It happened again against GC. Early in the game, Goodes and I think TDL were running into an open goal with a defender between them. Goodes tried to attract the defender then flick the handball over the top but the defender anticipated it perfectly but Goodes still went with the handball and the defender managed to stop the goal. Goodes weas obviouslt dirty on himself. But I'd expect a player of Goodes' quality to get that kind of play right, and in the past we could always rely on him to get it right.
It either points to a lack of confidence, or it suggests that Goodes is still carrying some sort of injury that's hindering him from being able to perform at his own standard. So whenever he tries something a little silky, he comes off looking slow or ordinary compared to his opponent. I don't know whether his speed has been affected, but he looks out of touch atm. I hope he recovers soon cause we need him at his best to do damage in the finals, and at present he's merely a bit-part player.
