Rowville...or maybe London
I have never seen so many floaters kicked by players who usually have great kicks on them. Newman, Lids, Bowden and Cotchin all kicked plenty of pies tonight under no pressure. All four of them also had shots at goal that went nowhere. I was at the Coventry end and, come to think of it, there were shots at goal all night from both teams that floated sideways. Unfortunately for us, most of the cats shots started off to the side and floated in through the big sticks where ours did the opposite. Barely saw a straight kick for goal all night. Anyone else notice this?

Yeah, I reckon it happens a lot in TD games.
 
Hard to say but I was sitting with mates who've played footy (not all Richmond supporters) at the Lockett end, who thought they sounded a bit dead.

It is very rare for our best kicks - who don't include McMahon or Johnson! - to fudge so many deliveries.
