Jacko's goal-Fluke or flair?

I'm still not convinced.
Next time, if can pull a rabbit out of his shorts, I'll be convinced he'll be much better than Daicos.

It was only a 'reverse check side' in that it was kicked off the instep rather than the outside of the foot. The ball still spun the same way as a conventional check side.
Someone should invent a "running side", i.e. a kick that bends the correct way for a right footer from the left pocket. I must've spent hours as a kid trying to make it work, to no avail.

As much as I admire the execution of the kick I agree with RROFO in that this is what we have to look forward to in coming years.
Just give these young'uns their head, Terry. Minimum of supervision, just let them have their heads and play like they enjoy it.
Might work wonders. Be good for my blood pressure, too!

I'll 3rd that. Despite the fact we haven't won a game I'm still looking forward to watching the games for the exact reasons you guys mentioned.
On Jacko's kick, I say fair. I agree with Shawry and Jimbob that he was aiming for it and as the definition of fluke is 'accidental success' it can't be a fluke.

That's just it GPB.
Daics pulled that off that stuff regularly enough that you'd put it down to skill.
Jackson looked as surprised as anyone that he'd put that through.
If he starts kicking goals like that week to week then I'll change my mind but at this point it was fluking miracle that it went through.
But don't get me wrong great goal!
Heaps of players pull shots out similar to Jacko's. Daic's was the master years ago but nowadays with players being full time and heaps of skill work done there's plenty of freaky goals kicked.
Good to see the players are still able to get away with these types of shots when coaches are so strong on players always trying to give to the better option and not risk turnovers.

Can't call it a fluke because the ball went where he wanted it to go.
Just hope he can do it a few more times.
