B1 or Ablett - Who is the worse kick?

[wyatt]

Has either B1 or Ablett hit a target today? They are both woeful kicks!!

Ben Mathews has been our biggest culprit today, but there have been numerous other HUGE culprits, no point singling any 1, 2 or 3 players out.

Mathews isn't a bad kick, he just takes too long to kick it. Seems to need that one extra step.

Agree - Mathews is a pretty good kick and has really improved that part of his game, but it has been awful today.

I agree - he consistenly gets caught. Quite a few of his teammates have also been too slow to dispose of it as well. Probably all jetlagged from the long trip!

Why didnt Mathews have a shot at goal early on in the second quarter?

Mathews is a terrific kick... ON THE RUN.
All set shot this season (from my memory) he has kicked a behind.

I don't want to be singling players out either, esp based on today's game. Every kick that went down in the 1st half was a kick in hope. Long bombing into our EMPTY 50.

He is a **** kick. Kicks pies and has absolutely no penetration.

He is supposed to be our link man but a true link man knows how to dispose of it. Notice how the opposition never tags him and lets him run loose because he never hurts a side. Does not have the confidence to kick for goal from 40 metres. Is that a good kick?
I think not.

Jude Bolton once again showed that he is grossly overrated. $300,000 man, try $3000 man.

Ablett reminds me of Benny Mathews. He takes so long trying to decide what the best option is to kick to, and by that stage has put himself and the rest of the team under pressure.

Bah premiership teams do not have players like Luke Ablett.
