Training Pre Season ‘25

[Tiger2709]

Landscape has changed in regard to opposite foot kicking. Opposite foot only needs to be serviceable if you have an elite preferred. Dusty mastered the art of being able to deliver off the outside of his foot. I was watching a training session with Petracca in Noosa during the week and he was doing the exact thing that Sonsie did.

That's all good but having an opposite side has the benefit of making you harder to cover, if you know someone, even Dusty, cant kick with their opposite foot you only have one side to cover, of course Dusty will beat you either way not many if any are that good though.

Probably re-read what I wrote. Didn’t say they were one sided, I said their opposite is serviceable but their preferred is elite hence why they kick off the outside of the foot

Not having a go at your comment in particular but kicking on the outside of your natural foot is not the same as using your non natural foot, as your natural foot is likely covered by your opponent, it was one thing that annoyed me a little about Dusty.

He’s an absolute gem
I’ve asked him a few times to post on here but he’s content just giving PRE his reports

Definitely worth heading over during the pre season and following his training thread

if theres one player on our list that id call dual sided, its Sonz

hopefully he can end up our tiger version of steele sidebottom....similar in body size and silky skills

sidebottom who has never been a gazelle, a ball of muscle or a pack crasher but still a bloody good ball getter and user and consistent player.

Don’t even get me started about kicking around corners especially for goal

From the boundary, or on a really tight angle, go for it. But dead in front, or with barely any angle at all, just kick the thing properly FFS!

The only skill that never improves: kicking for goal.

The thing was, he could kick on his left. And he could do it very well, but for the latter part of his career he barely used it.
