The main thing was not just what he said, but the emotion when he was saying it.
He talked about really wanting to get the win for us (the fans), and thanked the great crowd a few times. You could tell that it wasn't just lip-service either, he really meant it.
IIRC, Heywood got to pretty accurate before heading North, and despite our ire JO'C was (and continues to be) pretty good.
But you are right - kicking shouldn't be a hard thing to do to a reasonable standard; we're not asking for anyone to be Jonny Wilkinson and spend 5 hours a day practising nothing but kicks.
Not sure if the AFL coaches are the best people, though; they kick out of hand (which, admittedly we can be bloody dire at at times, too) while it's the poor place kicks which cost us points.

I don't think AFL coaches aren't going to assist with place kicking either, maybe some advice during general play but in AFL they are trained to hit a target not find space.
Not taking a pot shot at you here Sheik. But; Why not if that's what it takes to be as accurate as he was. Someone needs to put in some extra time. Because it's fucking woeful at the moment
The 10,000 hours theory has been proven beyond all doubt whatsoever.
Right on Jono, practice makes perfect. How useful would Wilkinson be with our lack of ideas in the opposition's 22. If we were going nowhere & could come away with a drop goal we'd be in a far better position than we are.... scoreboard pressure.

Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
FYI.
Over at the GAGR (Western force forum page) site they are putting out a call for a force fan to be interviewed for their podcast tonight re the victory over the tahs if anybody on this site is interested.

or do what gits and JOC did and ring that saffer via Skype about kicking.

Hodgo was great. Should have at least been a mention. But Burger had an absolute blinder against the Ponies.No Hodgo?..... da fu@k?
As good a game as I've ever seen from him, with a couple of crucial pilfers and one hurculean effort to hold up a maul and win possession.
That team is just for the Aus Conf though isn't it Shasta?

Well, I was thinking 5 hours a day is excessive. But 2-3 hours of intensive specialist kicking until their accuracy hits at least 80%.
