Gonna play devil's advocate here. When do we start to worry about Gus' disposal by foot? Noticed it a lot against Adelaide and had some howlers again today against the Doggies.
He's still offering more than Tyson though.

He’s brilliant by foot. Sometimes tries too much, that’s decision making, not kicking. He’s a fantastic kick. Nothing to see here!Gonna play devil's advocate here.

Of course he's brilliant by foot. I'd argue the vast majority of AFL listed players are amazing kicks, in ideal circumstances. If it's a decision making or mental problem then it means his kicks aren't effective and he's not a brilliant kick in match day conditions.He’s brilliant by foot.

Lyon was right today on commentary -- it's laziness, or maybe more accurately not doing absolutely everything to put yourself in the best position to execute. He is technically a great kick, but even the best kicks in the game are going to turn it over if they always kick off one step, swing their foot across their body rather than taking the time to straighten up, etc. These are things that are fine when in tight but inexcusable when you have time and space.Gonna play devil's advocate here.

Sorry Capt, I fundamentally disagree. I think he’s a really good kick and more often than not is capable of pulling off more difficult kicks than the average AFL player. I definitely agree that he has a few stinkers when he, in my opinion, gets a bit cute with it because he knows how good he is. But I think it’s nowehere near being a problem.Of course he's brilliant by foot. I'd argue the vast majority of AFL listed players are amazing kicks, in ideal circumstances.

The fact is he's turning the ball over when there isn't much pressure and in dangerous places.
39 touches today is nothing to scoff at. A good sign for the club is they were mainly uncontested meaning he's excelling as the outside midfielder we've been craving. But if he's going to play that role, he needs to be clean with his disposal.

I'll meet you half way and say he's an unreliable kick. The gap between his best and worst is very large. I can't call him a good kick when the ball doesn't go where he wants it to go. Fundamentally simple truth there.Sorry Capt, I fundamentally disagree.

Except that I would argue that most of the time it does, that’s where we differ the most.I'll meet you half way and say he's an unreliable kick. The gap between his best and worst is very large.

Biff made the ‘dud’ call about this time in Jones career.Lets wait until he plays 250 games first before topkent becomes biff 2.0
You're not wrong on that point. My concern is this lack of effort on occasions is acceptable now. But if he doesn't improve it, it's the type of problem which over time infuriates coaches and stalls careers.Except that I would argue that most of the time it does, that’s where we differ the most.
It's laziness pure and simple. Kicks too often on his left when he has time to straighten and use his right. Complacency call it. It'll fix as he matures
Probably stays where is, can't see Goody wanting to change the midfield setup if it's working wellAny chance Brayshaw moves back to defence now with lever out? Or has he cemented that wing role?

Our backline was still very solid before we got lever, I think we will manage without needing to change much. Still a big loss though.Any chance Brayshaw moves back to defence now with lever out? Or has he cemented that wing role?
