'Highly skilled' AFL players can't kick straight!!

Post by Terry »

AFL is a game based around kicking a football. The whole point of the game is to kick a ball between two big posts. And of course if you miss the big ones you still get an encouragement point...….. unless you also miss all 4 posts !!!!!!!!! Which unbelievably does happen lolololol!!!!!

So why oh why can't these blokes kick straight????? Only one team in 2019 kicked more goals than behinds in 2019. Overall goal accuracy was just a paltry 46% for all kicks. It was the lowest number since records of accuracy have been recorded. And it gets worse every year.

What the hell is wrong with these blokes. They're full time supposed athletes. And with multiple rule changes they've never had more advantages to 'nail their routine'.

Why are they so pathetic at this simple task? It beggars belief they could be so bad. Answers anyone??????

AFL is not the most precise game is it. The 4 goal posts with no cross bar means that you only need to kick the ball in the general direction of the goals to get at least one point. There are no penalties for offside or dropping the ball either. AFL really doesn't foster much skill in terms of precision at all.
