PII2C... watch the tape... so many slow, high, loopy kicks to contests that we invariably lost. Dreadful from a senior player who should know better. I counted at least 8 of them. Plus an awful F50 at a blokes feet, plus the sloppy handball.
If you kick short you kick it hard flat and fast you don't lob it on a spot and invite a bloke to come in and kill the marking attempt.
Absolutely spot on Professer E. Though it wouldn't be picked up by those watching the game on TV, Carrazzo takes an eternity to dispose of the ball & in doing so, has rendered some good options upfield as utterly useless by the time he gets to making a decision to kick the damn thing & even then, as you correctly said, his kicks are high & loopy = totally ineffective.
I'll take Curnow over Carrazzo anyday of the week.
