Garrick's goal kicking

[Tomay]

It wouldn’t be a post-ridge Manly side without feeling nervous every time we have a shot at goal. You’ve got to embrace it.

 

[Woodsie]

He is an 80% kicker ... so talent is not the issue ...

But as a world reknown expert on kicking ... I can tell you that to approach the ball just shy of straight .. and attempt to kick around the ball is the height of stupidity .... it concerns me that he ever entertained the notion that it would be successful ... it frightens me that he was unable to work this out after his first miss ....

I hope this was just an aberation or an inner ear malfunction .... because if he has been practising a "new" style .. we are doomed ... doomed I tell you ....

 

[Tragic Eagle]

He won’t miss on a Saturday.

Im aussie to the bone.. 1st fleet

 

[Brissie Kid]

DCE still practising his goal kicking?

I wonder who was the first person to use the word 'verse' to mean oppose? It's suddenly entrenched in footy vernacular.

Shakespeare. Or possibly John Milton. They were both known to verse their opponents - usually with verse.

Twas shyte is exactly what I would have said being a pom....

They dropped Latin lessons from schools a long time ago! The one that drives me nuts is those saying 'on mass' when they mean 'en masse' from Latin and French.

 

[Under the Sticks]

That's kind of the point I was trying to make. Killer quite often missed those kicks that look easier - not in front, not out wide - and nailed the sideline ones..
Maybe he should tell the try scorers if ya can't get it under the posts, score in the corner wouldya so if I miss it doesn't look as bad.

you know where i think it should be placed....

 

[Deleted member 26876]

I don't see the harm in having dce kick the close ones and Garrick the ones near the sideline

We'd legit get 90% of our goals

 

[jbb/james]

He looked to be overthinking it. He was choking it

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

**** I hope he’s on today because he’s going to bloody well need to be!!

 

[maxta]

Lets score a try.... then worry about it....unbelievable start with Eels getting the mandatory 5 sets on Manly line !!

 

[Mitch]

Reuben has been super solid out there again to restart the season, but i would love to see some confidence back when taking the kicking tee. Difficult kicks with both of Jorge’s tries but he was nailing them last year.

 

[globaleagle]

Proper preparation prevents poor performance.

It's not as if he can't go out and practise.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

His goalkicking won us this match, so that's a good comeback for him after what happened a couple of weeks ago. They weren't all hard kicks, but the pressure was really on for those last two penalty attempts, so that's a pretty good sign. Well done

Not just footy, you hear kids saying it all the time - ‘we versed them at netball last week’ or ‘when I verse you next time I’m gunna win’. It’s bloody annoying!
