Lance Franklin - Worst Kicking Performance Ever?

[Upgrayedd]

He is usually decent, today has been shocking, although hes missed 3-4 easy ones, hes tried 5-6 shots which anyone would be lucky to nail

2.11

 

[Tas]

Franklin up to 2.11 now...

Re: 6 Straight Behinds - is Buddy flawed?

Nope, no 20 year old ever improved - should give it away.

Richo never did

although as bad as Richo can be he never kicked 11 points in a game b4.

[Isandula]

lol 2.11!

 

[Stenglein's a Champ!]

hes tried 5-6 shots which anyone would be lucky to nail

So you're saying he's selfish?

1.13 Dave McNamara for St Kilda v Richmond 1922
0.11 Stuart Spencer for Melbourne v Geelong 1956
0.11 Tom Allen Richmond v North Melbourne 1949
4.11 Norm Smith Melbourne v Richmond 1940
4.11 Lindsay White Geelong v North Melbourne 1941

Assuming those are the top 5 worst kicking for goal displays in history, Franklin is currently sitting in 4th for accuracy, and equal 2nd for total points kicked?

Wow.

 

[DarwinRoo]

11 behinds How many have been relatively easy shots?

 

[HFC082]

11 behinds How many have been relatively easy shots?

Re: 6 Straight Behinds - is Buddy flawed?

Can he ever become a champion, when he gets the yips in front of goal?

Richo markII.

Must be a windy day at the Dome.

He must have put them on the wrong feet. Thats terrible kicking.

He is lucky that his team is winning.

3 or 4 goal assists

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Looking through the list of inaccurate kicking for goals, there are some of the greatest names in history there. Interesting to see Peter McKenna kicked 1.10 in one match, I always thought McKenna was one of the best kicks for goal I've seen. Just goes to show anyone can have a bad day, no matter how good they are.

 

[Carlton Kid]

I can just imagine if he kicked straight. Essendon fans would be pretty dirty right now.

 

[macdaddio]

he will be a super star once he gets over all the hype.........

Well if shooting from around 50 near the boundary is an easy shot then yeah, they have all been easy.

 

[RooBuoy]

It's Official!!!

Buddy Franklin is the worst kick in the AFL.

2 goals, 11 behinds

 

[amos]

Re: It's Official!!!

2 - 11

[Strapping Young Lad]

Re: It's Official!!!

And the Bullies are well pleased he wasn't kicking straight.
13 scoring shots!

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Re: It's Official!!!

now imagine if most of those behinds were goals. it wouldve been a massacre for the bullies.

Adds a new dimension to the Travis Cloke vs. Buddy Franklin debate.
