This WA journo is asking today who is Richmond's "don't kick it to him" player?
Oh no, don't kick it to Pav

What we also decided less scientifically but with more confidence was that each club in the league had at least one Don't Kick It To Him (DKITH) player.
I'm sure most football fans will know the bloke I'm talking about.
He's the player on your team who, when the ball is kicked towards him in acres of space, you might initially see only the flash of colour of his guernsey and "think we're on here." Then you realise it's the DKITH and close your eyes, swear, pray or do a combination of all of these things at once.
The DKITH doesn't turn it over every time he gets it. He'd have a very short AFL career if he did. It's just that the variation between his good and bad once he gets the ball is so great and unpredictable that, going by the law of averages, you'd sometimes prefer he didn't get it at all.
I'm desperately in need of some assistance from fans of Carlton, Collingwood, Hawthorn, the Gold Coast, North Melbourne and Richmond.
Also, if anyone has any all-time favourite DKITHs, I'm open to suggestions on them as well. Maybe we can come up with an all-DKITH team.
Don't Kick It To Him
Fremantle Michael Johnson, Rhys Palmer, Byron Schammer
West Coast Brad Ebert, Brad Sheppard, Tom Swift
Adelaide Richard Douglas
Brisbane Daniel Merrett
Carlton Brett Thornton
Essendon Jay Neagle, Brent Stanton
Geelong Mark Blake, Tom Hawkins
Port Adelaide Chad Cornes, Kane Cornes
St Kilda Zac Dawson, Brett Peake
Sydney Lewis Roberts-Thomson
Western Bulldogs Will Minson.

I agree that the players mentioned aren't good kicks.

Luke McGuane
There can be only one!

Luke McGuane
Yes. :yep

Troy Taylor?

Luke McGuane
He's more a case of,"don't let him touch the ball whatsoever."
-
Im sure youll find Collingwood are exempt from this list as their supporters will protest the players can do no wrong :lol
-
Grigg's a contender sometimes
-
Definitely McGuane
I wouldn't say Browne because at this stage he's not really confident enough to kick the ball, only handpass it off
-
This is such a negatively angled thread title and action, sucked in by a WA journo in order to introvert you on some negative aspect of your own team. Stuff him, don't do it, there's no winners except him. A better thread would be "who would you kick it to" focus on something positive. The group esprit has never been so high for decades, don't contribute to smashing it down by invalidating some of your own players, to hell with that.

Thursfield, Grigg & Dea.
Your post highlights how far we have to go.

Thursfield is a good kick but he only kicks it 3 times a game
-

;D it's true , his disposal efficiency stats when he plays are always up near 100% but he just very rarely gets the ball

Good god man, don't encourage JT re Thursfield.....it gunna end in tears again ;D

WTF are you on about? ??? Again? What :( ???

Did you see him last season in the seniors?
May have improved since then. Could hardly be worse.

Hence the problem. If Wil were to step outside the 'comfort zone', they'd be spraying worse than McGuane.

Given the average age and experience of the other players we have I'm not sure who else would take his spot
Astbury isn't ready to take on that level of work yet

Luke McGuane
Yes. :yep

worst kick on the list
worst handball too :lol

Yeh I did , I think he played two games and from memory he had ZERO kicks and 7 or 8 handballs in his first game. I thought he showed a bit too. Looking forward to him getting over these injuries. Might be a good player for us.
To mention his name in this thread is just a dumb call.

Maybe you should go and check your facts first or you're the one who comes off looking dumb.
He played 3 games and had seven kicks. None too many convincing ones. Looks a ropey kick to me but time will tell with a greater sample.

LMAO good one Blacky you dumb ass :shh

Check the stats my friend , I'm positive he didn't get a kick in his first game. So he played 3 not 2 games ....Frickin sorrreee !
Still a crap call to include him on this thread whichever way you want to spin it
-
LMAO good one Blacky you dumb ass :shh
:sleep
I for one think that Lukey is a great kick

Don't use this thread as a PM service. And yes, Sarge is a beautiful kick.
