Problem is he'll miss and it will go to a Suns player....lol.

Beat me to it.

Hopefully he is aiming for GC players, then we'll be ok

Meat was a reasonable field kick, better than his goal kicking.

Thats like saying Simpson was a reasonable kick on his left compared to his right.

Yes, when he played as a key defender, my heart was in my mouth every time he tried pinpoint kicks to a teammate, but he rarely missed the target.

Yep, one of the real anomalies of football, you can have guys who can hit a target on the run at 50m yet are unable to get it between the posts(the wide ones) on a set shot! :o

I have a theory on this.  Some people over think it.

Have you ever just reacted instinctively and surprised yourself? I have on the sports field a lot.  Hell, the more I listen to my instincts the better served I am.

The more I think about it, the more nervous, worked up, and then ultimately suffering is the only result.  I think this is what star wars talked about when discussing light and dark side.

This is very true, I've had some high level success in different sports, and the best advice I ever got and that I could ever pass on is to always deliver it cold. Act like you've been there before, seen it before, and that you belong there. It's amazing how that mindset can calm you into a high level of performance.

I've also heard this is one of the biggest benefits of visualising the contest prior to the actual event, it tricks / makes you feel you are in a familiar environment.

Maybe when he was in the clear but with a two handed drop its impossible to be accurate if you have to kick quickly or on the wrong foot. Stewart Loewe was a wonderful mark like Levi but also a shocking kick initially, later in his career he became a very reliable kick so it is possible all be it rare for a player to improve in this area.
I think we should belt GC by 50 points minimum, Levi will probably kick a few goals(2-3) given he is their only target and good luck to him....

So far so good for Cripps in 2022.

Chol did kick 3 goals last week.  Do not underestimate.
