Zondor said:I wonder how much time Drew has spent on his kicking at goal? Has Dean assigned an assistant coach to help him out with his technique? Improvement is possible with practice.
vlad76 said:The goals stats are somewhat misleading as Petrie kicked much more in 2003 than he has last 2 years.
Currently he is behind the goal a game ratio which is the least we expect from a player of his type and position.
However, he is showing clear signs of a form reversal. He is not kicking goals, but anyone watching him this year would see that he was closer to taking contested marks each week, and finally took some last week.
His kicking seems to be extremely confidence driven. He can kick them well, as he has shown with some set shots (eg Adelaide game), but as soon as his first one goes asray, he starts shaking in the knees each time he has a set shot. And the closer they are, the more he is afraid of making a mistake.
I reckon that's fixable. That's where good part time coaches (eg Carey at Collingwood) can do a lot.
First off, Reiwoldt has kicked 170 goals for his career.
Second, Drew's performance of the past 4 weeks has been vastly different to the performance of 03, 04 or 05;
Fourth, the 04/05 performances showed a big guy that had little to no impact on the AFL and should have been playing VFL footy a lot more often.

Yep. Keep up the good work there mav.mav said:well that stuffs my argument, Drew is shyte!! (i'm sure I read he kicked his 100th in his 99th game, oh well!)

Thank god someone in this thread knows what they are talking about.
If you wanna compare Drew with someone go to the following site and compare Drew with Ben Holland. Drew has kicked 2 for the year and his biggest ever bag is 4.

Zondor said:You suggested that Drew Petrie takes contested marks for us. That aint the case mav. OK the guy has ability. He tackles well for a big guy. Constantly chases. Presents well from CHF by constantly leading. As for his ability to take a contested mark. It is somewhat non existent.

Yeah, the goals need to come from Drew, but I think he is growing in confidence every week and hopefully that will start to impact the scoreboard with some goals from the big fella.
If Drew starts to realise some of that potential we saw in his first couple of seasons, we might just have a player to build the side around.
Crap hey? Briedis check it out for yourself.Briedis said:That is crap. Drew has taken heaps of contested marks this season, including some excellent ones just last week.

He took half of his contested marks last week.Briedis said:Thanks for the stats. As I said, he took heaps of contested marks last week (4 as it turns out) and seems to be around the average for CHFs in that stat so far this season as well. Only Riewolt an Brown are ahead of him, no shame in that. Still needs to start putting some pressure on the scoreboard as I sai before though. But that should happen as his confidence comes back.
I think some of my favs were those two or three mark in the dying minutes against the Dockers at Manuka a couple of years ago to win us the match. Looks to be getting back to that type of form. Can definately take a contested mark.
F/D said:He took half of his contested marks last week.
So he took 4 in 7 weeks.
Not good enough.
He is improving, still hasnt played above satisfactory this season though. Do you honestly think he is the answer to solving our problems at CHF?Briedis said:Point was though that he is improving, which is good right? Or do we just bash him anyway when he plays well?
Considering that most teams only average 7 or 8 contested marks per game this season, and he has taken 4 in one game, perhaps we can just give some credit when a guy plays well for a change.

I just hope we nab a key tall this draft. Plenty on offer who all have more takent than Drew.
