Forget rotations, zones, clusters, floods hard ball gets etc......
Footy is simple. If your disposal is spot on you will win. St Kilda won last night b/c they kick to perfection. The fewer clangers and turnovers the fewer goals you will concede
Every year the team that kicks the ball best wins the flag - If you hit targets you can work your way through any zone, flood or any other defensive tactic your opposition coach sets up.

Unforunately most players at Carlton have terrible foot skills even when they kick to a player its often on teh wrong side and gives defenders a chance
how does an AFL player miss a target by foot who is 30 metres away by 10m????? It doesnt matter how good a runner you are or how courageous you are u will lose if you cant hit targets.

For god's sake do not turn yet another thread into a vendetta against Ratt's coaching.

You have had a go in plenty of other J&K...

So the Farren Rays or Dane Swans or Brett Kirks of the world are better kicks than the Murphy's and Gibbs of the world...why do the kicking hacks I named seem to be effective at their clubs and our No 1's seem lost at ours...Is it the player? Or is it something else? Me thinks it's something else....

Don't test my patience tonight...after that game it's pretty thin!

No Probs Mrs Caz but aren't you getting sick of the open vendetta people have against our playing list also....we have serious talent on that list and it is being wasted...

Unfortunately we will need to endure a bit more frustration and unhappiness before things start to improve.

Don't think it's that simple ... disposal efficiency and execution is as much about technique as it is about your teammates working to make space to give a clear target, blocking and shepherding to give the player space and time to execute, clear team rules so the ball carrier knows what to execute and doesn't 2nd guess.

The good teams work for each other, the Blues didn't tonight.

Just about the smartest thing on here in the last 12 hours.

Sorry, that's crap. St Kilda won because Collingwood didn't know how to kick goals.

well, one might say, thats the very essence of his post?

saints took their chances, collingwood didnt.
