Field kicking.....
That is what hurts us....MORE than any other area...
Gram, Montaga, Blake, Hayes, Ball and a few other.....BUTCHER the ball..
we DO not get reward - often for OUTSTANDING effort....
BTW - Gram is the MAIN offender

Man, a 5% improvement would make a massive change. Mind you, it was swirling out there tonight.
The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.

Exactly...and Gram definitely hada real shocker disposal wise...which is a real shame as his field play was good.BigMart wrote:That is what hurts us....MORE than any other area...

Nah you are right on the money St Mart..but to turn it into a positive..we'd have won by 10 goals+ tonight if we'd cleaned up our kicking.
Gram and Gilbert were the worst two for mine. It does appear that the Grambulance is back. Even when gets on a 50m kick, its a helicopter punt thats impossible to mark. Shame tho, cos its spoint an otherwise terrific game
Oh..can someone explain to me why Gilbert is the go-to man in the RIGHT back pocket/flank so often. Twice his natural left to right fade when he kicks saw the ball sail out on the full. Surely he needs to be on the left flank?

Re: Field kicking.....
Gram is at his best when he takes risks, now even though he had a bad game, I'm sure he'll be fine once he runs into form.BigMart wrote:That is what hurts us....MORE than any other area...

If we start restricting out players from taking risks, we're going to end up a very boring team to watch.
I'd rather we make those mistakes having a go, than hold the ball up and play the safe option.
Besides out defensive structure seems awesome atm, we can afford to take those risks.
