He's kicked 27.18 this year. Surely that can't be correct that he's put 23 out on the full? Or are they counting if he kicks from 60 and it ends up top of the square as a "shot on goal"?
No they count a shot on goal. Otf, don't make the distance, complete shanks. He's shanked almost as many as he's kicked. That's real.

I still don't believe the stat but am far too lazy to disprove it.

Yeah I’d trust Bont over Trac when kicking for goal every time tbh. Straight kicking will almost certainly decide the game IMO.
That's fair.
 
Clutch means to seize big, match winning moments, not overall accuracy for a season. Not every shot or goal is clutch. He’d be low down the list of players I’d want to be taking a shot after the siren for the game, but he’s kicked some important goals along the way.

Its true that Trac isn't super accurate in front of goal - but he goes for everything, which can serve to keep defenders on their toes. You'd always rather he keeps going for them instead of not, because the threat of that boot alone means defenders have to think about whether he's going to have a crack from 60m or not.

In our second game against the Dogs this season he sprayed at least three out on the full and one failed to make the distance.

Clarry is the true clutch king - always goes up a notch when needed, dominates fourth quarters.
 
said to TK and Bluelegs in a PM at half time that its up to our star studded midfield to prove they are up to the hype. Big boy time.

Clutch Trac, very clutch. I tip my cap.

Seeing as we are ball tickling I said to you guys we would fall asleep in the second and come back in the 3rd


Might have wavered when we got to 19 down

I've insulted him a lot this year, inc. during the Brownlow. My bad.

How ****ing big dog was his energy after he ran down Macrae. Just bounced straight back up and went for the footy to take his free kick, without a single emotion on his face. GIFfable.
