778 goals 777 behinds has K.B. at 50 accuracy and that's ignoring any complete misses. Not sure that makes him anything special in the accuracy dept of any era.KB was a better kick for goal.
You sure?The more shots on goal you have, the higher percentage of shots missed
Don’t agree there DA. When kicking a set shot from a long way out say 50 meters or from any distance on his right he will take a set shot directly at goal. His results are very good when he approaches in this way.Shai’s inaccuracy has more to do with ball drop technique than confidence.
I also notice he tends to rush the snap where if he took the one extra step to balance, he’d have more control of the ball.
Might be travelling too fast for his own good.
*NB KB was a magnificent kick for goal from all angles.
Shai will never get close to that ability
Heresy! In 1974 KB amassed 607 kicks and had 40 handballs.What more do you want!!!! The same year Sheedy amassed 381 kicks and had 176 handballs! Clearly could not kick!Don’t agree there DA. When kicking a set shot from a long way out say 50 meters or from any distance on his right he will take a set shot directly at goal. His results are very good when he approaches in this way.
His problems have come with the shots from the left where he uses the ‘round the corner.’
There agree he doesn’t line up at all with the ball going off his boot and gives him an inconsistent result.
KB was a consistently good shot at goal.
Some say that was because he had never learnt to pass.

Where is Richo's numbersYou sure?
Lockett 1360.591
Dunstall 1254.641
Ablett 1030.690
Franklin 1047.729
Referring to his set shots and his tendency to use the around the corner when kicking from the left side of the ground, in which he seems to have no confidence, but uses anyway. Agree that he pulls off the ball with disaster inevitably to follow.you couldn't be more wrong,
Shai's issue comes back to his ball drop action & the fact he leans back when kicking.
The very best, Plugger, Dunstall etc would nearly smash their nose with the kicking knee they got over the ball so much.
I cant explain Franklin
His snap, in play, shots are actually his best outcomes.Shai's main goal-kicking problem seems to me that he tries to kick the cover off snap shots.
Don’t come to my probability class.The more shots on goal you have, the higher percentage of shots missed
Chalk and cheese.He was a genius for sure. He was also known as hungry for a reason.
I have had a look through the AFL site (Sara Olle) and the Club site and didn’t see any recent ‘training vision live’, apart from a little in support of Shai’s new contract.His snap, in play, shots are actually his best outcomes.
Straight set shots, the ball goes everywhere on the run in, and he leans back. High ball drop. Terrible. He actually looks nervous himself on set shots.
Check the latest training vision out. The ball moves everywhere on his set shot approach.
He’s one of the worst set shot kicks in the league.
The more shots on goal you have, the higher percentage of shots missed
Stats might not reveal how good KB was at kicking goals in the last quarter to clinch games. An absolute freak. So durable and in an era where every opposing side sent someone after him to try to kill him.KB was a better kick for goal.
Didnt $hai start with 0.13 ?
KB's time series figures don't help your case.The more shots on goal you have, the higher percentage of shots missed

Lewis Jetta.Anyone remember which young (star?) started with a shitload of behinds before first goal?
