He can whiff on it as often as he likes for all I care, no point winning palm downs when the opposition is reading them like they have been lately either, it's more the sign of intent that I think it represents that I enjoy about it. I'd be for him trying to grab it out of the air and hack kick it forward at the opening bounce also.
I get what you’re saying, but would still prefer that he make healthy contact.
Also a fan of the catch and kick.
