Who are you talking about, Taberner or Lobb? Or both? Taberner (66%) measures up ok compared to other forwards, with Lynch (61%), Buddy (59%), Riewoldt (63%), Kennedy (64%) all with worse goals:behinds ratios. Lobb (59%) could use a little more improvement, but he is a big confidence player and was more accurate in 2016-2017 (66%) when he was flying.We also have forwards who aren't reliable shots on goal and haven't been over their whole careers. Some of them may improve slightly due to the additional coaching resources allocated to that area which'll help as well.
Can confirm training has commenced at Cockburn!No training at freo oval today..

The club needs to get on top of letting fans know. It would be simple to provide an instagram story and just as easy to put a banner on the website letting us know. I booked a meeting in freo this morning specifically to go to training. Should have known better from Snuffaluphagus experiences.
If he did that, it would be found out pretty quickly and opposition teams would defend against that side - both his direct opponent and those pressuring the ball carrier. He would be better off utilising his time focusing on improving his accuracy on his 'weak' side.It would be great to compare Taberners accuracy from left and right side of the ground. He uses his natural left from the right forward flank and goals much more than from the left forward. So much so that his leading patterns should be the the side that favours his kicking style.
Tabs is Jekyll and Hyde in front of goal. Never confident with him lol. He's either on point or diabolical. Not much in-between.Who are you talking about, Taberner or Lobb? Or both?

Hopefully we can get Darcy more forward too?
20 goals a season from the big unit could be special.
Hi All
Has there been any further news on Will Brodie's injury from yesterday? Nothing on twitter
If so I guess it all works out in the wash with that Jekyll/Hyde method for him really, being 2/3 Jekyll and 1/3 (or less) Hyde.Tabs is Jekyll and Hyde in front of goal. Never confident with him lol. He's either on point or diabolical. Not much in-between.
Gets mentioned here. Rehab group.
I'd more like to see Tabs accuracy on anything sharper than a 45 degree angle compared to his accuracy dead in front.It would be great to compare Taberners accuracy from left and right side of the ground. He uses his natural left from the right forward flank and goals much more than from the left forward. So much so that his leading patterns should be the the side that favours his kicking style.
Sounds more precautionary. Does he look hampered?Watching training now, I can confirm the above.
We tend to turn on the players regarding goal kicking accuracy, but those stats suggest a more complex scenario. 8/10 had a significant decline (6/8 if we exclude Frederick and Serong).I'll just add that this year our top 10 behind scorers were
Career accuracy prior to 2021 2021 Accuracy
Fyfe 58% 22%
Colyer 51% 44%
Lobb 62% 51%
Schultz 61% 56%
Tabs 65% 68%
Darcy 40% 50%
Walters 65% 56%
Freddy* 40% 33%
Serong* 66% 44%
Cerra 42% 33%
Most of them went backwards with their accuracy this year

Who's Roy?Was hoping to watch more match Sim today, but not to be. The entire session was all skills based with focus on mids training midfield drills, same for defenders and forwards. Couple of other drills mixed players into different groups. Main takeaways:
1. Mundy and Fyfe in all drills, with Fyfe looking a little rusty today.
2. Brodie, Aish, Sunny, Schultz running laps separately from the main group but all look to have only minor issues.
3. Roy completing drills on his own with 2 trainers and both he and Amiss are certainly being treated carefully - neither appear injured.
4. Treacy in main training doing all drills.
5. Sturt with tape on left knee and not running at top pace, however it was good to see lecras and Graham working 1-1 with him on some leading drills. In these drills Sturt's movements were much improved, but he didn't partake in all drills.
I hope to get there on Friday and report back on some match sim.
