Sounds like a broken record (vinyl that is), and we are all witness to Hawk's superior kicking skills on the weekend. It was mal Brown who once said that Maurice Rioli would be twice the player if he became more proficient on his right foot. Outrageous some might say, the great Maurice a better player? But how true. It was with dismay that I witnessed a 200 game player be forced to kick on his opposite foot the other night, and it looked like a slapstick routine. Terrible! As juniors but surely at AFL standard players are instructed during training to absolutely kick on the wrong foot, on the run, as would happen in a game situation? Some can kick very well on their opposite foot...Walters. S Hill, Ballas, Fyfe...but it seems some have just not made it a part of their training. Shouldn't this be standard skills training for all? It is well known that using opposite side of the body enhances confidence and decision making...But, our kicking was so awful on the weekend, and we know that we have some great kickers, so what is it...confidence or simply not encouraged to take risk...
