Anticipation and determination: Cripps relishing early start
Patrick Cripps can't wait to crack into the 2024 season.
Interesting story on how they may have unlocked Harry's goal kicking issues. He definitely looked more confident last night.

The Swans-Lions pre-season clash in Blacktown was already delayed to the extreme heat in Sydney. Then a power outage and a baby snake on the field caused a few more nervous moments.

I thought Harry's kicking looked fantastic last night. Running through and kicking with straight momentum instead of his usual hooking motion.
In pre season everyone shanks the odd ball though, half way through the year is when the skills really get to an elite standard for teams as they are accustomed to the speed and totally match fit. If it's a problem in round 10 I'll start to worry, right now not even slightly concerned with his

Harry's routine was much better, seemed to be more decisive in his setup
Although, thought it was still a little rushed, rather than a smooth motion
30 seconds from when you are awarded a mark/free, use the time

Despite his kicking, I reckon almost every other side (especially collingwood) would take Harry in a heartbeat.
There is a wide range of thought within the media, just like our own supporters, as to how our season unfolds

Gaz Lyon saying Mckay would be a great centre half back yesterday is actually a good idea. Wont ever happen because he’s a great forward and they don’t grow on trees, but no reason why he couldn’t be a freak in the back half

Cerra: Talent only gets you so far
For Adam Cerra, embracing connection is a big part of the Blues' success.
Not a fan of “use the 30 seconds”. Varies by player and situation (have ball, waiting for ball, umpire setting angles etc)
Old fashioned here. Once set, my attitude is let mechanics take over FLUENTLY. Use your time sometimes puts too many thoughts in heads. Back from mark, in line, balanced, GO, whether 5 seconds or 30. Kicking, including goal kicking, needs to be an instinct, albeit honed through repetition.
Harry is a natural good kick. Wasn’t a “butcher” in his first couple of years. Reportedly a manic trainer and preparer, somewhere along the way overthinking entered the equation. Bloke needs to trust himself. Rarely misses from beyond the arc. Just one option, a drop punt and kick through, steering won’t get it there.
Across the game, field kicking is better than “back in the day”, but too many spearheads have a suspect and spasmodic approach today. I get a “snap” when need to get some work on the ball, but it is too much an “out” for players with poor techniques or shaky head space.

Harry talks about his kicking on the Ben and Harry podcast and how he went through the bio-mechanics with experts and has undone years of a loss of momentum via faulty step in his run-up to re-engineer his kicking technique and it still currently work in progress .... However he is putting lots of work into it every session of the preseason thus far
