I usually agree with most of your criticisms of DCE but those bombs are called cage kicks and they’re not always designed to be contested. The game has changed and a bomb is not always an attacking strategy, rather, a territorial tactic. The bombs are designed to land as close to try line as possible and the defenders are hoping to make contact with the catcher simultaneously; effectively nullifying any momentum to begin the ensuing set. Occasionally, the chase will be good enough to contest and sometimes do, but to land a more shallow bomb will often see a handling error from the contest, with the opposition often gaining possession in more advantageous positions.Don't forget the blitzkrieg of bombs from 40m out that are too deep for the chasers and go uncontested game after game after game after game after game after game ..... you get the picture. But every now and then ..... elite.
He is the Peter Foster of halfbacks
Fog or FoggyHave we got a new nickname for our incoming halfback? 😉
Creedence?Fog or Foggy

Well he has not been charged. Both incidents thrown out!Thats true but he got himself on report, which could cost us next week.
Karl? Although that's a San Francisco name and would probably make our Pridegate players nervous…Fog or Foggy
Someone earlier called him Forgery but I think that was probably an autocorrect.Have we got a new nickname for our incoming halfback? 😉
RolandSomeone earlier called him Forgery but I think that was probably an autocorrect.
Wonder if the club can arrange to play a few bars of Creedence next season every time he kicks a goal or scores a try?
I think there is an understanding of this tactic and when it needs to be used. But there is a clear distinction between this defensive tactic and our ability to turn a certain % of these kicks into opportunities to attack the ball or playerI usually agree with most of your criticisms of DCE but those bombs are called cage kicks and they’re not always designed to be contested.

Left a good job at the Raiders, working for the Stick every night and day….Roland
As in “Roland on the river”
I have no idea why we kept kicking for Saab he isn't fit to clean Daniel tupous socksI think there is an understanding of this tactic and when it needs to be used.

DCE has oku the x basketballer and proven jumper and saab outside and how often they get to compete for balls from close range because of a lack of hang time or too deep which can be another symptom from the same. Not enough ficus by the kicker to use these weapons
Dce has always had issues with his short kicking game , his grubbers close to the line hit legs and rebounds for 3 years straight before he shelved it . Happy gilmour
Classic example on the weekend chip kick to saab, clean catch …..nothing
His chip kick is gorgeous off the boot but his insight as to where it needs to land ,honestly this is not a skill he has, those wide kicks to wingers, akways too short, that vision. Its not there despite his sweet boof
I remember when dce and the shoe went to kick camp with an AFL team and there was a chez interview later was on how good it was for the shoe and his development . Man could he improve
Seibs has improved his positioning a lot , under des he was virtually kicky 90% using the bench and camera man as a shield.
I think fogerty will improve this area of our game
I'm sure that'll get a run when he has a few off games! 🤭Someone earlier called him Forgery but I think that was probably an autocorrect.

I thought exactly the same ..... that's a business failure for me.LOL - DCE & Quade Cooper. What a ringing endorsement for a sports drink. I'm expecting it's just water, hyped up and in fancy wrapping, but essentially just plain old average water that you will pay too much for. Much like the game of the 2 endorsees - average and overpaid
