You would think a coach that worked at Hawthorn in the middle of their three-peat would understand the value of practicing accurate goalkicking. Alas, we have have had accuracy problems the entire time Beveridge has been the coach.
We play here basically every year. We should be better than this.
Plus at least four of our set shots would have been nowhere near the goals on any ground in Australia. The technique is embarrassing for so-called professional footballers.

Same, same but no different. Yes, it is only a practice match but gee it looks a lot like the game against WCE last season. We just do not cover the ground and lack speed.

It’s the fact that it’s the same old problems that are causing people to react this way. You watch in the pre season to see if you can see some evidence of the work they have been doing to address the problems that caused us to fail the previous year. But when you see the same old issues again and again, you have to be super human to not react. Why don’t they fix these problems? Why is our goal kicking accuracy such an issue year after year after year? Why is our inability to defend quick ball movement a constant problem? Why can we never seem to have any dominance in the ruck (even when we have the all Australian ruckman)?The melts for a practice match are next level
There's a wind here. We don't play here this year and will pants them in Melbourne
Its the same old shit every year and as far as I can tell they have done nothing over the off season to address any of the issues that were very evident for the past two years.

I missed all of the reports from the VFL match today, did we have any stand outs? We’re going to need to drop 4-5 from this squad, so I hope we have a few ready to go from the 2nds.
All of our issues from one year translate into the next. We have an inability to correct major deficiencies year on year. Poor goal kicking accuracy, poor forward entries, failure to stop opposition run ons, missed tackles. The list is growing too
Only a practice game but not good signs

Stepbrothers is on foxtel at the moment - the finger is hovering over the remote. I’ve seen it 100 times, but I have also seen the doggies kick point after point on many occasions

I’ve said in another thread that the players are to blame here, they’re professionals and this is complete incompetence.
That said, we’ve been a terrible goalkicking team for basically all of Bevo’s tenure, and as it is the only stat that actually matters for win/loss then it’s mind-boggling we’re still this bad. Do we just draft and recruit bad kicks?

This is what happens when we spend all summer training in perfect conditions at a windless ground like Whitten Oval

It's like my golf, I have been slicing the ball for 60 years, Naughton and Ugle are slicers, and it is not easily fixed
Do it. I’m giving them 10 minutes of the third before I load up Napoleon on Apple TV.
It’s meant to be crap but it can’t be much worse than this.

From what the Inside the Kennel podcast guy has said
Darcy, Scott, Baker, Busslinger, Jones, Poulter, Macrae
were his bests today.
Except my guess is you’re not paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to play golf.
That AFL footballers get away with this defect is ludicrous.
I agree. Sam is more competitive in the ruck than Tim. We are soft in the middle. Like to see Westy given more an apportioning on all.
