Goal Kicker Options 2024

[Achilles]

1. Matt Burton: 116/147 78.91%
2. Stephen Crichton: 74/94 78.72%
3. Blake Taffe: 60/80 75%
4. Toby Sexton: 41/59 69.49%

These are our options for goal kicking duties for next season.

Crichton kicked, 2022 - 82.05%, 2023 - 84.00% in the last 2 seasons, I think he should take over the kicking duties from Burton.

Crichton easy. Burton needs to focus on his general play kicking rather than wasting time goal kicking

Something needs to. He really fell of a cliff 2nd half of the season.

Critta with his golden left boot.

Assuming Burton keeps his current GK form, I'd go with him.

He kicked at 84.51% this year, which was the second highest in the comp behind Croker, given some minimum number of kicks (I don't remember the cut-off).

Very handy having Crichton as a back-up though.

Burton was given goal kicking to get him to take ownership of the team. He really improved his Goal kicking up about 10% points. But his general play if anything was the same or worse. Therefore just give it to best person. Probs Critta, however depends if playing centre. If centre I would give it to him to keep his head in the game, if FB maybe just stick with Burton.

 

[Moedogg]

Burton shouldn't have any more responsibilities other than creating points for the team. Remove the captaincy and goal kicking, hasn't even nailed one job and they're giving him additional roles.

 

[D.O.W.]

We need to score tries before worrying about GK duties - but for me, it’s Critta.

Works for juniors....and Burtons skill level is juniors lol

 

[John Matrix]

Can't believe Burton kicks at that %, maybe I have just watched when he's missed them.

Go Hazem style old school, have a shoot out, last man standing gets the gig ..

 

[Daustin]

To be fair Burton was kicking way better this year than last year. He seemed to be pretty good at hitting them from out wide too

 

[LucasFitzo]

Burton was kicking absolutely amazing by the end of the year, one thing that improved in his game over the year lol

I would go with Burton unless he starts to get the yips.
