Sort of like Max King Rounds 13 - 19

Goals - 16
Behinds - 4

Goal kicking accuracy (excluding misses) - 80%

Keep it up Maxxy

Why settle for 80% accuracy when we have a tall forward with 100% accuracy who can also play in the ruck?

I saw a graphic somewhere where last year we were no.2 in goal kicking accuracy this year l think no.14 .I think this was one reason we won a lot of games last year

That's because we kicked a lot from the goal square

When the team the team averages 87% (6/7) week in week out from set shots I for 1 will be happy to not be concerned about ball spinning during approach on a set shot - until then I see it as an issue and an obvious one to address - I don't know if it will improve our efficiency much by getting that out of the routine but I will be shocked if it makes the kicking for goal worse

King on the weekend did it a bit but he left a long period between a twirl and the kick and seemed to be doing it much less than previous weeks. I'm beginning to think the twirling really is just a product of nerves and last week he looked self-confident from the first kick so he didn't need that little crutch.

Look at the results!

And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

I think nailing that first one from 50 made all the difference.

Like for a lot of big forwards, a shot from 50 appears easier than one from 30.

Tim Membrey is running at 23.23

The worst double digit-goal kicker in the Coleman this year!

Come on Timbo!


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Yep, Membrey’s falloff this year has gone a bit under the radar
