Should Fev be hired full-time to teach our forwards, forward craft?

[Vassp]

One of the most talented forwards to ever play the game.

 

[Truetiger]

I believe it would be a positive move. He’s already at the club, so I can’t see why not.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

What can he teach what Lynch can't?

Maybe just another set of eyes to have a look at things. It can't hurt. The player/players will soon filter out what they think is not important and filter in what is important in terms of the messaging and teachings.

But I dont see a problem with Fevola helping out if he's asked to have a look.

I remember when Michael 'Disco' Roach helped Matthew Richardson with his goal kicking - in 1996 he kicked 91 goals (the year before he kicked 27.3)..

 

[Boxo004]

isn’t that why we resigned Lynch

 

[voorhees]

Would rather get matty Lloyd down as goal kicking coach, but would have no problem with Fev.
Anything to improve and fix our goal kicking is needed.
And now while our goal kickers are young.

Richie only played 9 games in 95 to be fair.

Big Sexy is no where near the kicker for goal that the fat campaigner is , Tommy is closer to Richo than Fevola, absolutely use him .

Kicking for goal is a skill that CAN be coached and CAN be improved , no different to penalties and set shots in soccer

That’s an area that has been neglected at Tigerland for many years example 1 George , the proliferation of round the corner kicks shows that very very few clubs take goal kicking practice seriously , I am willing to wager that fevola never went around the corner .im sure someone will dig up a you tube clip to prove me wrong .

Kicking is a fundamental skill that should be non negotiable

Id give him a go, think he’s finally grown up and his set shot was one of the best we’ve seen

He’s another one who never kicked around the corner

 

[SunshineBoy]

Us old campaigners can remember that the great kicks for goal were great kicks in general play as well, Peter McKenna comes to mind , Alex Jesaulenko another one our own Disco Roach , the fat campaigner BT

 

[tunksy]

Yes our accuracy is shit. Feb knows how to kick them

 

[SunshineBoy]

You see I can post sensible shit , not just funny memes

 

[Vassp]

it wouldnt be just kicking for goal, its contest marking, and leading .

Explain Armstrongs yips.
Taught by Lloyd.

Reckon it's got to do with ball.
The ball these days look fatter not as streamlined back in the day therefore affecting the trajectory of the ball.

 

[Coach_Required]

Our big kids need a lesson on how to drop the ball from the correct height, Fev was a great set shot.

Are we even trying if we aren't looking to improve these young guys kicking accuracy?

 

[Burning bright]

Fevola during his playing days garnered a nickname amongst some as the Pergola

Big, sturdy, but didn't move all that much.

More running now as well
Players are expected to get up and down the ground a lot more and someone who is fatigued or just out of breath with a higher heart rate will be more prone to lapses in technique

Dosent seem to be a problem for Cameron (kicking around the corner)

Players are coached to use whatever technique feels more natural

Some mis remembering of the past as well, yes Fev kicked a lot of goals but he also missed a hell of a lot

His career set shot accuracy is only 60%… compare that to Richo who apparently wasn’t a great accurate kick who was 59.9%

Did not know the football was on a Relton diet!

Good point although nowadays they're training full time.

 

[chriso11]

Only if we pay him in kebabs so it doesn’t hit the salary cap

I remember Lloyd volunteered to coach his former student Max King for free but Saints shot it down as they had Rough head?..... with Lloyd's connection to our 2024 crop in particular Armstrong I'd love the club to offer Lloyd some coin. I'd even offer Stevie J some coin to come in once a week and work on trick shots as our players are mostly miss when it comes to bananas or snaps.
