If Levi kicked as many goals as Buddy (I wish!), his goal kicking accuracy wouldn’t be an issue. Although Fev’s poster from 30 metres out against the Hawks is indelibly etched in my memory ????
That poster aside, yes i was there too :-[, Fev was uncanny at standing up when it mattered. The opposite to Casboult.
Who could forget Adelaide?

Dangerfield would make a good NBA player...in the NBA if you are a star and it looks good you get away with it , he does have a nice kicking style, but you are right he misses a lot
of goals and sprays the ball by foot on the run also a lot. You compare that to Pendlebury who hardly wastes a disposal but if you asked average joe who was the better player most would
choose Dangerfield IMO as he is remembered for all the big plays he makes but not for his mistakes which are many.

I coached a girl at Diamond Valley who was like that. She tried all sorts of ambitious passes and shots and her cheer squad, led by the doting parents, would remark that the intended target should have got the pass or the shot was unlucky and her teammates should have got the offensive rebound. She transferred to a "better team" when we didn't make Vic Championship and, boy, was I glad to see the back of her and her family
As I said earlier, Dangerfield's good outweighs his bad and those clutch goals he manages cancel out the Robbo-style bombs and missed targets. And I think that you have to give coalface players a little leeway with disposal efficiency - unless your name is Samo

No, the girls program was run quite separately from the boys program and I didn't really know any of the coaches.
