So do you reckon our dumbass coaches could come up with the bright idea of spending an hour at training kicking at goal.
I know its simplistic but you never know it may work.
What an incredibly stupid suggestion!!!!

Have you never heard of OH&S?
We don't want our boys getting muscle strains practicing their kicking.

We don't pay them over $300,000 on average to waste their time risking training injuries.
Much better they spend their time eating nutritionist approved foods in front of white boards and video analyses.
Yes
Sorry I'm so stupid
I'll just go and listen to richos presser again about how pleasing aspects of our game were tonight

no,
for all the discussion about why we haven't improved as a team - we have, except in one glaringly important area - goal kicking
2016 - 54.7% - 5th in comp
2017 - 46.8% - 18th in comp

we'd be in the eight with a healthy percentage if we repeated last years effort.
but of course last year may have been a false dawn - we were 18th in 2015.

Rest assured, our coaching staff are still working hard to fix it.

change the title to "inaccuracy in front of 2 tall white posts that the players don't appear to recognize"
those might be sacred relics from a long-forgotten time
some wise old sages have claimed that as an object passes between the two obelisks,
the assembled mass of worshippers let out a shout that could bring down the walls of Jericho.

However, this ancient practice is only rarely used by the Anointed Ones,
those who have been chosen as in the Hunger Games,
plucked from obscurity, clothed in colourful raiments,
now being the subject of much adulation from the great unwashed.

The Anointed Ones are wrenched from home and hearth,
transported far away in order to be instructed in the noble arts of combat,
to be practiced in lavish amphitheatres,
witnessed by hordes of lowly paid peasants.

The Anointed Ones are given all manner of food,
drink and fair maidens (or some absolute rottweilers,
in the case of Brent Harvey's missus).

Looks like the Dogs are mounting a bit of a challenge to our "most inaccurate" title.
