That could be the smartest thing I ever heard, I said the same thing re the roosters not long ago, not related but amos roberts missed a kick converting from right in front (roosters lost-no surprise) I was on the blower to my roostrer buddies within mins wanting to know how can you find out how much money is on games, individual stats etc....we didn't get to the bottom of it, but I would be very interested to know re magic and money on him etc....I am not accusing anyone, but there must be an explanation for someone with his remarkable talent to miss dead set shots.

Correct, and it is not the only thing we have in common. Though you will need to refer to your previous sig to solve that riddle.Originally posted by goswannie14

I believe accuracy is important, but when was the last time the forwards in particular took extra time at training to practise? Back in the Lockett/Dunstall/Ablett era these players would spend an hour before every training session taking set shots at goal. It just seems that the emphasis is not so much about taking advantage of every opportunity up forward but rather giving the forwards heaps of opportunity. That translates into a high number of inside-50's, a lot of shots on goal, but also a lot of misses. That's the frustrating thing.
Is it a concern? Maybe. Against sides like Port Adelaide and Essendon you could get away with poor kicking , but not against the elite teams of West Coast and Adelaide. You make a mistake and they WILL hurt you.10100111001 ;-)Comment

AHAHAHA!!! i agree with you!
I think his concussion is still there...accuracy isn't a concern? we could've buried PA and recieve a higher percentage rate. We are 3rd at the moment..which is OK.Kirky is everything you want in a Captain

We had only 42 I50s on the weekend - a very low number (although Port had only 39 - a paltry amount).
Through the course of the year our I50 numbers vary significantly. Our averages are very good (5th) and our differential is outstanding (2nd), however it is partly distorted by some outstandingly high games, and we have produce a number of shockers.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Accuracy not a concern: Kirk
Which raises the question: Is it more "bloods-like" for 6 blue collar mongrels to kick a point than it is for a "superstar" to kick a goal?Comment

Sydney haunted by yips
[ I]n the past seven games [Hall has] kicked 13.15 at 46.43 per cent after finishing with 3.3 against Port Adelaide.
...
In his past seven games O'Loughlin has kicked 8.15 at 34.78 per cent after managing just four behinds against Port Adelaide, leaving him stuck on 399 career goals.
Astonishingly O'Loughlin even missed a set shot from 15m in front in the second term against Port Adelaide.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.
