Kicking
« on: April 05, 2014, 08:27:18 AM »
Something that really struck me about the Hawks last night was how bloody good their kicking (and hand balling) was under pressure.

While the Dockers were poor in the first quarter, I thought they amped up the pressure on the ball carrier through that 2nd quarter and the Hawks system was just awesome because it was so well executed - particularly by foot.

I reckon that was one of the reasons we beat the  Dockers at the G last year and when we do play well, our kicking game is normally very good.

Today, first hands on the pill and our kicking needs to improve - we haven't hit our straps this year in this area.

Agree, moving it on quickly helps enormously. Often, they are simple low risk kicks bc of their hard running to space. First option bang, Give and go, give and go, wreaks havoc with opposition zones.
