Accuracy

Post: # 1855047Post The Fireman »

For years now we have suffered inaccurate kicking for goal

Saints: 12.1 - it’s only the third time a team has won kicking only 1 behind. The other two happened in 1897 and 1900!!!

Not a bad turnaround :)

It's where we're taking our shots from. Not many speculative shots from the arc near the boundary these days.

Closer to goal.
Entries are deeper. As they should be.

12.1 is actually more accurate than 18.2 in terms of %
(But I'd take 18.2 everyday!)

Someone kicked a behind.

A lot of luck that ports behinds weren’t goals we would have been under a lot more pressure.
But certainly a lot better this year in front of goals I’m liking it.

If I was Ben Dixon I'd be claiming that what I put in place, my teachings, usually take a year or two before the true results are realised.

I would be saying that you can teach a cook to be a master chef - but if you only supply Pot Noodles don't expect a world class dish.

Our accuracy has come from better positions taking kicks - Last night we had one from 50 which we were able to drop mid range with confidence that something would happen (and we goaled) - 2 years ago - this would have to be a shot on goal from outside 50 because nothing went into the forward 50 with confidence.

Funny Face?

Seriously - have we just resorted to name-calling now??

But I totally agree - we have been taught to take shots from a better position - so we get higher chances of success

I have been banging on about this for years - Roo used to use his athletic ability to take long leads - but would end up taking shots from the 50 in the pocket. Low percentage shots that would have been better if we had a forward leading to the 25-30 metre mark.

They missed
(count down clock)

First Quarter
King 15:10 snap from near right hand boundary, bounces in goal square, no-one home, then hits left hand behind post.
King 14:09 free kick from right hand boundary, misses everything, out on the full to the left.
Parker 6:34 set shot, misses everything to the right, marked on the boundary by Power.
Butler 4:02 perfect dribble kick from left boundary, fails to grip and turn on slippery grass, hits the right hand goal post.

Third Quarter
Kent 1:58 dribble kick from left boundary, across the face, Sinclair can not gather on right boundary.

Although ostensibly this makes our score less impressive, I find it reassuring - we weren't beaten on scoring shots after all.
