Someone's got a crush.
Yes I am well aware that I used the same picture in RIG's election campaign.
I've got 17,553. I'm only behind Mantis, Dan26, Red+Black and Longy for the highest posting Essendon poster on BF. Where's my kudos?
You mean Jarryd_S, my old username? It's the same account, I just had my username changed by Fred.Do those figures include Jarryd's posts as well?

We should pick him up.

You should probably change your sig fishguts. I'd much rather one sixtillion, five hundred and fourteen quintillion, one hundred and thirty one quadrillion, two hundred and eleven trillion, one hundred and nine billion, eight hundred and seventy six million, five hundred and forty three thousand, two hundred and ten premierships than our measly sixteen.
I work in the TAC Cup area and it is what it is. Kids coming out of TAC Cup have a 10% to 15% improvement on skills at the most, particulary kicking.
It is different for the average kid who is not involved in an elite system. There is bigger margin for improvement there.
This is not something i have just made up as an observation. It is widely discussed at TAC Cup level and often drives TAC Cup coaches in sane when they come across kids who can play but where poorly coached early on and have poor kicking skills.
The muscles in your leg do actually train themselves to kick the same way so if you are not taught to kick properly early then you tend to kick across from right to left rather than straight through. It is not something that can be rectified.
You sight the Hawkins case well like someone else has said he is still kicking badly. I will bring up Bradley. They spent two years of special training for his kicking. They filmed him they got him coming in slowly trying to re align his kicking action but it did not work as under pressure he went back to the same style every time. Freo also did a lot of work with him in his first year over there and it is still the same.
