His kicking was supposed to be pretty good in the SANFL so it might be a case of him adjusting to AFL pressure and pace.  He will just get better as he adjusts to the tempo imo.  Definately has the will and application.

his kicking was alright last night......the one he had  ;D

OE posted an article someone wrote about him that said when he does a fluff a kick, he tends to fluff it badly. I believe this is the sort of thing that makes some players appear bad in the eyes of their supporters, but the bottom line is how many times you miss your targets, not how bad you look doing it.

Edwards shanks a kick and dibbles along the ground and everyone remembers it.
Martin kicks a pin point pass to the opposition and no one notices.

The funny thing is a scrubber along the ground generally means a 50/50 ball.  :lol

yes, but Dusty's misskicks generally go a long way, over the opposition zone. Stevie's scrubbers will be go about 10 meters right into the zone across the half back line. Completely throws our structures and opens us up. Very hard to recover form if they fall into the hands of the opposition.

a turnover is a turnover.

a possession gifted straight to the opposition is worse than a 50/50 contest, but that's not the point i was trying to make. 

the important thing is how many times you do it, and perception and reality are not always the same thing

you also weigh up the pros and cons of particular players, reckon dusty has a few more points in the bank than one S.Edwards. Everyone makes mistakes including our best players, difference is dusty also kicked 33 goals last year as a midfielder, that offsets the occassional turnover

Yep. Its also a percentage thing isnt it? 30 possessions with 3-4 turnovers is fine. 10 possessions with 3-4 turnovers is not.

agree fully with that, but it's a point hardly ever raised . the other consideration is how many possessions are contested rather than executed under no pressure.

I probably should have just said player A and player B rather than name any particular players.

21 possies @ 90% efficiency, 5 marks, 2 tackles and no clangers. Looks like Morris is adjusting to AFL tempo quickly.

Lock in backline for mine.

Just shows you don't need to tank and get players through first round draft picks. How many flags have Saints and Carltank won? = 0.

Just recruit wisely. No1 wanted this guy, plays with absolute 100% heart. Would take that over some absolute spastics that have been over rated for half a decade that play absolute slop week in week out..... Just a big shout out to my mate Daniel Jackson.

He can play & thats a good sign after only 2 games. l think the recruiters have finally got it right to rebuild the backline
