AFL Round 11 v Adelaide
Got a lot of the ball and found space nicely, but his kicking was shocking. Had a chance for a goal from 50 in the 1st quarter but kicked it 20m left of the goals out on the full. Turned the ball over too many times, but was good at the clearances.

Is it just me or does his disposal get worse each year?? DOnt get me wrong, he gets the ball a hell of a lot, but by god he turns it over a lot! That first half against Adelaide was scary, it seemed everytime he got it he missed the target!

It's not just you....if he had good foot disposal he would almost be a perfect midfielder. His handballs often miss the target under pressure too.

You have to take the good with the bad. Kicking seems to be getting worst but he is our best clearance player.

Watching the 1st half on sunday I thought, Hello Joel "kickit to anyone but a teammate" Corey is back. Hadn't seen him for a few weeks, last played in the Kanga's game at skilled if I remember wrightly, and I wasn't glad to see him to be honest. Thankfully he didn't reappear after half time. Maybe JC has a split personality, the good joel and the bad joel, we certainly saw two different footy players with the number 11 on his back at AAMI on sunday.

Its the thing that stops him from becoming a superstar, he can collect the pill just as much as the guns of the comp, but doesnt hurt the opposition nearly as much.

Its been almost every week.... Even against Port Adelaide his kicking was nothing short of shocking!

I dont understand how a professional footballer can have suck poor foot skills.

i agree, his clearance work is fantastic but his disposal is nothing short of atrocious epitomised through that out on the full shot at goal.

he's not that bad, better than Tenace

[GeeCat]

Not woeful, but the epitome of a guy who's kicks are variably hit and miss.

I think alot of that has to do with his kicking action, which is pretty low percentage. His one-handed grip of the ball just allows too much room for error - when it pays off he can deliver low, penetrating deliveries, but otherwise it just shanks right off the boot.

[thegerman]

Joel wins the ball so much, and can break the lines at times. He really is impressive, would be more if his disposal wasn't so bad.

I'm not totally bagging him, as you have to take the good with the bad. He is a naturally gifted player, just lets himself down when he does everything right to win the ball to only have a 10cent finish.

If he could polish this up, he would be one of the best in the league. He is that good. I hope that his disposal can grow, and he can lead the club in the fashion I think he can.

[MrGFC]

You would have to agree it's an issue, but would also expect that he would be aware of it and hopefully working to resolve it. To make more of it doesn't help IMO, and there would be more than 1 player working on their disposals.

I think we could all agree his clearances are fantastic, but if you take him out of our game plan, how much do we really lose?

Probably more than we might think.

just my 2 cents :)

[Generalissimo]

He gets a lot of the ball from clearances, which means he's often under pressure when he gets rid of it. That doesn't excuse his poor delivery, but it is a contributing factor.

Re: Votes v Adelaide

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just went back through posts after listing votes and was a bit suprised by comments re-Corey? The man is a clearance machine and while not being our best decison maker or effective kick, you have got to reward the mongral in blokes around the stoppages!

Not everyone can be outside players, look what happended last year when some of our blokes forgot that.

If we are bagging blokes try the ones down the bottom of the stats lists not the ones who are having a fair dinkum crack.

Kids playing in a handicapped team would be a better kick then Tenace!
