From the Herald-Sun........... We're the second worst side for conversion from 30-50m out from goal  :P

Set shots 30-50m


Richmond 50.4

Geelong 48.2

Not overly worried then - If #16 for this stat is the current #2 and made the grand final the last 2 years running and looks set to do it again this year, why worry ;D No more set shots - snaps and bananas for everyone! Drag 'em for going back to take a shot - kind of the reversal of TW's "Richo-No-Playing-On-Inside-50" rule :lol

Morton stands to upright when he's kicking for goal, which lends itself to leaning back on impact which causes him to spray it a fair bit, also if you watch someone like Fev or Aker they hold the ball still and over their kicking leg. Morton needs to take his eyes off the goals and focus on the ball drop more, his snapping for goal is great but is only effective from the one pocket.

 Overall the team lacks poise when it's time to capitalize on the momentum, I think that's what Cousins would have been drilling into them at half time.
