View Beyond the Shades - Analysis

[Thryleon]

I suggest you watch the footage Thry, see him turn his body towards the corridor. it was a poor kick, but he was aiming in that general area.

I will ignore the other comment, as that is not the time, nor place to move it into the corridor.

So he kicked it exactly as he wanted it to the wrong target because he was aiming in that general area....

Who was he trying to pass the ball to?

I don't buy that he kicked it into space on purpose and if that's what your selling, then snake oil salesman isnt your go.  This observation of yours is fine and has merit but it needs to be analysed accordingly.

It tells us that Walker executed his kick poorly.

He has chosen his target poorly which has led to him missing his target by foot.  be it a kick he had no chance of hitting (over ambitious with his target) or a kick that he didnt execute well and missed his target, the moral of the story is that he missed his target.  You can make up with poor kick selection by having excellent ability to hit targets, but that just kicks the error to the next point of failure if the bloke is under pressure and sets him up for a spilled mark, or posession under pressure with no target to hit up next.

I suppose the question I will ask is, aside from moving him down field, how does this help Walker kick the ball to a target better next time?  Simply moving him into a different area of the field relocates the issue rather than fixes the poor kick doesnt it?
