Thinking in sport has shifted from the idea that time is best spent working on your weaknesses to time is best spent developing your strengths. Of course it would be great for Mutch to become elite with both feet, but it's certainly more achievable for him to become elite on one side if efforts are focused on that particular goal.
Yes and No, it is the ability to kick with both feet that helped make Sam Mitchell into the player he is.
It is a mighty good skill to have and one most players, would love to have.
Well he can kick with both feet. Nobody is suggesting anything other than that is a good thing. But if he is to become an excellent kick, it’s more likely that he will achieve that goal if he focuses his efforts on one side. In most occasions players have the opportunity to turn onto their preferred side. It also makes the more predictable to their teammates.
You can be an excellent kick on both feet - A few examples - Mitchell, Hawkins, G.Williams and D.Jarman…

TBM Bobby Skilton is the best I’ve seen. If he was on the right-footer’s side having a standing kick, he kick right foot, and left foot on the other side. Straight in front, he’d kick left.

Yeah, it’s pretty likely that pick 42 in the draft will meet that standard. A completely realistic and achievable objective.

Also predictable to the opposition. I think someone who can use either foot is NOT nearly as predictable.
I am probably saying that because I can.
As I said, he can already kick on both feet. If he could become elite on one side he would have done something that 90% of our list haven’t been able do.

It’s to be determined if Mutch ends up being an elite kick - According to EFC players they are unsure which is his natural side You should be praising Mutch for being able to kick on both feet - It’s easier to criticise.

It’s great that he can kick on both feet. Nobody is criticising him, and I’m baffled how you could come to that conclusion. You however, are criticising the club because they believe he should focus his efforts and choose a preferred side. I reckon the club’s advice is pragmatic and common sense.

And also Peter Matera from the Eagles, particularly on the run.
Check out each of his five goals in the '92 GF or that time he scored 7 against us in a night match at the 'G in the late nineties ('98?), but that was primarily in an unaccustomed role at full forward for him.

I didn’t read @“Windy Dill” was criticising at all. I’m sure Kobe will always be a good kick on his non-preferred and will use it, but the club clearly want him to get one side up to an elite standard.
Blitz: “Hey Woosha I hear what you’re saying about Mutch becoming an elite kick but did u ever think mebbe he becomes a AAA elite kick on both feet?”
It’s patently obvious that kicking standards at the AFL are more of a step up from TAC and state leagues than any other aspect of the game. It sounds like this kid literally doesn’t know which foot he prefers. He needs to focus on one to get it to AAA elite level. It’s simple. He’s not going to fkn forget how to use his other foot, you just can’t physically put enough hrs into both feet to get them to the super elite level. You need to focus on one unless you are some sort of football God. That’s always been the case in sport. Watch what a school teacher does to a child who shows equal ability to handwrite with both hands (there was one in my class). They make them choose too.
