    Paddy's kicking

    This may be a short thread but I just wanted to acknowledge how good Paddy's kicking has been.
    Gulden and others have, rightly, been getting a lot of praise their kicking prowess but I think Paddy is just as good.
    A perfect example is shown at the start of this video and there were a few other times on Friday night were Paddy's kicking made me smile.
    Maybe he can do some kick-ins or is being a marking target more important?

    Buddy has always been the exception among our talls in being a superb field kick (superb probably doesn't do it justice in his case, but anyway).

    We're now blessed to have two more - Paddy, and some of the field kicking and decision making of Logan has been quite ridiculous for someone of his age and AFL level inexperience.
    'Delicious' is a fun word to say

    Agree with Paddy's elite kicking, alongside his intercept marking. His recruitment appears to be a master stroke & fingers crossed he continues to blossom without any further concussion issues. He & his brother Tom are still learning how to play KPD roles. I think in time Paddy would be better suited to take on the monster forwards & Tom the fleet footed KPFs as he seems to have better agility. They both compliment each other well.

    Yes, it's good to have a player who's calm and confident kicking to targets from the back. Goes some way to replacing Dawson I guess, who was so good in that area.

    He was No.1 draft pick for a reason.

    Agreed on Paddy, he has the skills by foot and clearly knows it.

    An astute observation, dear boy. Extremely impressed with Logan's reading of play and skills by foot- just between us I think we should keep him.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
