IS DURIC 'THE CLEANEST STRIKER SINCE MARINKOVIC'?

We have to admit, Simon Hill rarely gets it wrong and he's pretty much bang on here. The Perth maestro was a legendary ball striker and the comparisons between he and Duric - who has been a revelation on the Coast - are well-founded.

His goal was truly was textbook stuff. The way he effortlessly faked out Nikola Mileusnic - not an easy thing to do against the pacey winger - to earn himself acres of space was the first magic trick.

It's the subtle things they don't teach you in school that make all the difference.

Then note the way he plants his feet early. In the lead up to the strike his body begins to progress through the motions nearly two seconds before he actually makes contact with the ball.

His arms swing wide venemously, almost willing the striker forward, before he lets rip. He's not head over the ball, in fact he leans his body back as he strikes. But it makes no difference because the perfect placement of foot on ball drives the shot directly into the target.
