    I'm getting a little tired of this guy missing shots. Whereas several others seem to have come down from the clouds, he has not IMO.
    I wonder if the discgusted look on his face when he misses is matched by seriously looking at what is going wrong.
    If we are going to get close again we need everyone close to max effect.
    That certainly wasn't the case against a poor Brisbane.

            He wasn't running too hot last year either (I mean his goal kicking, obviously he was H.O.T. last year).
            I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
            We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

              This year he's kicked 3.8 (and a number of OOBOTF) and last year 31.33.

              His accuracy has been declining for a while.

                  No - you used a capital letter, an apostrophe and a full stop!

                      It's been really sad because back in 2001-2003 he was near a dead cert in front of the sticks.

                      It was so easy to predict that he would miss both of his shots on Sunday.

                        'Bloods is correct of course his accuracy has been declining, I wonder why. More set shots? pinging away from further out? More running?

                          He should have a chat to Nicky D. Remember how Nick was missing a lot last year and said he went back to his old routine and his kicking came good.

                          As you see Pebbles run in to kick you can just tell that he's going to miss. (Likewise, MOL in the GF). I can't imagine that both aren't being coached to go back to the routine that worked for them. I hope it "clicks" soon - we only started a run of wins last year when we started kicking straight.

                            Nick cut his tongue out to improve his accuracy, perhaps ROK should do the same . . . . . . . certainly if he did there'd be less Brownlow talk.

                              Not only have been missing but the majority haven't even been coming of the boot looking half reasonable, hence the high number of OOBOTF. And he hasn't been setting many up this year either.
                              I still don't understand why players don't hold the ball lower down minimizing the deviation of the ball on the boot, ROK is one that drops it from a long way up. Have a look at Lockett's style.
