    Will St John’s be there for the pinged calves?

    And drop punts are discouraged. Drop kicks, torps, stabs, flickpasses and place kicks welcome. No biffo and thankfully, for me, not much running. Good fun if you can make it as sunshine is forecast for tomorrow in Melbourne. Cheers.

  3. I’m in… should be fun.

    “kick to kick”,
    ESTIMATE OF EIGHT THOUSAND PLAYES who played VFL between 1902 and 1970. There were 25 Legonds and most Coaches were ex VFL players. Then there was a school kid in 1945/49.
    James, from age 10 to age 14, with only limited kicks, gained at school in “kick to kick”, learned to kick a stab pass, a drop kick, a torpedo punt, a flat punt and a “drop punt as a field pass” kicked at full pace. Then at 15 in 1949 with his first ever “own football” it took Jim only a couple of weeks to convert the stab kick into a stab punt. Easy for Jim. There was only a split second of timing to adjust to make this happen. That is kick the ball just before instead of just after it hit the ground. Easy for Jim. Jim virtually kicked nothing but “Stab Punts” and “Drop Punts as Field Passes” for the rest of his playing days.
