El Hodko's goal kicking has been a fun feature of the game and bonus lately. Hopefully he keeps the job for the rest of the season and keeps up the high percentage. He's doing better than Goodwin or Inu when they got the job and they were pretty good.

it's uncanny how we keep finding excellent goal kickers, whilst some teams haven't had a good one for ages, eg: Brisbane.
Couldn't help but notice how Parker has really dropped off. Use to be a lot better than how he's going this season. Can't remember his percentage last year

Parker has been a really consistent kicker in previous years.

I just wish commentators would shut there gobs before a goalkick. How many times do you see them miss after a commentator chimes in and says, "ohh he'll kick this straight over"?.

They need to get Halligan back in over the break to do some more coaching with him

Goal Kicking is a confidence thing like Golf I guess, sometimes the harder you try the worse it gets and the worst thing a coach can do is sack him as a kicker.
Trent will come good!! Inu for line drop outs always hits the 1/2 way line.

Was thinking yesterday even after a couple of misses that he will be spending a good whack of time practising his goalkicking before next game. He was clearly pissed off with it so I have no doubt he will get the assistance he needs and come good.

I didn't see the Mackay game but noticed y/day he was wearing new boots.. not the white/blue ones that he has for most of the year

Hodko's goal kicking still seems off. I'm beginning to wonder whether his accuracy during the start of the year may have flattered him.

What do you think, is he the real deal, or should we start looking at someone else for next year?

What I'd do is let Hodkinson kick goals on the left side, while Inu kicks the goals on the right side.

I've noticed that Hodkinson and Inu defenitely have preferences to which side they kick better from.
