these stats not counting shots that go on the full or some food drop short mean they are not a true measure of goal kicking accuracy.

if you can find one that does registar all the other ‘misses’ you will find they are worlds apart

I literally said that in the post.
Not like you to respond to things without reading them (or is it?)

I did read it and wasn't having a go at your post just stating without those stats the comparison is pointless.  Your last sentence says 'the point remains' - my post was inferring the stats provided mean nothing so cant be used to demonstrate Kemps kicking.
   
You do realise this is a forum with differing opinions ::)

The Sports Desk / Re: Melbourne Storm

I wonder if our club will show interest in buying into Melbourne Storm, at one stage they shared our ground as a training venue, now I hear the Filth have become the front runners which would be an utter tragedy.

A number of suburban AFL club's now co-habit with soccer, some have even built significant hybrid complexes that leverage the shared resources to reduce direct overheads. It makes sense, we have certainly looked at stuff like this in the past, and I think we should seriously consider it again.

I know this is not exactly what you were talking about and the following data doesn't take into account complete misses (look at you Harry) but point remains, i think Kemp is being a bit harshly judged.

I prefer specialist KP forwards rather than manufactured ones...we need to recruit a young KP who is a good kick at U18 level and doesn't need remedial work.
Brendon Fevola comes to mind...we don't have that player like a Fevola, Gunston, Elliott, Robbie Gray who can kick that set shot match winner in the final seconds under pressure.

What's the odds Frampton gets off? (Is it a Slam Dunk?)
He did! Hard to believe but got the Collingwood discount....lol.
Love the headline "Shock verdict as Tribunal finds Pie tackled dangerously... but overturns his ban anyway".
