Have another look.... the kick was good.
Pickett was running back to the square then stopped and jumped too soon... it's easy for me to say from lounge but he should have kept going back with the flight.. he didn't want it badly enough imo.
I know he's young and inexperienced etc etc... but I've seen it a few times in general play he steps back and hopes for it to bounce his way instead of attacking the pill
I don't need to, I was sitting right above it in Q9 with a perfect view. The kick should have been lower and should have allowed Pickett to run onto it. It was too loopy and gave the defenders (ie plural) time to make it difficult.
