He displays run.

His kicking is poor. This isn't hard to see.

Right now, its on par with Jayden Hunt who was horrible by foot. Hopefully Windsor can I.prove on that.

I'm actually surprised how high he went in the draft. His kicking is really poor and we've seen time and time again how hard it is to turn a bad kick into a good kick.

    Take a look at his form last year, he’s had an injury interrupted preseason, second year blues. He’ll be a 200 gamer, worth every cent

    Windsor has far greater scope than Jayden Hunt, he’s much better in traffic and aerially

    Agree, Windsor is having a poor season, which could be contributed somewhat to an interrupted preseason. Are we expecting too much from a second year player whose just turned 20?

    To me, Windsor's kicking last year looked a strength, his kicks to advantage were excellent and he was one of the few regularly lowering his eyes i50. IMO the comparisons to Jayden Hunt are incorrect.

    His year reflects second year blues (for want of a better term) from a guy in a team that is bottom 6 and all over the shop.

    Put him in a top 4 team and we'd all be saying why did we pick Caddy instead of him?

    The real crime is that Logan Morris, Joel Freijar and Darcy Wilson were not on our radar enough. We traded 14, 27 and 35 for pick 11 to get the Kolt. We could've got all three. Coulda, shoulda, woulda

    Hmmmmm 🤔

    Hyperbole as usual. Caleb is not a poor kick. Neither is he an elite kick. He's a decent kick who is a pretty bloody good kick for goal on the run.

    He had an incredibly consistent first season and then has spent time learning a new role at the same time as battling injury.

    Give him time.

    I think Winsdor is a good 'find the target' with weighted kick but he's probably not going to spear drop punts onto chests like a knife.

    The comparisons with Gulden are a bit harsh though. Probably the best field kick in the league by a stretch

    I'm fine with where he was picked.

    But I beg to differ about his kicking. It's poor in my opinion.

    On effective disposal so far in his career hes rated as 'below average' thats including last year.

    He has time on his hand but history will say it can be difficult to turn a poor kick into a good one.

    His best attribute is reading the play, he's elite, and that's why they're playing him in defence.

    It hasn't worked and that's fine. I'd be backing him in for a massive 2026

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
