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!

Think his kicking style is Ok Qwerty??

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.

I havent seen him bang a goal from 50 out yet. Hopefully hes able to do that...

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
