Interesting figures NWB's. And sometimes the goal kicking accuracy should be measured against where you take your kicks. I would suggest that MOL has closer shots on average than Hall or any of the others.

Accuracy has a lot do with;

a) Distance

b) Angle

c) Setshot/Snap/running str8 into goal.


MOL seems to be extremely accurate from tough angles. On this years form , without using any stats, I would of said he is our most accurate kick (most times).

My gut feel (ie without any analysis to back it up) is that he's struggled from tight angles this year. In his first few games back after his delayed start to the year he looked as if he didn't have a clue where to kick the ball on the tight-angled shots.

Even now, I don't think he's taking many shots from tight in the pocket, though looks a bit more comfortable on a moderate angle.

I said tough, not tight. I was thinking from 45 degree angle or less. From my memory he has slotted a lot more than he has missed.

I think MOL has struggled with distances and looks to pass it off. He's done all right from tight angles close in I think though.

What those figures also show is that it is time for ROK to lift his game. We need him to step it up a notch at this end of the season.

But he noticeably has over the past four or five weeks.

If we put aside his inaccuracy on Saturday night, his contribution has noticeably lifted over the past month and is a major reason, I suspect, why the Swans have been playing far more convincing football.
