I would take Jack straight from the commentary box and he would still perform better.

Hampson was still shithouse after he went to Specsavers. lol
Watching those highlights I think I can see why Koschitzke might be dropping a lot of marks. He appears to be grabbing at the sides of the ball. A really good example of the best way to mark a footy in your hands in Naitanui at about 3:25 in this clip...
He doesn't grab at the sides of the ball but just puts his hands behind the ball, his two thumbs touching, his palms are facing the ball.
You can see in the next still his hands remain behind the ball, nearly the whole football is showing on top of his hands, one grab, perfect...
Compare that with Koschitzke, hands apart looking to grab the sides of the ball:
in the next still you can see he brings his thumbs together which is good but his hands are not almost flat behind the ball like Naitanui's, Kozzy is already trying to close his hands around the ball before it touches his hands.....
He holds the mark in the end but the ball bobbles due to him grabbing at the ball....
You can then see when he eventually holds it his hands are a lot further forward on the ball than Natainui's, with less of the ball showing.
If I could speak to Koschitzke I would say never try to catch the sides of the footy. Just put your hands quite flat behind the ball and let the force of the ball moving close your hands around the back of the ball. It is the same as taking a catch in cricket. The concept is not so much to grab the ball but to intercept its path by placing your hands behind and/or under the ball, depending on its trajectory.

If you've ever seen a photo of Megan Gale you'd never question Hampson's eyesight.

Shouldn’t practice Playing with the sides of his balls is what you really meant.
Most tall forwards are shite in the VFL pretty much. I'm only slightly pumping his tyres because he's all we have at the moment and if he keeps presenting that is half the problem solved. Nice if he clunked a few, but like all average players they have a good game occasionally, let's hope it's this week.

Na needs to go back to basics aus kick style
Don’t even try and use your hands use your arms to force it into your chest that way it won’t bounce out 8 times a game that we see with him
Groupie_
time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
wouldve kicked 10 against west gurls last week with zero training

why his team bears?
Ti you say it as it is....and you are right sometimes too
one of them is a natural talent though.
Ned Ryerson
Future Captain
Pardon the intrusion, but thought I would shed some light - he was originally drafted as a KPD and was selected as an AA fullback at the U18 carnival in his draft year. A couple of years ago after witnessing what you poor souls clearly are now also witnessing I asked the question of track watchers on our forum why he couldn't be swung back in defence again (he had started playing at Box Hill there before Clarko did his inevitable switch the KPP trick that so often never worked) and I was informed that he wasn't cut out to be an AFL-level defender and would only ever make it as a forward. Hopefully for your collective sanity he can come good - but outside of 6 goals in a practice match versus Norf and then soon after kicking 5.3 against Adelaide back in 2021 he has never really delivered much else.

People might not like it but Kosi probably comes straight back into the side after dominating the vfl ….. either Naismith makes way or Kosi and Naismith play alongside each other with Lafau

He didn't dominate LM. Three of hi 4 goals were from turnovers above the ground and he was caught miles behind his opponent and was gifted three. His opponent had nearly 30 possessions . His best work was actually in the ruck playing a kick behind the play. Sadly he's just an ok VFL player at best.

He's a spud.
I'd rather see one of our defenders go forward – even if thats Grimes.

It was esily his best game, but he didn't dominate. Ryan should come in before him.
