Expect any St Kilda player lining up for a set shot at goal during their AFL clash with Adelaide to use the majority of his allotted 30 seconds.
Hurried shots have hurt the inaccurate Saints over the last month and again proved costly in a narrow defeat to Sydney last week that left their finals hopes hanging by a thread.
It is a point coach Brett Ratten has rammed home with his players ahead of their encounter with the Crows in Cairns on Saturday night.
"We've done a fair bit of goal-kicking (practice) over the last month," Ratten said this week. "We've put it in between drills, before training, post-training and even on days off players have come down to have a kick.
"We haven't done anything abnormal with it but we've just put a price on it."
Young key forward Max King was put under the spotlight when he booted a wayward 1.5 in a loss to Geelong in round nine and Jack Higgins posted 1.6 against Sydney, including two missed crucial shots in the final three minutes.
Ratten said it had become increasingly noticeable that players were not going through their pre-planned routines in the heat of battle.
"That's probably the big thing for us - you've got a routine there, let's make sure that you go and fulfil that and follow through," Ratten said. "Sometimes we're not doing that and that's the thing that I think is hurting us."
Despite St Kilda (5-7) sliding down the ladder with three losses in their last four outings, Ratten hasn't yet given up on a finals appearance.
A loss to 15th-placed Adelaide (4-8) would all but put that dream to bed.
