Whats with the WCE when they play away... they seem to be a lot less accurate in front of goal... Its 1/2 time against Melbourne and the Eagles Could easily be 3 or 4 goals further in front with some straighter kicking.

At least we are still in front at this stage.

#1 attack in the league this year :)

See your point though. More accuracy will come as the forwards develop.

I'd say, without looking at the stats, that after Sampi - Cousins, Judd and Embley would be our most innaccurate players. Their kicking on goal at times has been rather poor.
 
Bit unlucky with Cousins kick hitting Edwards in the head. Which was clearly over the line!

Also Lynch totally misses and then can snap them from everywhere. One day Edwards will tear a game apart its amazing that he has only played 3 games. I would love it if we could beat the Roos at Telstra Dome in 2 weeks. I hate the stupid dome, especially the way we play there.
 
Here's the stats on the top 10 goal kickers with behinds -

1. Phillip Matera 25.13 (Fine for a guy who takes plenty of snaps)
2. Quinten Lynch 20.11 (Pretty much fine, kicks most but would have a few out on the full)
3. Andrew Embley 19.18 (Probably not up to scratch in my book)
4. Ashley Hansen 17.11 (Not bad)
5. Ashley Sampi 13.17 (Not good enough, missed some montys)
6. Chad Fletcher 12.7 (probably about average)
7. Michael Gardiner 11.4 (Good)
8. Dean Cox 11.3 (Good)
9. Ben Cousins 10.7 (Has missed a fair few he should have put away)
10. Chris Judd 9.17 (Bad and frankly we know he can do better than that, his finishing at times hasn't been 'Judd-esq')

Thoughts?

Judd needs to have a BIG Judd game. Do like an Akermanis today - Get 30 possies and kick 6 straight. Possinly next game V Carlton.
 
Would be interesting to look at those stats split between home and away.... maybe I was just frustrated at Cousins (who's in my work FF team) as I could have used goals instead of points.
