“You don’t really work on kicking around the goals in a game sense as such, it was more my set shots that I worked on a little bit, and I came up with the right technique which works for me.
“I don’t have a set amount of steps that I walk back, but I do go back a long way because I get a lot of momentum and I find I kick better that way,” the 17-year-old said.
“I don’t look at the sticks, I’ll look at something behind it and aim for that, so even if it’s that building over there [pointing across the street from Junction Oval], it doesn’t matter if I can’t make that distance; I’ll try and hit it.
