Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin says a "refreshing" outlook on goal-kicking could be exactly what his club needs to defeat the woes in front of the big sticks.
Brisbane, who also experiences inaccuracy more regularly than they hope, discussed celebrating behinds to take the edge off, which the Demons coach believes could be of assistance for his charges.
"It's a great mindset to have," Goodwin said of the Lions' approach.
"I look at that as refreshing.
"In such an outcome-based skill, sometimes you've got to just make sure that your processes are right, and get rid of all the anxiety.
"Anxiety can create a pressure that's not healthy.
"Everyone wants to kick goals, but the less you talk about it, sometimes, the better you get."
Melbourne has no issues in generating opportunities, ranking fifth for inside 50s differential for the season.

But they have let the club down with their accuracy, which has cost them multiple games already in 2025, resulting in a less-than-desirable ladder positioning of 14th with five wins to date.
"We're getting the quality of supply, now it's about how we maximise those opportunities," Goodwin said.
"If you look across a bigger period, whether that be three, four, five years, our ability to convert is actually sitting OK.
"This year it's not to the level, but it's one of those things, the more you talk about goalkicking, the worse you get.
"It's like putting for the golfers out there, that if you focus on something that's a real outcome-based skill, sometimes you get worse.
"So we're going to take all that pressure away."
The Demons return from the mid-season bye to face Gold Coast at People First Stadium.
The Suns ended a 12-game loss streak to Melbourne in Round 3 this year at the MCG, downing the Dees by 58 points.
