Post subject:  No more dribbling shots at Goal

Is it just me being old fashioned, but am I the only one frustrated by the mordern footballers need to dribble (or run) the ball along the ground when having a shot at goal. For two weeks in a row Fev has stuffed up a relatively simple shots at goal, by trying to kick it along the ground and roll it through. Both missed.

I can forgive his attempts at doing the team thing, when stuffing up a pass to a team mate, when he should have gone back and kicked the goal himself. But the dribbling it along the ground stuff is crap, he should have been dragged immediately. Particularly after he stuffed up doing the same thing the week before, kick the bloody thing properly. As far as I'm concern if he kicks it and it works fine, but miss and you sit on the pine.

Waite does it a bit too. He can be running into an open goal and he'll dribble it through from the top of the square. I have no idea why you'd do that when you don't need to.

It's Jarrad Waite. I'm sure he doesn't do it intentionally. :wink:

You'd think that they'd try and make the most of each shot at goal, given that in some matches, the're few and far between.

i think dribbling the ball into an open goal is easier than kicking it through the goals but the one that fev tried last week against adelaide was definitely not the right time to dribble especially seeing as he'd done the same mistake the previous week hopefully he learns from that and also from that stupid torpedo pass he tried to do from 60 out and the ball got turned over and we copped a goal at the other end

I don't think it's easier to dribble it through- it justs looks better and classier- all the more reason for Fev to do it. Not that he should.

Fev's missed a few shockers especially that checkside dribble the other week when he could have just straightened up and kicked a sitter.

Yeah he did the same thing against St Kilda and Adelaide.
