Last kick by Martin

[Heckler]

He was knackered. Dutchy should have been given a crack. Bad luck.

...and NO, I'm not disrespecting or hating him. 90% kicker. He's human. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Ive got no issue with him missing, but a game of shoulda woulda coulda, yeah, Dutchy may have been an option.

How many first grade kickers would you have backed to make that kick, especially at the end of a tough match? Even Haz missed occassionally .

He made a couple of pressure kicks in reserve grade last year. Sometimes you make them sometimes you don’t. I’m sure he’s more disappointed then anyone in the way he hit it and hopefully it will make him more determined tomorrow back at training.

I'm very concerned by Rhyse's last kick. He seemed to rush it a bit more than usual when he didn't need to. Better we tie up the game before worrying about extra time. Basically shows either he can't kick under pressure or he had a wager on the Storm ?

I'd say give yourself an uppercut but after reading this bullshit, you'd miss your own chin.

You need to be a pretty special kicker to get those. Alot of pressure, opposition fans you need to block out but he will learn from it.

He's generally been very good with the kicks, the refs would have found a way for the storm to win if we equalised.

exactly what I said earlier! who tells them where to take the kick?

 

[Mr Invisible]

For those wondering why he took it out further... it's apparently because when the kick hooks there's a greater angle out wide.

If you notice when Rhyse kicks there's a fair bit of left swing on it... Kinda like this

)

So by going out wider he's giving the ball a greater chance to swing back across the open face of the goal posts (rather than kicking directly/straight forwards at a lesser angle).

That kick would of still missed by plenty even if he took it from the right spot.

? further out the narrower the target not wider,the wider the gap more room to swing it through lay off the VB

Fatigue played a massive part as well as nerves.

1. Halligan

Thurston?

 

[Baby Blues]

I think he hit the tee which is why it missed so badly

Clearly nailed one just this weekend

 

[Alan79]

It would have been nice if he gets it and we went on to win. But given some of the dud calls I think the ref would have piggybacks Melbourne into position for a field goal attempt.

Thurston?

Lol. You trolling?

 

[The DoggFather]

Lol. You trolling?

Where's the trolling?

You think JT couldn't slot that over?
