Carlton coach Michael Voss is backing Harry McKay to rediscover his high goalkicking kind even after the Blues paid a excessive worth for failing to transform their possibilities within the 26-point loss to Sydney.
McKay was certainly one of a number of Blues that misfired in entrance of objective because the 2021 Coleman medallist completed with 0.3 within the 11.11 (77) to six.15 (51) defeat to the Swans on the SCG on Friday.
Voss conceded that McKay is “in a rough spot with his finishing” however intends to assist the 200cm key ahead who has now booted 14.16 for the season.
“Nobody goes to work on his game more than ‘H’. He’s an absolute professional in the way he goes about things,” Voss mentioned.
“Right now he’s in a rough spot with his finishing.
“We’ll throw our arms round him, assist him. Absolutely we are going to.”
McKay again varied his approach to set shots between a drop punt and snap but appeared to settle on the more conventional approach early against the Swans.
When McKay sent two drop punts through for behinds he turned to a left-foot snap from a tricky angle that ended with the same result.
“He’ll work by way of this time period in his footy and in the end down the monitor he’ll study lots about himself and what the final word method is that he desires to go together with,” Voss mentioned.
“But he is clearly in a tricky spot for the time being, so we’ll assist him as greatest we will and we’ll have a look at all issues to have the ability to assist that but additionally it speaks to the bigger effectivity that we have to construct into our recreation.”
The Blues’ other highly-touted key forward Charlie Curnow was dominant in the air and gathered six contested marks as he threatened to rip the game apart but was also wasteful and finished with 1.3.
While the pair of Coleman medallists suffered from wayward kicking against the Swans the problems appear to run through a Blues line-up that’s booted a combined 21.41 in their past three matches.
“The two largest components within the recreation for us have been our photographs on objective, we could not end our work. Then we misplaced just a little little bit of personnel late, in order that clearly stretched us,” Voss mentioned.
“We definitely really feel like we received loads of alternatives.
“We can’t ignore it. We need to get after it, it’s an area of our game that we need to get better.”
