The problem is his main avenue to goal appears to be roving packs 25 m or so out, from say, a boundary throw in inside 50 or some kind of F50 stoppage. That’s not a sustainable manner for a player of his physical attributes to kick a lot of goals. The goal he kicked in that final v the dogs comes to mind in 2022 as one he did get but it’s kinda rare. He’s gotten a few of these over the years but they are generally low percentage chances because there is often a couple of opposing players hanging out of him when he takes the shots and it’s easier smother his shots compared to the likes of Petracca because he’s a smaller man. That’s probably why he has so many behinds too.Serong has kicked 19.33 to date. If he could flip that around it would be a good start. Woeful accuracy.
It’s a case of see ball, grab ball, throw it on the boot in the general direction of the stocks and hope for the best. The last minute this year v port when he had that shot to win it was another example but that was a behind.
As Alfonz described well above, he’s doesn’t have the attributes to be a sustainable goal kicking mid. He’s brilliant at lots of other things you want from a premium mid but needs help on the goal kicking front from others in the midfield.
