Riewoldts shot at goal

[Byron_Clanger]

did you see the look on his face when the siren went, he was packing it and everyone knew it

 

[SM]

Maybe he missed on purpose

Didn't want to face Swans in the PF.

 

[PUSSIES_07_FLAG]

Did you see his face??????

Pulled a 'Motlop' face. Did not want the shot. Seen him pull the exact same face back in 2006 V Geelong, where he hit the post from the Goal square in the last QTR.

The real Saints are starting to arrive at season 2009.

Not yet.

Nah,

the pav would never miss

 

[macdaddio]

Hmmm wonder where all the Saints fans are now, haven't heard from them yet

Re: Captains who choke after the siren

I wanted to include him, but he hasn't missed a shot at goal after the siren to decide the outcome of a game. Not yet anyway.

Close enough to it against Geelong.

Riewoldt, the hack. Worst captain.

Wow that was quick.

 

[rose jam]

It's hard to fathom a player with an apparent good techqnique just blows so many shots from that distance. He keeps "snapping" at the ball. It's amazing really.
Guess it was like finals pressure and that was a typical Nick Riewoldt finals performance.

Kernahan choked in that Carlton vs Essendon game, but the next week he kicked a goal after the siren to win

Re: Captains who choke after the siren

love the big Pav

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Best miss since Fevola hit the post. But Prismall should never of missed either just before, or Monfries could have taken the shot given how well he was kicking them earlier.

probs off with your '09 premiership hopes

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Errr Riewoldt took the mark that probably 95% of the competition wouldnt have been able to. You guys are being ********s

 

[Absolute Gun]

Can someone put it on youtube?

 

[jerry springer]

Should've allowed for the breeze

well played sir

 

[damochandler]

he never looked like it. he wasnt to keen on taking the kick

 

[Benno_900]

Pathetic, they should give it in for the season and start tanking for draft picks now.

 

[yeah-nah]

Re: Captains who choke after the siren

What a ridiculous thread.

Someone misses a crucial goal and they are a choker.

Michael Jordan also missed a lot of shots to win the game for the Bulls during his career. Most overlook this as we only remember the one's that went in. If you add them all up his final game winning shot percentage would of been close to his overall field goal percentage.

The same goes for these crucial shots at goal. Pav got crucified because he missed twice in a matter of weeks. He has got Freo over the line on so many other occasions and kicked so many clutch goals its not funny. The same goes for Roo, Kernahan, Lloyd etc.

Unless there is clear evidence that their conversion rate from shots after the siren/clutch situations is worse than their overall career conversion rate, its a non-issue.

 

[melbournemartin]

Can someone please explain the goal attempt to me? I only just saw the score. I guess a video highlight will appear on the AFL website soon.

 

[X_box_X]

LOL! Fair enough too.
