NORTH Melbourne coach Brad Scott has revealed key forward Ben Brown takes “hundreds” of shots at goal each week in order to develop and perfect his pinpoint goalkicking routine.

Brown has kicked 19.4 this season, with his accuracy a highlight across his career.

According to Scott, such accuracy is a result of endless hours of practice on the training track.

Speaking on Fox Footy’s On The Couch on Monday night, Scott revealed the tireless work Brown undertakes each week and praised his attention to detail.

“It’s a great lesson to young kids — if you want to be an accurate set-shot for goal, have a really solid routine and get enormous amounts of repetition,” Scott said.

“We run a football program at North and more is better in terms of goalkicking.

“He’d have hundreds (of shots at goal per week). And it takes a fair time to have hundreds of set-shots when you’ve got a routine like that.”

Clubs have previously endured push back from sports science departments when giving players the freedom to practice beyond training hours during the week.

But it’s not an issue Scott and Brown face at North Melbourne, though the Kangaroos coach revealed he would “pull rank” should he ever encounter such an issue.

“It’s great that our sports science team allows me to operate in that environment,” Scott said.
