got and that I could ever pass on is to always deliver it cold. Act like you've been there before, seen it before, and that you belong there. It's amazing how that mindset can calm you into a high level of performance.

I've also heard this is one of the biggest benefits of visualising the contest prior to the actual event, it tricks / makes you feel you are in a familiar environment.

Chol did kick 3 goals last week.  Do not underestimate.

Gold Coast is clearly a danger game for us. They have a lot of high draft picks who are highly talented. We have had a history of not turning up against. Lost to North Melbourne Gold Coast and Collingwood last season, lost to Hawthorn and Adelaide the previous season and I think we have had a history of consistently losing to bottom four sides over the past few years. even when we are not a bottom four side. As I have said in the past, losers lose because they lose, winners win because they win. We were lucky to get away with a win last week against, not that I thought Hawthorn deserved to win, but because we stopped playing smart and started playing lazy and dumb. The ball bobbled out a couple of times to Hawthorn players in the final minute but Weitering was able to intervene and save us. Our midfield should overpower Gold Coast and our forwards should be able to kick enough goals to win. However, what we should do and what we actually do do has been a large gap recently.

Agree that in the past we have benevolently ran teams and players into form. This is a test for for us and will show if we have indeed changed our spots under Voss. Providing we don't take them lightly, we should win comfortably.
