I feel like you're stuck in 2017.
ROB has serious limitations with his kicking, but he only tries to do things within his limitations.
He rarely kicks out on the full anymore.

Not really, he’s not capable of 20m bullet passes, but he can kick it straightish if he’s kicking long to a pack.
If he took a bunch of shots from 35-40 so that he has to kick through the ball, he’d probably get close to 50%

Harsh, funny and....true.
BTW is ROB the ugliest kicking style in the AFL? Surely there's not anyone more unco!
Yeah ROB's always going to be a whipping boy. He's a red head with the worst kicking action in the comp. Knock knees to go with it.

Hey - We have two weeks of blissful optimism left.
For now some part of me hopes for a 97/05/12 shock the world season.
And side note - what do you expect the captain of the club to come out and say in an interview. "yeah we have a pretty shit list and next to no experience. One or two injuries and we will be terrible, but hey I am getting paid a bunch of money to kick a footy so who really cares?"....
He is definitely wouldn't be my first choice for a set shot in front of goal, but he has improved a lot in that area since he came in. His first couple of years in the side he was awful, but he is now at least serviceable. I would be ok with him resting forward for 5 minutes a quarter clunking marks and having set shots in that 0-25m range.
Please provide proof of the OOTF shots on goal and the ones that didn't make the distance from inside 50.
Right now the stats only say that he's alright at goal kicking.

The sample size is too small to prove either way using statistics.
You only have to watch him to see his a dreadful with ball in hand and has no penetration/accuracy.
Don't get me started on his unco handball technique which is also awful.

Shots at goal last year = 3
Goals kicked = 2
2020: 0 from 5
2019: 2 from 7
He's at least improved from a very low base!
Max Gawn by comparison was 16 from 41 including 8 which didn't score:
Scott Lycett
2021: 6 from 15
2020: 2 from 8
2019: 6 from 17
Are they all set shots? Are they counting snaps from out of the ruck? Can't imagine gawn being bad at set shots.

I think Nicky Noo ( can’t find her user ID sorry). Posted that he has like a pigeon toe condition
I don’t recall it being a full obstacle but something of hinderance
People will always remember that complete shank in front of goals sadly
from years gone by
Am I happy with ROB’s performance of late no
There is just no mix up in our ruck work

I agree that ROBs contested marking is his best trait, but the contested marks I remember are in the D50 or on the wings. Aren’t those marks a bit different to marks inside the F50, where he can expect to have a big direct opponent paying very close attention?

And going the big fist...altogether different situations between forward play and defensive play.
Nikkinoo is/was a she, not a he.
