I’m not worried about that. It’s the 4 quarters of squibbing it prior to the kick.
That distance wasn't beyond his normal kick, he just had to kick through it normally rather than trying to get some meat on it. Dropped it sideways and that's all she wrote.
Also that’s a huge call to get off BigFooty in 15 years or so I’ve seen some of the most horrific freezing cold takes and posters live to post another day lol.
Lacking big game experience.......
Tried to take the cover off it and it went awry.

There is lacking big game experience, then there is a kick after the siren on tired legs at the edge of your range.

He didn’t go through with his usual routine with that funny half step before ramping up.
100%.
That said, it wasn't a great game from him. I've been a fan/defender of his quiet games because usually he has brought other players into those games, even when he hasn't got much of the ball himself. Today that didn't really happen, it was a genuinely poor game, but not because he missed a tough shot after the siren. And he was far from alone being poor, so no pile-ons necessary.
I would be interested to see what would happen if we gave him a bit of a run down back. He's pretty good at edging out his man, he just doesn't finish it off, which is less of a concern for a defender, and he's a terrific user of the ball in general play. Could give him a bit of confidence.

Still think his place in the side despite winning most weeks in doubt
He just doesn’t do enough and his contest work is terrible for a big bloke
That’s not an age thing either

I know, just having a little poke about being dropped for the granny
I won't have a crack at him for the kick. It happens.
He’s got to get some c**t in his game.

would still prefer Reid if he was available even after missing a season

I think he was worried about his line, seemed like he asked the umpire about it

He wasn't bad today, seems a lot is about him missing the shot.
His third quarter was a bit average, but the rest of the game I thought he worked quite well.

He worked hard, some of his work to provide an option at half back for our under the pump defenders was excellent, but he wasn't able to impact in the air or on the ground. Usually he gets at least one of those right.
It wasn't an absolute shocker, but it was possibly his poorest game this year. That said he's in good company with Warner, Heeney, Grundy, Gulden, maybe McCartin?
Yikes seriously? Reid hammy/calf could go in the first 5mins of a final.

There were maybe three occasions where he tried to tap the ball on over his head.
I hope the coaches tell him we’d prefer you to take the ball and if tackled so be it but we’d prefer to to try and take possession try to use it
As far as the shot goes. He was so worried about running past the man on the mark. He spent 15 seconds talking to the umpire to get a handle on the rule. But we really needed someone to say just kick your regular shot and do it over the mark.

his physical presence isn’t an age thing

He’s a lead up forward. I doubt he’ll ever be a strong contested player- his development remains ok but like you I wasn’t super happy with some of the contests against the red headed kid.
But anartry was equally anonymous and McLean was smashed in the last.
I think he’s not super suited to the kick on his head football and I’d actually sometimes like to see him told just spoil it over the boundary
In the first half McCartin was beaten cold three times. Heeney is playing damaged. Best game the big Freo boy has played in years. Kept our guys out of the game.
Positives, he took two marks inside 50 late in the game. Had 5 disposals in the last which was the best of our talls.

Horse thought Logan played well, said shouldn't come to the final shot.
Reckon he signs this week.
