Whats Brad Green up to these days? Can he come teach our players to kick for goal?

Every time he lined up for goal the commentators would mention his try out for Manchester United and occasionally his junior cricket accomplishments .Every time.

Nothing to do with the coach. The "system" worked. The actual kicking was the let down. Spargo - who I am a huge fan of by the way - was atrocious today. Couldn't kick over a jam tin, rushing his

The word early on was that an ex footballer Earl Spalding was the goal kicking coach but in recent days I have heard that we hired a South American handball star called Ikant kikforshit so not totally

The highest scoring team in the league needs an overhaul of the forward coaching.

Right.

Not much help when insane bombs into the forward 50 ping back the other way at a million miles an hour. I'd much rather be high scoring than having Dawes win our goalkicking on 22, but this is an off-field turmoil free version of 2011.

Go on then ... how many games have we thrown away with bad (= inaccurate) goal kicking?

Well as per a graphic on Footy Classified last night were ranked 3rd for set shot and goal accuracy against bottom 9 sides. But where it matters, we’re ranked 16th for setshot and goal accuracy against top 8 sides. So pretty obvious there’s a big problem there as we haven’t beaten a single top 8 side this year.

That said I’m sure you’ve watched every game that I have this year. You can’t tell me we don’t have a problem  going forward and kicking goal against good opposition.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
