14 goals 1. Whoever kicked that point....I hope they were dropped for the next game.

I've seen the footage but that's different to being there live.
It was only a decade or so ago that he was one of the most talked about players in the competition. If I remember rightly the Tigers' Joel Bowden did much to raise Rushed's profile, but then the AFL stepped in & he went back to being barely spoken about again.

Hmm, I manage just fine. Maybe your blue-tinted glasses need a new prescription?
I was at the game with some mates, can confirm he's an excitement machine.
Hope he continues to play well... but also hope * manage to lose every game.

Would love to have more than 4 players with a 14 goal season
Harry McKay should take a look at how his namesake Swan McKay kicked through the ball with every shot on goal. Kicking from 30-35m out (forget Mike Williamson's 45 metre call, he was prone to exaggeration) each kick went through above goal post height & carried a further 10m or so.
Wow virtually every one of those 14 goals resulted from a long bomb into the forwardline pity its not so effective these days .
Was so smooth and graceful. Swan always did everything at the highest point whether it was marking in the back or forward lines and as you have indicated, kicking for goals no matter how far out he was.
Most of today's players get into bad habits when kicking for goals. I always say, pick a spot behind the goals, but at it's highest point, not at goal umpire level

Swan was shown how to kick for goal by Big Nick.
The kick they used was the simple flat punt rather than the drop punt. Quite a few players used it back then as they felt it was a much more accurate kick, especially on windy days.
I still reckon players should try the flat punt for goalkicking today.
I think the balls were different and perhaps heavier. It changes the whole dynamic of kicking.
We’re getting into the realm of theoretical physics here.
Don’t get me started on goalkicking and kicking in general.

I'd like us to kick 14 in a game and a win would be nice..
With how poorly so many current AFL players execute the drop punt in front of goals, I do wonder why they aren't coached to kick a flat punt, particularly for those kicks on goal from 35m out or less. This seems to be the distance from which many players frequently miss. Someone like Cripps, who struggles at time to kick what should be relatively easy goals could do worse than have a go with a flat punt.

Devon Smith “ managed” for a chronic knee condition that he arrived at Essendon with.....I said at the time I was happy he chose them and it would only be a matter of time before this injury caught up with him.
