Sports science is one thing, a crack pot being left unchecked is another.
Too many sports scientists at clubs stopping players practicing goal kicking.
Too many sports scientists at clubs saying players need to sit on the bench after kicking a goal.

The physical performance teams micro manage right down to how much time the players spend kicking the balls so, yes, forwards are restricted to how much goal kicking practice they can do and, as such, perhaps that's why it ( goal kicking ) hasn't improved in the professional era as much as it perhaps should have.

Harry Taylor said even when he plays back he uses the pre-game warm up as a goal kicking practice session as he doesn't get to do enough during the week.

Yep Brian Taylor has mentioned several times that he does some goal kicking coaching and only gets about 15-20 minutes with the players

Footy tipping
On face value im 2 behind the leader as is a sheila.
Bonus points awarded to a perfect round.
However add in bonus points and the bloody sheila is in front by 2.

Grrr and the worst part is during the year i somehow missed 2 matches to put tips in for.....both of which I would have got right....

Costly mistake

Lots of secret rounds in my comp so have no idea. I'm top 3 95% of the time but wouldn't be that this year, if you're having a good year you have absolutely no idea about footy or you're a genius! :lol:
