Newsflash: Our kicking at goal is a problem

Joe is our best set shot at 48% accuracy...

 

If - theoretically - we took all our chances (and our opponents took all theirs) we'd be 4th on the ladder. And that's without the other supposed holes in our gameplan receiving any attention.

 

Interestingly, using another method provided by Champion data which accounts for the location of the shot and pressure, we'd be 14th...

 

What happened to that kicking coach we saw an article on? Is he still with us? Was he ever?

 

Prepare for a Rolo favourite infographic...

Joe Dan most accurate at the club with a 48% accuracy rating.......

 

 

Ouch...

What a far cry from the days of Lloyd who had about 60+% accuracy.

Hardingham says Hi!

Hardingham says Hi!

And hopefully dobs a few goals tonight as we beat Geelong!

Does it count the ones that went OOTF?

Just put the ball in the hands of Paddy Ryder

Coleman has the highest goals per game ever, screw Hudson!

Maybe our fitness coach has got his dad down to teach the players how to kick a set shot at goal.

Wrote about something to this effect a couple of weeks back.

 

Hawks used Adam Yze as a full time(?) specialist goal kicking coach last year. Not sure if he's still there?

 

Peeto, We tried That Ben Perkins guy with Hurley a couple of years back. Don't think he's been at the club since, not sure of teh internal opinion on what he offers?

 

That said I'm not that into Craig, Goodwin or Bassett coaching the players on goal kicking technique, in their spare time.

 

Farkeet. Let's get Lloydy and Plugger down to the club for some sessions! 

Yeah, there must be an amount of goals that had to be kicked prior to being considered... because Joe isn't our most accurate.

Are you sure? l have read many times that Hudson has the highest ave of goals / game, Coleman is second, both are the only players to ave over 5 goals / game.

Coleman 5.48

 

Hudson 5.64

 

Funny enough the the stats for Hudson 5.46 is wrong.  Where is there checks and balance.

Poor Governance.

Lack of integrity. 

Can be construed as most stats, pointless. We get so many inside 50's and scoring shots, because teams know we are wasteful, and when put under pressure up the ground, with a couple of spare men back, they can simply sit back, allow us to take the game on, and play straight into their hands, and burn us on the counter attack.

 

More worrying this year is the fact that reliable set shots have lost their mojo, Goddard, winda and Chappy have all lost their ability to kick straight for goals on set shots esp. Guess you could argue it's due to them and the whole side having to work extra hard for the same result as previous years.

And poor kicking has cost us again tonight :(

I blame Peeto for this loss.

I have come to the point that I now imagine every mark in the forward 50 will be a point.  It is soul destroying.

Really is pathetic. How can guys get on a AFL list when they cant do the basics
