Jed Anderson is usually a good kick to a leading forward, go back and watch some tape. Yes, he does have some howlers.

I think he is the worst kick in our team probably worst on the listJed Anderson is usually a good kick to a leading forward, go back and watch some tape. Yes, he does have some howlers.
Agreed. He and Turner 1 2I think he is the worst kick in our team probably worst on the list
I’m not sure what the stats will say. I reckon they both get into some highly contested situations and then let fly with a poor kick or are exhausted by the time they have a bit of space and then let fly.
However I reckon i’ve seen dumont turner and Jed do some really nice entries into forward 50 where they take the weight off the kick. Probably those three have done it better and more consistently than anyone since boomer. That’s a tough kick.
I guess I’m saying hold the faith. It’s tough to play good footy when the team are struggling.
Trust me, being critical of ones blokes kicking isn't mutually exclusive of expecting more of others. But the suggestion he has good skills is so far off the mark it isn't funny.Look, I get that Jed's use has been a bit off lately...
..But in a team that features 2x ex-Port guys picking and choosing contests, one of whom despite being arguably our best kick lazily kicks into the mark early in a game, senior defenders who have yet to work out how to execute a tackle, a young "bovine" who starts trying trick shots and one handers in party mode 5 minutes into games as if we were 80 points up with 5 minutes to go in a grand final... or a fast 200 gamer who is actually very slow.. or a collection of gifted footballers who can collectively emerge from a game with less touches than the goal umpire at the North Melbourne end..
..I wouldn't be honing in on one of the few guys actually putting in every game.

I think we are putting most of the ones you mentioned on blast already.Look, I get that Jed's use has been a bit off lately...

Dont forget to add Marley Williams to the list. Kicks mongrel torps more often then drop punts!I think we are putting most of the ones you mentioned on blast already.
There are close to 10 players who are below standard in the side at the moment.
Probably 5 players who bring a very good level of football pretty much every week and then the rest are so so.
Jed, as hard as he tries is currently a terrible kick, along with the likes of JZ, Pittard, Jmac, Lmac, Atley, cant carry them all.
Currently going through some issues suggests it is something new for himWe can't fix everything at once.
Therefore I'd be looking at team weaknesses related to application and concentration before making an example of a hardworking player who would only be a rotation inside mid/HF when everyone is available who is currently going through some disposal issues.
Also leads the old clanger count, ahead of our other butcher JZ.
You’re right, he’s an inside midfielder ranked 32nd in the league. Way below Bont, Yeo, Ablett, Fyfe, Oliver, Selwood and Cripps. Because inside midfielders play constantly under pressure.Also leads the old clanger count, ahead of our other butcher JZ.
So Jed is better than Bot, Fyfe and Cripps now is he?You’re right, he’s an inside midfielder ranked 32nd in the league. Way below Bont, Yeo, Ablett, Fyfe, Oliver, Selwood and Cripps. Because inside midfielders play constantly under pressure.
Yes, he’s had a couple poor kicks in the last two weeks but the use of his clanger count is misguided. Typically, he’s a great decision maker and as others have mentioned he usually kicks well to a lead.
But let’s making him a whipping boy because he’s kicking action may not look as authentic as others.
