The basic craft, positioning, timing leads to draw the ball, techniques for beating different types of defenders, etc, has not changed and probably won't ever change.
I'd like to think that both would be smart enough to update and outdated advice.

Need to keep a running tally of outs on the full (yes "outs on the full" not "out on the fulls" - though it's bad grammar either way).
I'd hazard a guess that he is having a number of shots on goal each game which, in the circumstances of our 2016 season, has him on par with the elite forwards in the competition.

Why the * would we want a Richmond player teaching Joe how to kick? The potential for complete and utter sabotage is enormous.

Let's just model his kicking action on Tony Lockett's and be done with it. Slow deliberate approach, hold ball straight over kicking leg, kicking stride still with everything in a straight line, keep low over the ball to reduce ball drop, kick through ball, goal.
So simple. Man, the club should hire me.

Whose personal ego ? - Sounds like it was Lloyd's personal ego at play.
that's pretty interesting, hadn't heard it before. Lloyd seemed pretty genuine on one of his shoes when he said he felt too much time was spent discussing his role and camera shots of Lloyd when daniher was taking a shot were embarrassing. Maybe it was a combination. I also don't think Lloyd's ego could take the hit.
Hadn't read this post when I did my last - context of me mentioning ego was for Lloyd to associate himself with the failures of JD's kicking. But also agree he wouldn't take kindly to being told to take a back seat.
I think positioning has. These days defenders up the ground play more boundary side to trick the other team into riskier play. Used to be the attacking side that wanted the ball in the corridor. These days defensive zones are set up to try to sling shot a turnover and forwards are encouraged to lead to more defensive positions.

Speaking of Lloydy..watching replay last night and that speccy in the last qrt brought the fans to their feet. The crowd after that mark went nuts. It was great to see.
That forward running leap over a defender reminds me of the early Lloyd days and how he attacked the incoming ball in a pack.
We've waiting a hell of a long time for a genuine tall FF since Lloydy and I can't wait to see Joe explode in the next 5 years.
Good times ahead.

If...? Coulda shoulda woulda? Will he ever be an ELITEkick? Unlikely.
Will he ever be an ELITE mark. YES.
To be an ELITE forward you need to do both reasonably well eg the legend Lloydy

Pls explain how so?Shane Hird said:
His conversion rate is shizen. Not AFL standard, barely 50%
Going by AFL stats he has the worst goal conversion in the league when he lines up at goal I pretty much mark it down as a miss.
Imo instead of running in a straight line he should be allowed to come in on an arc just like Buddy when he lines ups for goal.

I'd class him as an elite kick for position, just not when he's having a set shot

He may not be able to race greyhounds much longer so he might be keen.

Yes, he had a quiet game, but one of the biggest positives for me was the fact that he was still able to contribute positively in the game shows how far he's come. As little as 3 months ago, if he had a bad game he wouldn't have kicked a goal. Very good signs.

His old man needs to take him into the backyard for a few kicks. Beautiful left foot kick.

This little pearler from the Match Day thread on Saturday would have to be one of the funniest things I've seen on BigFooty for quite some time.

That kick setting up a Laverde goal from the top of the square is one of the best kicks you will see all year #class
