Jamarra marks it - or he doesn't get it. Until he is able to change this, he will continue to be a very limited and inconsistent footballer...
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Even when he gets it he’s 50/50 at best to kick accurately. He seemed such a great accurate kick at TAC level but seemingly can’t improve it even with a forward coach and a goal kicking coach. Any ideas how he fixes this?

Left hand, left foot...left POST.
Consistent run up - 7 paces back from the mark, 11x paces back from there. Walk in for 3, run in for 5 to create momentum and kick the ball.
Practice.
I say to my guys I know you are going well when you take a mark inside 40m, quickly scan the field then start going through your process. Hit's or misses I don't actually mind - but you need to miss to the RIGHT side (left side for left footers, right side to right footers unless you are a freak with a natural inside out). Anything > 45-degrees is a snap with your INSIDE LEG, anything in the V is a drop punt. No snaps from outside 35m as it's too far.
Should I keep going?? Oh - and if you do something unique (aka Jesse Hogan, Josh Kennedy) but the ball keeps going through, cool - you do you.
It ain't rocket science.

Not a doubt in my mind the veracity of this. Is it the last step that's missing? Do we practice enough?

At least now when Bont aims middle, he either hits the left goal post or misses by a metre or so.
If he aims left, he'll be doing more of what happened on Friday night and be hitting patrons in the FP.
