McGovern is an accurate kick, but given what he has offered so far he may not be with us long term.

As for Harry, have a look at his run up with a set shot. It's all so casual and he is swinging the ball left to right and depending where it is on the drop is the direction it goes.  Against Collingwood and again last night he had deliberate shots for goal from deep inside the right forward pocket, favouring his left foot.

He went with kicking across his body and both kicks went straight across the ground from where  he was kicking, landing in the opposite  pocket.  In recent weeks from the same position another shot went out of bounds. 

Maybe Newnes can show him how simple a run up can be.

To me, H doesn’t look confident when kicking across his body... it’s like he’s thinking “I’ll just get this thing on it’s way...” rather than the old kick it to someone in the crowd trick.
I personally don’t care how laconic he “looks” when he kicks, as long as he can kick to afl standard.
Let’s go BIG !

Fans underestimate the stress and pressure that kicking for goal in AFL presents to players, crowds or no crowds, and learning how to deal with it is part of the issue. When you watch the guys in the warm up from 45m to 50m out they kick at about 80%!

For example, in the absence of Rocca it's clear Casboult has taken a step backwards, this is all about head space and nothing to do with a physical change in such a short period of time. He's let the demons back into his head!

Plus I'm not going to underestimate the stupidity from the AFL of having a million new footballs available, if you take notice of the balls they use during the game you can see odd shapes of all sorts, it's like a lucky dip of finding a footy with the correct shape! Back in the old days the umpires would go through a bag of new footballs balls pre-game and pick the best one, now they have liquorice all sorts!

Fev's happy to help.

Get him and blokes like Kouta back in the fold.

Can't imagine they'd want much, if any, money?
Finals, then 4 in a row!

While you're at it, get Fev to work with Cripps on his goal kicking. There is no system to Cripps and the rest him forward theory holds little value if he cannot kick goals.

All our fwds have no system, H and Crippa in particular are "just walk in and kick it" types, no routine, no technique, no thinking through the kick. All the great fwds all had a routine they repeated over and over again. I find it ironic we can repeat errors in execution to perfection but cannot work on, improve and execute properly disposal and goal kicking. As I keep harping on about, as shambolic as our fwd line seems, we get it in plenty and have plenty of shots on goal, just too many behinds.

In fact, all forwards. I bet he'd love to help out at minimal cost.

Kouta could also teach a few how to take a bloody mark

You know one of the best marks we had was Brad Fisher. I seem to remember an interview once (AFL record maybe) where he said something like he just watches the ball closely when asked about his marking. May be something in that - other players don't.

Yes a great mark and always seemed to have time to lick his hands before he took the mark.

Don’t need Fev we need who taught fev to change his grip to the different hand approach and to walk in a straight line at his target holding the ball still and in line with his drop target. Then it’s just swinging your leg straight. Can’t remember who it was but Fev will. 
 Capper was an ugly style kick but he never had to kick far and never had to extend himself just stuck to simple and kicked 100 in a season

Just on this, while it’s fine to have Club legends back at the club, they’ve gotta be the “right” legends...

Fevola was usually great kick at goal, but I will never forgive him for hitting the post from 15 metres out to hand Hawthorn a win in 2009.  Some blokes rise to the pressure, and some wilt.....
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Remember Kernahan stuffing up against Essendon at the MCG?  Far worse
