It'd help a helluvalot Morgs if players would just concentrate on kicking drop punts inbetween the 2 big sticks! Concentrate on the point of release, the ball drop , and the follow through on the kick, could be 3 very simple things they could do.
This 'kicking around corners' carp, and banana kicks, etc - well..., it signals deficiency in the ability to kick a perfectly normal drop punt like they've been taught since they are 7 yrs old, rather than a 'special skill'
From a cricket background, its akin to a "Ryan Campbell 'Wow' shot one kneed, spreadeagled, back over the keepers head", where as, a Mark Waugh/Dean Jones very simple & safe legside glance, from off stump, could be just as effective, and hit to more variety of positions.
Its taking a lot of risk in comparison to doing something much simpler & more effective.
And its over complicating the skill set. Rather than just focusing on 1 very simple routine, reapeating & rinsing, they are dividing their goalkicking practice time into 3 or 4 different skill sets & routines.
It aint rocket science, and both Fyfe & Lobb should be sorting things out a lot quicker than they are. It should never have got to this point for both of them! It really is quite inexcusable for high paid, experienced, professional footballers.
Has Dave Mundy ever done a kick around a corner or off the outside of the boot set shot for goal? He probably has, but it'd be rare, and, there is a very good reason why.... he can kick perfect drop punts.!!
And with all the sports scientists & sports psychologists around the place, I am stunned that these goal kicking deficiencies are exhibiting themselves.
