Do we have a dedicated Kicking Coach??
Interested if anyone knows if we have a dedicated kicking coach.
It seems to me that our foot skills as a team are lagging the other top line teams and have done so for a number of years.
As proved in our finals series this year, we were eaten up by skillful and creative kicking by the 2 top teams.
With it being such a crucial discipline Iif we don't have a dedicated coach/teacher it is something that needs addressing.
It is good enough to have a tackling coach ehgaged to improve our tackling skills, why not a kicking coach.....
It is more than just technique in my opinion, also thought process and the type of kick to suit the occassion....depth, height, power.
Just my thoughts.
Cheers

No improvement in kicj=king skills is apparent without BJ's involvment in my opinion or an injection of breakaway pace by our midfielders to create time and space. Funny we rejected our best opportunity to do that by not recruiting to achieve this!!!???Beekay wrote:OLB wrote:A BJ would help anyone improve their kicking.ohwhenthesaints! wrote:It is surely an area that we need to improve on, especially the accuracy of a lot of our midfielders....
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Up to what standard?homework wrote:Our kicking in our midfield (besides luke ball) is up to standardohwhenthesaints! wrote:What have I said? Our midfield can't improve on their kicking?
Even if it was 'up to standard' you can still improve.
Luke Ball & Lenny Hayes, 50% of our A Grade starting mid field are not up to standard.
Also, what about the rest of the ground?
