There wqs a slo-mo close up of a set shot. Was horrendous. Ball floating everywhere, and worse than that, his foot looked like it was half bitten off by a shark. Anyway, WGAF!

Still in our bottom 2 to 3 to me. A momentum killer. Plenty in the seconds hopefully will challenge his spot next year. Life member 2 time premiership player so always in our gratitude

Has anyone in the history of the game ever missed 6 goals in a winning gf? I doubt it. He was a chaos machine all day, loved his pacey linking run

Dunno, closest that I can think of is Arnie Breidas kicking 7 behinds in the 77 draw. Made up with 5 sausage rolls the next week!

I reckon he could become a weapon on a wing and rotate midfield.

He had an off day with his kicking but as many in here have dubbed him Chaos george he was bloody good.

Hows he going against GWS thats 11 behinds and a few out on the full from 2 of his last 3 games against them ...................................

If the kid could kick with composure he'd be elite.

Taints all of the great grunt work he does with wastefulness in front of goals.

Still does my head in.

The best 6 point grandfinal ever played by any individual. Ever.

There must be a bronze statue of dual premiership george someday, somewhere.

I wish someone would teach him to put a bit of speed into his run up when taking a set shot. He just needs a canter not three or four walk steps to put some momentum into his kicking. When he walks in he has no energy behind his kick so skews or shanks it. **** it is just dumb. Most players in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and naughties just went back and kicked the bloody pill. George is a new age thinker that thinks too much and complicates a pretty simple process. Look, he ain’t never going to be a dead eye *smile* but he should be kicking at least at 50% not 20%.
His grip looks too high on the ball too. Look at the way Lynch holds it and even Soldo for set shots - hands are much lower on the ball to guide the drop better.

This is so far off. Momentum killer and bottom 2 or 3?

If he keeps improving he’ll be mentioned in AA discussions next year. Sky is the limit for George.

George in full flight today. He can do everything but kick a bloody goal.

Was easily our best small forward this year. Well done George

He just needed to kick one early. That’s it.
GWS wasn’t much chop but Georgie’s run was unbelievable.
He needs a full time kick coaching. Jacob Townsend

It’s all mental, in general play George is a neat kick.

Don’t forget when it mattered against the cats he delivered.

the only very vague critical thing to say is George kicks 2 goals we win by over 100 ...
one of those runs of his yesterday was mind-bendingly good ..
 
He’s frustrating to watch.
When he missed his first one I just thought, here we go again.
 
It was a brilliant performance by George let down by his goal kicking. He was buzzing around, taking the game on and was an absolute nightmare for GWS. He kick 3 of those 5 and would’ve been huge.
