Goalkicking Technique

[crabapples]

Matthew Lloyd has the perfect technique, except for kicking with a slightly bent knee. Copy him.

Side note: throwing grass in the air is stupid, especially when ur inside

Another side note: writing ur instead of you're is also stupid

I tend to swing my arms a lot on the walk in then straighting them up just before I kick it has worked for me alot I am a pretty accurate set shoter

It might work for you but that is a notorious no no when it comes to goal kicking.

Becoming a good kick for goal just requires practice. A showerload of practice. I went down to my local oval with my dad 2-3 days a week and practised on leading marks and kicking goals. It's about getting a style that suits you properly when you kick. You can try the unorthodox methods such as Franklin and Fevola but you'll find that the best goalkickers (Lockett Ablett) just kept everything straight and in alignment with where they wanted to kick the ball. Trying to do a Didak or Dale Thomas style torpedo is extrodinarily hard, no matter how easy they made it look.

Hope I helped somewhat

Yeah everyone's style is different much like Josh Kennedys stutter steps, Find a kicking style that works for you and go for it in the end you can study hours and hours of the different techniques used over the years but in the end you need to find something that suits you and constantly use it.

I sprint forward and throw it onto my boot as hard as I can- accurate drop kicks from 70+ out.

find a technique that feels comfortable, and try to do the same thing EVERY time. Also when aiming, don't look at the goals, pick a point out in the distance behind the goals and kick it straight at that

Isn't that the same thing??

He means pick a point or person behind the goals and try to kick to them, sort of like spot kicking. Many people struggle mentally with kicking inbetween posts rather than a specific point.
