Watching the Adelaide/Saints game last night I got to wondering....what is wrong with kicking to a contest??
Adelaide in that first quarter handballed constantly, as they obviously did not want to kick to anyone except a team mate on their own. If the ball is kicked to a contest then surely the best mark or best skilled player will get it, or at least a "crumber" will swoop onto it like a seagull on to a piece of fat?? Why are we now having this mindset of only kicking to a uncontested player??
Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems the days of long kicking, even if to a contest are long gone. Kick to a team mate on his own or handball all over the place until someone is free is the mindset today. I was screaming at the TV....."kick the bloody thing, and I might add, I hear that at the games as well."
