The capsule houses the knee joint, but when the back of the capsule becomes inflamed it causes pain when the leg is fully extended.

Riewoldt had criss-crossed strapping on his right knee on Friday that prevented him fully straightening his leg.

St Kilda said this week that Riewoldt had a capsule problem, not a strained anterior cruciate ligament.

When the knee straightens, or hyper-extends, it can pinch the front of the knee joint, causing pain or tendinitis.

Riewoldt normally kicks with a straight leg but his knee was noticeably bent as he kicked at goal against Essendon on Friday night.

Kicked straight too. Is this the solution to his waywardness?

always thought that he tries to kick to hard through the ball or stabs at it. Perhaps just kicking it mid distance is helping his kicking?
