Exactly what I was thinking.
Each kick was just like the one you'd include in a video tutorial on our game.
The action for his set shot was so straight, you could rule up your page with it.
What a team needs most is not those freak Butler or Higgins type goals that pop up in highlights reels, but the reliable execution of regulation bread-and-butter kicking.
When you consider some of the attempted goal kicking we've seen at times from Lynch, Cotchin, Castagna, it makes you appreciate how valuable RCD's kicking could be, if he can reproduce it consistently.
If you can nurture 4-6 guys who can average 2-3 goals per game, plus a few other contributors, that's your flag right there.
And if you can get them to hang around on reasonable coin, there's your dynasty.
You may think I'm banging on a bit about a newbie's two goals that the rest of the footy world has already forgotten about, but our brains trust would have noticed them, along with a few other things he did that show he's growing into his body, growing into the game, and growing into the team.
