Re: Who is the goalkicking coach at collingwood?
As much as I love backs, we really need an actual forward coach, Bucks is good with the defensive side, doing fantastic just need a Lloyd to get them in the right technique. A.Rocca obviously isn't helping us much also.

I couldn't agree more. Fair point!

Besides Cloke, It has nothing to do with their technique. It's between the ears where things turn to s**t. These guys can pinpoint a pass to a running target 40 meters out, and they do it with a seconds worth of thought. When they're about to take a set shot, they start thinking about not missing, how bad it will be in the rooms after the game when the guys are ripping him a new one do to his potential miss. How else can you explain Daisy's miss last week against the crows? Or to a lesser extent, Beams' miss against the hawks? If we don't take out the flag this year, you can bet ur ass that it will be due to inaccuracy in front of goal. We're the best team in everything else, but unless we can convert chances into goals, what will that matter? Unfortunately, we don't have the time to get in psychologists to unravel their brains this year. Next year try the psychs, the goal kicking coaching, hell, bring in a guru if that's what's needed. But in the limited time we have available now, try hypnotherapy. Get them to block out all the thoughts that are preventing them from kicking straight, get rid of all the pressure that they are conjuring up while they are lining up for goal. DO SOMETHING FFS!
Its not like it has crept up on them, they kicked 10 behinds in the last quarter against Richmond in the preseason game

On a brighter note Kosi and Roo kicked 1.3 between them, so we're not the only ones with this problem.
And to think how we started the season 8 goals 2 behinds in the first against the Dogs. Lets get that back.

if that wasn't so close to the point it would be funny.

Attach a Taser to their back, with a remote control panel in the coaches box and the taser connections attached to their nads.
Know that if you miss a gettable goal, MM is going to put 25,000 volts through your family jewels. If that's too hard, give the runner two bricks, same result.

Sounds like you had a terrific coach.
One time we kicked 4.23 and we lost by a point.
all the coach did was call every one a bunch of no good ***** and just stood there blasting us for a good 20 minutes.
Next week we kicked 3.17!
There is one alternative, if you are thirty out in a mark or free kick goal scoring situation, players turn their bodies to the side and face the goal side on and snap it. Medders did this once when he had no confidence and it worked (he was 20 out directly in front). When you snap the ball you have less room for error. When you kick it running in a straight line it can fade or go just about anywhere. It's ridiculous i know, but so is the predicament we are in.

Why would Jason Dunstall offer his services to Collingwood? He has a full time job trying to teach Roughy to kick straight.

As I told you before the Hawthorn game, we only need to kick at 50% to win our games. But we're not even kicking at 50%.
50% against Hawthorn would have been 15.15.105 and we win. Still s**t kicking, but straight ENOUGH to win most games.
We clearly can't win a flag with our current accuracy. It's borderline forfeit time, because we're not even giving ourselves a chance.

Haha, that'll teach him!

This is really starting to make me nervous..
If they are struggle to convert in the home and away season, the pressure of finals will only add to the problem.
If we go into a grand final and suffer the yips, we simply will not win.
In saying that, finishing on top ranked 14th for accuracy is a huge effort and shows the class we have all over the ground and is a credit to the backline. Kinda scary to think if we could kick straight, would have only lost 1 game if any..
Bring on the finals..
