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.Data Source: AFL Tables career records.
Player Goals Behinds Total Shots Accuracy (%) Brendan Fevola Jack Gunston Robbie Gray Jamie Elliott Charlie Curnow Harry McKay Brodie Kemp
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
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".
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.

I have openly said my mind would change if we beat Hawthorn or Collingwood.
What's the odds Frampton gets off? (Is it a Slam Dunk?)
Collingwood would be deservedly starting as favorites, but not by much IMO. I think some in the AFL world would be spooked by the Hawthorn game, which is not unreasonable. I give us a slight chance, but we need 4 quarters of good footy and 18/23 contributors. And if it comes down to "taking our moments" hopefully we're good enough - the Pies have a few players who are good in that space.They’ve taken their moments against us when it counts, same story for the last 5 games or so. We definitely owe them a 4 quarter performance, for our own sanity if nothing else.
And another thread bites the dust.
It's a fruitless argument that is dominating many threads.
The same things are being written time after time.
Yet I doubt one mind has been changed.
And in twelve months from now the whole thing will just be another sad chapter in our 21st century history.
We'll have no doubt moved on next year to a new crisis or new beginnings.
People have had their say, it's on the record.
It'll still be here as long as the site exists in it's present form.
But I doubt anyone will look back more than a few pages on any thread they engage with.
At the very least, can posters please try and confine the Voss/Fraser discussion to the relevant coach thread.
Lods, i feel your frustration.
However, yours seems directed at one side of the debate.
Don't blame the retaliators. blame the instigators.
They've been needling us for months, and continue to do so. Now the shoe is on the other foot and you expect us to continue to cop it? Not going to happen.
