Its why we didn't make the finals last year. We would have won 2-3 more games if we were more accurate.

Is it where they are having shots from or is it purely bad goal kicking? Probably a bit of both. 1st round was good then it went to s***.

So why doesn't Richo address it?
Why don't we practise, practise, practise?
Why don't we put a premium on recruiting players who can kick?

hard to react to instantly. we kicked very well in 2016 - hence the good season.
it was an anomaly but the club may have thought the problem had solved itself through experience. it hadn't and so they got dixon in. looks like another poor choice atm.
