Ace West Coast scoring force Josh Kennedy could unveil a totally revamped kicking style without his controversial stutter approach in Sunday's western derby against arch enemy Fremantle.
Kennedy's heavily scrutinised unorthodox stuttered kicking style could be gone, if not by a potentially defining derby next Sunday but by season's end, Kennedy disclosed.
Kennedy, 25, heads this year's Coleman Medal race for the league's leading goal-kicker and confessed on Monday he is revising his set-shot kicking run-up that has bagged 45 majors from 13 outings so far this season.
The All-Australian key forward contender sent nation-wide advice to aspiring young goal-kickers not to imitate or try to adopt his shaky and stuttered kicking style.
The affable big Eagle confessed he has growing doubts in his wobbly finishing despite bagging 45.16 this season.
He has been remodelling his style for up to three weeks since the Eagles mid-season bye week.
"I've been trying to work on suppose the kicking routine for probably this last three or four weeks," Kennedy revealed.
"With the stutter is was probably getting to the point where it was a bit risky and I was losing a bit of control on the way I wanted to kick.
"So that's something I'm working on coming into this last half of the year and to try and minimise it, if you want to say that.
"Not cutting it out, but to try and get it back to the point where I'm comfortable in kicking for goal.
"It's getting to a point where in some cases it is getting out of control."
Kennedy was blunt in his advice to youngsters around the nation not to even start his stuttered kicking style.
"Don't start it. It's a bad habit," he said.
"But I am a big believer whatever works for you in a goal-kicking routine."
Kennedy recalled early goal-kicking routine advice from decorated former Eagles scoring champion Peter Sumich in his time as West Coast forwards coach.
Kennedy dismissed any prospects of any remedial assistance from Sumich in any kicking regeneration, with the seven times leading West Coast goal-kicker among his club-record 514 majors now senior Fremantle assistant coach.
