I don't believe there is a direct link between footskills in general play and goal kicking accuracy, given that our player with the best footskills in general play (Bontempelli) is also our worst for accuracy when kicking at goal.
Even though he’s been terrible in front of goal this year, Bont probably isn’t the greatest example. He has a terrific set shot routine and kicking style when going for goals. He’s is just a terrible case of yips.
There may not be a link, but i reckon in our case where we aren’t the most skilful by foot there’s a big chance there is.
