Riewoldts shot at goal

[Leo Barry You Star]

Telling moment.
He'll face more pressure than that in the finals.

Re: Captains who choke after the siren

love the big Pav

Are the memories of footy fans really this bad? Christ ... Pavlich has never missed a shot after the siren to win a game!

 

[Leo Barry You Star]

BigFooty sadism at it's finest

Motlop
Bock

Hitting the post was the worst I was expecting

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

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.

45 out, 45 degree angle.

i.e. Probably below 50% chance regardless of the situation.

 

[Dylz48]

At least they will be playing finals

So because he doesn't barrack for a team in the 8 his opinion isn't valid

It was a fair point he should of kicked it

Re: Captains who choke after the siren

did anyone mention riewoldt yet

Jack?

If he'd kicked that goal against the Saints last year, Richmond would have made the 8 and the Saints would have missed out.

Motlop
Bock

Remove Bock, the siren hadn't sounded when he took the kick, it went 10 seconds or so after he took it

Re: Captains who choke after the siren

oh year jack reiwoldt
i remember that he didn't even make the distance
and lay off pav huys just a warning

 

[mob]

Guess it was like finals pressure and that was a typical Nick Riewoldt finals performance.

Like last years finals where he tore your boys a new one.....

 

[Paul Kersey]

Just looking at our 19-1 record on the ladder. Hows the Hawks going btw

Going alright, ten flags. How many St Kilda got? Haha.

St Kilda's hopes of becoming the first team to go through an AFL home and away season unbeaten in 80 years is over after captain Nick Riewoldt missed a set shot

Re: Captains who choke after the siren

Jack knew he couldnt make the distance, looked to give it off but then the siren sounded.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Errr Riewoldt took the mark that probably 95% of the competition wouldnt have been able to.

This.

There are a lot of Cats and Pies fans getting stuck in and declaring the Saints both as chokers and cooked for the season.....

What short memories you have.

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.

kukoc was the clutch man...
riewoldt shanks it far too often, how often was jordan at the free throw line after the siren? it's not at all the same thing there wasnt seconds left to get it on the boot it was all him and he choked at what hes paid to do.
Kosi's brilliant hand pass didn't help them either.

Now you know you're being silly...keeping our eye on the main prize

Re: Captains who choke after the siren

I seem to remember the siren going before he kicked it...

Ive wiped most of it from my memory though. Back to back interstate trips, for the 07 elimination final, and that game.

Speak for yourself. 2007 Semi final anyone?

 

[2121]

Riewolt simply cant work under pressure.
if you can remember back to 2004 the PF agaisnt port in the last quarter when things were tight when ever he got the ball he contiually passed off.. could well have just cost us a finals spot not that we deserve it or anything

 

[MagpieJoel]

Choked.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Riewolt simply cant work under pressure.

That's crap.

 

[Fadge]

Not saying that he could be mentioned in the same breath as Carey, but this is a fundmental reason as to why Carey is considered by many as the best player of this generation, whereas Riewoldt will most likely be remembered as one of the best half dozen of his era.

Brereton made a comment on SEN just before he took the shot that he'd seen Riewoldt have six practice shots from the same place on the ground before the game, and never got close.

 

[Kickin_Goals]

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

Epic chestmark... Epic choke...
95% of the afl can't take basically uncontested chestmarks interesting.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

95% of the afl can't take basically uncontested chestmarks interesting.

No, 95% of the AFL wouldnt have been able to burn off an opponent at the 33 minute mark of a 4th quarter to get to a ball with such speed as to make it look uncontested.

Thanks for agreeing with me.
