Re: I'm sorry but Urquart is not a good kick

The first was bullshit because he had two blokes standing by themselves. Reall y disappointed in that effort.

He had to go for that goal. That's what we've been crying out for Wells to do for years. This sort of stuff is what our next 9 weeks should be all about.

Re: I'm sorry but Urquart is not a good kick

He is a very good kick.

He isnt mate. Training doesnt count. For all the hype he is a poor kick under match conditions.

At the moment he is. Last year he was outstanding by foot, but his indecision and general lack of confidence has hurt him since the Port game.

He'll be right.

Re: I'm sorry but Urquart is not a good kick

Funkyzeit got in early.

How many running in to the open goal kicks did he squib today?

2?

The second one didnt even score.

It wasnt a matter of decision making and game plan. It was not being able to execute a kick he should be nailing.

Now Giansirucusa and Eagleton may be skunks who wouldnt put their head over the ball or go in for a contest to save themselves, but they'd never squib 2 of those kicks.

cooney too

I hope so NB.

I hope that may be part of his problem with the confidence. If his best asset isnt working then its only natural you would have some doubts.

Re: I'm sorry but Urquart is not a good kick

He is not a bad kick, but his disposal is overrated on this board.

I agree about the Wells comment, but just not sure if it was one of those situations. I'm all for these guys taking the game on, but when you can draw a player and give off to one of two options who would then be able to run right in, or have a shot from around 50, I would prefer the give off and an almost certain goal.

Maybe Urquart is just out of form, but one of his biggest problems at the moment is it seems he thinks he is a great kick. And while he isn't delivering, it is hurting...

Re: I'm sorry but Urquart is not a good kick

He's just pretty low on confidence I'd say at the moment.
He seems a little unsure of what to do when he gets the ball and this causes him to hesitate. He complicates things to much instead of keeping it simple.
All he should be thinking when he gets the ball is either go long to Hale or Petrie or drill a pass into Jones or Edwards ect..

He's going through a bad patch at the moment but if we can keep playing like we did today then I think he will work his way through it.
Once he regains his confidence I think we'll see him hitting Hale lace out and hopefully nailing a few from outside 50 as well.

Re: I'm sorry but Urquart is not a good kick

I think his main problem with those 2 shots at goal was that he was still running flat out when he kicked it. He needs to slow down and steady himself before kicking.

 

[tazaa]

Re: I'm sorry but Urquart is not a good kick

Let him back himself I say. Rather he have a shot than kick to Hale or Jones.

 

[NICK_ROOBOY83]

Re: I'm sorry but Urquart is not a good kick

Thought he kept running today, something he hasn't been doing much of late but his ball use in general whether it was by hand or foot was poor.

I really hope he can work though whatever is causing him to have these problems.

Urqsters kicking.......

For someone with such big raps on his kicking, I'm yet to see him kick a ball that has overly impressed me. Is it just me?

Re: Urqsters kicking.......

You and all other people who have had brain trauma post 2008 season.

He is in a hole, things aren't working right at the moment. The life blood has been sucked out of the club in the opening 12 rounds and he is one player who needs to time to get back the mojo. It is his second year of senior footy and and it isn't uncommon to have lapses during this time. More time in the middle moving forward and the assistance of Anthony, Harvey and Campbell in the ball useage stakes will ease the pressure on him.

Otherwise, he is an outstanding kick that is still learning the art of timing and the fact he doesn't need to hit a chest at 50 metres every pass.

 

[munsonned]

Re: Urqsters kicking.......

Agree Moti.

He's had a few poor disposals at top speed and needs to work on that, however it looks to me to be confidence based ATM.

What a load of crap...."Learning the art of timing"...Thats complete shit...
This is AFL not Auskick... I played country footy for 20 years with blokes that can hit you lace out...

His hitting targets lately is reserves standard at best and that was mooted as one of his weapons...Honestly his last 20 games has been ordinary ....Not the player people thought...Simple as that...

You're right, sorry. I love watching those early games of Ablett Jnr when he looked so composed and accurate with his disposal too. Guess Urqs will never get there.

Have to agree with you.

There was a lot of cases yesterday where a few players couldn't hit a target from 20 metres which resulted in a goal.

Spot on, DR.

Until he corrects his technique he will never be a good kick

Re: Urqsters kicking.......

We have never had the emphasis on skill under Laidley, I am willing to cut players some slack until 2010.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Re: Urqsters kicking.......

Yep, Urquhart can't kick to save himself. He has quite a decent support cast as well... add Simpson, Rawlings, Thomas, Ross etc.

 

[numchuks]

Re: Urqsters kicking.......

He has been Laidley-ised. Simple as that.

Compare his first few games, to his last few games this year and he has gone downhill bad. Unfortunatley his natural play and skill has been strangled out of him.

Geez, those other 5 must have been good.

Re: Urqsters kicking.......

He can kick. He tries to do too much with that's all. Damn him for taking the game on.
