I think Fyfe's kicking improved last year. I reckon he worked on it. But my point is that we know Fyfe is pretty dedicated, and he would realise that his kicking lets him down. So he would have gone out and really tried to improve his kicking. And while I saw an improvement, it just wasn't that much.
It doesn't matter what Fyfe does, he's no Caleb Daniel. He won't ever be, no matter how hard he tries. And Caleb Daniel could take 12 months off AFL and within two weeks of coming back his kicking would be better than 95% of AFL players.
But of course we need better skills, and even a little improvement is better than none. And I'm prepared to concede that in the overall scheme of training, we will improve by focussing more on skills. We have to decide what we will focus less on. Is it strength, fitness or game plan drills?
We'll be better next season than last, just because of experience. And I'm looking forward to JLo. At least I can be pretty sure we won't play less exciting football than under Roly.
