Palmer's Kicking

[dockers_bengals]

IMO his kicking only became a problem when he became tired a few weeks before the mid year break before that he was over 80% accuracy I'm sure.
Apart from the set shots on goal his kicking looked good off the boot,just fell short or overshot

So, Palmer is a young player who has something he needs to work on.....

Here is the list of players from the same draft who don't;















None of them won the NAB Rising Star.

That's a good point.

Fatigue in matches and his huge work load/rate cannot be overlooked as a contributing factor to his disposal efficiency.

He was a first year player with huge responsibility and high requirements for his work rate.

From my own playing experience (well not exactly AFL level), games in which I would work my guts out, after a while my accuracy would decrease substantially. I think if you had seen him in his first season with far less responsibility, he would probably have had fewer possessions but greater efficiency.

Give him time and with further skills training, experience etc. his disposal will balance out better with his work rate.

Also I thought Reasonable was a potential for another pav clone, considering his early posting history I definitely wouldn't call him an Eagles sock puppet.

His kicking is fine. Is more of a quantity over quality type and thats fine.
