His Kicking Style and technique need URGENT overhaul.

Whoever is the designated kicking coach down at the club needs to remedy his approach and style ASAP!

Stop Start Dozzy Do, Hesitation, start again Shhesh doesn't inspire too much confidence.

Needs to be remedied NOW!

Potential champion, maybe but kicking needs to be addressed!

    His field kicking is exceptional for a young key tall. It's not his technique that's the trouble.

    The run-up and set shot kicking will improve as he gains more confidence

    Nup not buying it 1 I think Kicking style is ingrained from an early age, nothing to do with Maturity, All to do with developing a set shot routine!

    I believe that this needs to be rectified ASAP!

    Nick Reiwold, Travis Cloke and Luke Breust are current big goal kickers who had horrendous patches in their careers where they could not hit the side of a barn at any distance. FFS he's only played three games.

    It's not worth a separate thread and has been adequately discussed in the post match discussion without any over reaction.

    But yes let's make a mountain out of a molehill.

    He will be alright.

    The kid hardly missed in the VFL two years ago by all reports. The action is weird and non-fluid, but I'm willing to reserve judgement for now; the sample set is small.

    Even if it does prove to be ineffective, I expect it'll be remedied easily and quickly.

    Nup still not buying. This needed to be remedied a long time ago even before MFC came on the scene.

    A lot of work is required at this point!

    I'm sure the club and coaches are very aware of this!

    Got nothing to do with having "Horrendous Patches" has everything to do with a consistent, fluid action which I do not think he has!

    To be a consistent goal kicker at the highest level this is mandatory!

    Question

    Who currently or a former player with a jerky action was a consistent goal kicker??

    Not too many!/

    Jimmy Krakour is one of few!

    I'm not sure what you're not buying. In 2013 he kicked 39.21, including a bag of 6.2 and a 5.1. In only two game did he kick more behinds than goals (3.4 and 2.3). The evidence is all there.

    Josh Kennedy comes to mind.

    I can see your facts and stats Nasher of a few yeqars ago which ARE impressive, but would like to see a fluid smooth action with the same effect at the senior level to be convinced!

    He's crap. We should trade him.

    Gee Jaded, Just need to work on his kicking! A bit of an over reaction don't you think??

    The bloke is a competitor and has drive. Will fix his flaws because he wants to.

    Was just discussed on On the Couch.... but they also discussed Garlett... while everyone is bagging Watts over a couple of dropped marks at crucial times, Garlett has been kicking at 38% efficiency and has 0.5 from set shots in his total of 5.10 in three games. If Hogan and Garlett can get their acts together, we will be much better off... Watts is not the problem.

    I agree, I spose I just want the complete "Champion" "Gun" Forward which we have lacked for such a long time.

    Very happy with how he is going, but just mention this "Anomaly" as part of a discussion point! Which IMO does need to be worked on!

    Just sayin!

    That's 40 points we wouldn't have had last year. Excluding his score assists.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
