Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
Astbury and Taylor showed something today. Dea needs to go back to the seconds. Rance ok in parts or better than usual. Look for me its not all doom and gloom. Astbury in time has shown that he can hold down a key forward post, we need Griffiths to do the same. If Cousins and Newman were in today for say Dea and one other, the result may have been different. We had our chance in the 1st quarter and blew it by giving away charity goals.
And we wont talk about no 8 shots at goal, will we Riewoldt

The commentators mentioned today what I've thought for a fair while - he has no momentum in his action and as a result his kicks are open to any small error he makes each time. He needs to go back another 5 or so mts and take at least 3 or 4 more steps in his run up so that he has momentum when he kicks and consequently kicks through the ball with a much stronger action.

Fox replayed one his misses today and he actually raises his hand before he drops the ball, meaning the he dropped the ball from higher than what he needs to, rather than guiding it down to his boot.
