where do you get all this L2r2r?

Database compiled from the stats on various websites and a couple of books. Easy enough to crunch the numbers once you have the data.
BTW, anyone is welcome to a copy. To get anything useful or interesting from it, you'd need Microsoft Access software and a working knowledge of how to create database queries as I'm unable to provide tech support for it; otherwise it's just a mass of raw data.
I believe looking at the stats for accuracy for goal kicking should not be read in isolation.
We need to factor number of 'set shots' vs 'in play'
Also need to look at from 'where' are we kicking from.
If the set shots are from a position where we have not been doing too well, we need to look at things such as placement of kicks into forward line.
Are we going to those positions because of poor skills by midfield, poor deleivery into fowards due to the pressure on midfield, or is it due to poor leading techniques by the forwards? and then again is it because the defenders are forcing the forwards to lead into areas with poor conversion rates?
I would prefer for Richmond to look at more the delivery skills in general than just those going for goal scoring. Afterall, kicking for goal is aiming for between posts, general foot passing is designed to hit a smaller target, if we can start hitting the smaller target, we might be ablt to hit the big target between the posts.

Disco do you fancy a trip to Thailand. I could do with a few Golf Lessons. I am sure Tigers of Old would benefit from a few as well from what I have heard.
Our biggest problem in gaining value from the experts is that they just blowpast and give a five second presentation never to be seen again.
The only way to get functional improvement is to use these types of people on a regular and consistent basis.
Golfers don't go to the coaches for one or two lessons they refer back to them consistently.
We need to put far more emphasis on tackling training suitable to AFL with a dedicated tackling coach.
In rugby they wrap up a player to stop him, in AFL it would just result in a ball up. We need to take the arm in a tackle so that players are unable to dispose of the ball correctly resulting in a turnover.
With our goal kicking the forwards also need extra coaching in both repetiitve technique and focusing/ visualising on the target. Half the guys look like they are more worried about stuffing the shot than actually focusing on how they need to complete the shot.

Interesting points. Maybe the clubs have these people in partly for variety, to prevent the message from the club's coaches getting stale. Otherwise it'd make more sense to send e.g. Jade Rawlings to see Dave Aldred.

Inaccuracy is often the result of a good defensive game plan. I often look at the goal chart on the AFL website early in the match to see where the goals are being kicked from.
If a team is ahead early but has snagged a lot of goals from deep out wide then often they will end up losing the game to a team that has kicked points from the central corridor because it is difficult to keep the accuracy up from long and wide.
