Left footers kick better

"There is a direct parallel between kicking efficiency and winning premierships," Pelchen said. "If it came down to (drafting) players of comparable ability we'd take the player who kicked left foot."

I think one of the sub editors at the newspaper got his dates miced up, this should have been in tomorrows paper.......

Just for fun, how many left footers do we have?

About as many left handers.

Not necessarily...

One doesn't have to be a left hander to be a left footer haha.

Perhaps this is part of the problem with our kicking, if the player is going to kick right footed, I have noticed a lot of our players raise their left hand to identify themselves as a target, and vice versa....I am sure with a bit of training we can fix this.....we could raise both hands.....I think we practiced this in the first quarter on Saturday

Given we only had 6 players who had more than 10 kicks on the weekend I'd suggest we just want players who can kick!

The fact the Davey and Green can't/won't kick right foot has peed me off for years.For example,in last years Queen's B'day game,Pies players took Davey's left foot space and instead of getting on to his right,he moved right,turned right,turned right,turned right again and kicked on his left,this happened twice on half back and once on the wing and for a senior player not to kick both sides in todays game is appalling.

It's a pleasure to watch Scully kick both sides of his body (not elite yet,but it will come) because he will need to in the next 15 years.Imagine a tennis player who couldn't hit backhand but had a great forehand,you are behind the 8 ball and opponents soon find out your weakness.

Or maybe players who can get the pill.
