fwiw, elton kicked 12.1 last year and 4.6 this year.
0.4 was his return in the wind last week.

im not sure i would be writing off his goal kicking and thus him as a forward just yet.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

If someone cant  kick a ball accurately between two posts that don't move, and where weighting your kick is irrelevant, how are they going to pass with precision in the backline to slice through the oppositions press?
Have you played football?
Some players are excellent field kicks but when it comes to lining up in front of goal they get nervous and lose their normal kicking technique.  Look at Richo as an example.  He rarely missed a pass when he had to but how many times would he miss from 25m directly in front!
I dont recall richo having to pin point too many passes in the backline with the entire opposition pressing up into that half of the ground.

On the other hand, players like king and mcguane, whose kicking was a liability in the backline have prolonged their careers by switching foward where these defincies are masked.

How many players, pariculrily in recent times, have been banished to the backline due to poor goalkicking and have extended their careers by doing so?

In field kicking, if your target has space, your kick can be off target by the width of the goal posts and still allow the recipient to run on to it, but it's when your pass has to be precise that sorts the wheet from the chaff. This is a requirement of modern top level football more than ever before.

Henderson
Havnt taken a lot notice of henderson, so ill have to take your wors his goalkicking had him on the cusp. How would you rate his disposal coming out of the backline?

He was quite young (still is?) so I doubt he was every really on the cusp. So I guess he doesn't really answer the question of who extended their career moving back but he was the best I could think of  :lol.
And I dunno, usually doesn't have to pin point those passes as they don't rely on him to bring it out of the back line

He should kick the most goals he's ever kicked today.

I'm predicting no less than 6 goals from Tyrone today.  :pray

Apparently this guy is supposedly clever.

He's got absolutely no footy brain whatsoever.
The footy smarts Reiwoldt has in his pinky toe nail is more than Vickery has.

I'm getting the feeling that he could be the star in footys version of Dumb & Dumber.

What a stuffing waste of a body.   :banghead

Thought he played  okay, seemed to run and present a lot however he is so big headed. I swear he never looks for another option when he is lining up for goal ( fair enough if you KNOW you are going to make it ) If there is one thing that really P's me off it is when a playe rmarks the ball and just walks away with his back to the goals. LOOK FOR AN OPTION !!! Grigg does this a lot as well.
