People can have different views about things
Some posters including myself forget that sometimes
But to say that Russell is a good kick is just bullshit
Seriously have a good look
Was talking to a Geelong supporter who went down to watch a practice game early this year because he was interested in this Harry Taylor bloke
matured aged from WA
Obviously recruited as a substitute for Egan
Well Russell (thats my mates chritian nam

)new one thing after 5 minutes
Taylor could kick a footy properly
Its a skill that can be improved yes but some players just have it
Style, penetration, weighted kicks you name it.
And he didnt make that observation because he is a left footer
He is even happier because the guy can actually play as well
Russell is a shit kick
They come off his boot wrong
They lack penetration and their trajectory is too low
Thats why he kicks into the man on the mark too much
And does Jarusa have stats that of the dozen or so points he has scored this year how many have gone to the right
Its a fault that he hasnt corrected
He is a hard working good person and I know he would be doing his best to correct it
But to argue the point that i think he is a shit kick is absolute crap
I am 45
I know my footy
So is Russell( my mate)
He is 51
Me suspects that Ratten knows he has the job in 09
and doesnt want to make too many changes and likes Russell
Eventually as similar players step up who are better kicks, smarter Jordan if he doesnt improve will be given the arse.
The law of the jungle
