I do not mean to take anything away from the great win yesterday but in all honesty we could hve been another 4 or five goals up without any real change to the way things panned out. I of course refer to the time honoured art of kicking for goal.. Set shots in the main weretn too bad though there were a couple that really SHOULD have been slotted.. Im more concerned at times about the impromptu opportunities and our rather dismall skills here. Can the respective coaches please, PLEASE show the boys how to kick NORMALLY for goal. Yes there are times for the outside check, the inside wobble, the dribble, the banana, the pretzel , the scissor kick, the worm burners and a myriad of other fascinatingly improbable disposals of the ball. Strangely though in about 90% of times a steadied two stepped low hard drop punt weighted to knock the goal umpires head off is ususally the best option. Yet, strangely and mystifyingly the one not chosen. Results can vary from the kick being intercepted to waddling accross goal and hitting the point post to being a brilliantly executed pass to some unknown cousin ( one presumes) sitting behind the points. Good for him....bad for us !! I know footy players love a sense of occasion, some even dabble in the world of style, but Im a bit old fashioned. Im results driven, so can some kind folk down at the MFC please DRIVE this concept home...i.e Lets gets the points first and worry about how you dress it some other time.
