Re: Post Game Commiserations AFL 2020 Rd 15: Carlton vs GWS Reply #165 – September 06, 2020, 09:48:24 am Quote from: Macca37 – on September 05, 2020, 05:43:16 pmMcGovern 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. Quote Selected 1 Likes

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!

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. Quote Selected 1 Likes

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.

Re: Post Game Commiserations AFL 2020 Rd 15: Carlton vs GWS Reply #174 – September 06, 2020, 08:04:21 pm 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 Quote Selected

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.....
