To all who want KB

[Ruthless Tigers ?]

The death of Tiger Legend Jack Dyer has stirred the emotions of fans and added even more weight behind our outcry to the ineptness of the Richmond Committee and in particular the Football Department. We have read countless threads pleading for KB to return and lead us back to where we belong.

So put your hands up and show Rhett Bartlett the stats so his Dad can assume his rightful place as a LEADER!

There are just two options YES or no.

Having been at Jack's memorial service, and having heard KB's eulogy, it sounded to me like he was missing Punt Road. It might just be wishful thinking though.

 

[WJP]

I know in my heart KB will always be a tiger great I hope that some day when he is ready that he comes back

 

[vladz]

Of course he should be back, nothing but positives will come out of it, maybe he should also help Richo with his kicking skills.

KB is and always will be a tiger. Of course he should be back. Coaching back then, the club had financial problems and facing extinction. I tought KB had us going in the right direction on the field but the board didn't. Sacked in 91 on 7 wins 15 loses. Not much has changed this year ( 7wins 15 loses) and we apparently have one of the best boards in the AFL. Not to mention our membership has risen to 25,000 compared to 5,000 back in 91.

Would be great to have Hungry back ,although nobody could help Richo with his kicking skills.

 

[vladz]

Why, what the hell is wrong with his kicking, is it the run-up or the tactic of holding it, he kicked pretty well in the first 8 rounds. PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE HELP HIM?!

 

[22]

Nothing wrong with his kicking it's accuracy. Simple thing concentrate!!! watch Lloyd he only has his eyes focused on one thing.

 

[vladz]

That is a load of crap, Richo always concentrates, its not the concentration, its something else.

 

[nwonash]

It would be great for KB to return to Punt Road.

However, it appears KB has still not forgiven the Tigers for dumping him as coach at the end of '91.

How knows what the future holds.

As for Richo's kicking, there is a problem. One thing I have noticed is that he greats too close to the man on the mark.

 

[vladz]

I reckon his run-up is way too long, and when he takes it he loses all of his accuracy.

 

[sgloury]

Richo also doesn't guide the ball onto his foot properly.
He releases the ball far too high which is part of the reason his kicking is very inconsistent. He also on many occasions fails to run in a straight line when taking a set shot which of course makes it difficult to be accurate.

I think Michael Roach would soon sort out many of his problems. Shame that they don't use him.

 

[vladz]

Where was Michael Roach all season?

 

[nwonash]

I reckon his run-up is way too long, and when he takes it he loses all of his accuracy.

His run up is longer than Brett Lee's.

By the time he kicks the ball, he's too tired.

 

[diggler]

Richo is too old to be changed and even if he was told 1,000 times you must kick it this way, he would do the opposite cause he has *smile* for brains!!!

 

[22]

That is a load of crap, Richo always concentrates, its not the concentration, its something else

If you concentrate
1 run-up wont be as long
2 run in a straight line
3 release football straight onto boot and more importantly have enough distance between you and the man on the mark. Then one day he may kick more than 7 goals in a match, as yet to accomplish.

Richo does his run up like he is dodging bullets.

 

[diggler]

No, he runs like he is dodging membership cards and marks like he is trying to scoop coins into a tin!

 

[julzqld]

What has Richo's kicking style got to do with wanting KB back at Richmond? Keep to the topic people!

 

[Roar34]

Yeah, keep 'em in line, julz!

I make no secret that I would like to see KB back at Punt Road. In what capacity I am not sure, even if it was just so the players could see one of their all-time greats back on the patch. His football comments are usually well thought out, who knows....
