Opinion Burtons goal kicking

[gbrussell]

If they don't have the "fade" option in their kicking arsenal it makes sense to use the natural curve to your advantage

The other good thing about those left and right foot goal kickers in that team, was that they were the half and the five eighth.

We could position the leftie on the left side of the ruck, and the Right footer on the other, to confuse the markertrying to charge down. Their kicking foot is then further away from the attempted charge down.

Our dummy half also had a decent kick on him, and was also used as a variation. He was a good reader of the game and we gave him the right to decide who was going to kick in general play.

If we keep Burton as we hope, my thoughts are whoever is the 7 should be a right foot kicker, and Reed Mahoney has to take the pressure of them both.

How so ?

They kick with different feet is the simple answer

And in terms of shooting for 40/20s they can use the natural hook to their advantage
I don't know why Burto isn't putting a speculative shot at 40/ 20 early in the count with the fox chasing

And that makes a difference to a coach ?

 

[ILiveForDib]

What I thought earlier in the season was that there’s no point having someone else kick might as well focus on Burtons kicking since he’s a long term half.

Hes improved alot however probably is our best option now.

Presumably,yes it would

 

[billy beane]

Presumably,yes it would

I would have thought the basics remain the same.

 

[silva]

It just shows how much he works on his game

If that were true everyone would kick with both feet then

Wut

i fuckin love the karnt

Of course he's a slick goal kicker but you need two or three sharp shooters in a side in case he's not there.
Nick Meaney was like 98% get him back

 

[Bulldog1966]

Definitely getting better, pretty sure he is taking a bit off power wise and using a bit more finesse.
Flanno struggles to get the journey from the sidelines Burto can bang them over at about 80% of full juice.
Someone mentioned Holmes, he is a very clean striker of the ball.Doesnt play a position requiring it but I'd suggest were he a kicker in general play he could roost skyscrapers too.

The club can produce top notch goal kickers.

Having both Hazem and Halligan around no doubt helps.

Surely we should always have the best goal kickers in the comp! Lol

 

[D0GMATIC]

Wut

And use the natural advantageous curl to the open side of the goal,rather than curling the ball away from it. . . It's not rocket surgery.

 

[flamebouyant]

He uas improved massively in a pretty short space of time TBH. He has the potential to become one of the best goal kickers in the comp at this rate. Its another string to his bow.

He strikes it beautifully.

 

[flamebouyant]

He strikes it beautifully.

He certainly does. Rmember when he first staryed kickibg for us though? He would shank them when he was only 5m wide of the posts. Now he 8s nailing them from both sidelines. Massive imorovement in just 2 months!!

 

[D0GMATIC]

He strikes it beautifully.

Not from left to right though

 

[doggieaaron]

Apparently halligan working with him ,just sign him up gus
