Opinion Best current kick of the football

[Franc de Borges]

Me

 

[kranky al]

Raffle it out of Hayden Young, Jordan Dawson, Errol Gulden, Zac Merrett

Pffft dom sheed…..

Oh sorry it was best

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Coleman Briz.
Salem Melbourne.
Merrett sticks out because of the rubbish that surrounds him. Only player I trust with the ball in hand @ Essendon.

May is a way better kick than Salem.

 

[Yoda_]

Kane Farrell from Port has a great kick on him...

I did forget about Kane, add him to the 4 I mentioned earlier today / yesterday (Dawson, Gulden, Merrett, Hayden Young)

Is there anyone NOT a defender on there?

 

[danster168]

May is a way better kick than Salem.

no he isn't. both about the same

 

[RonnieRaven]

Growing up you were judged off both feet.
Freddy , young the best for freo

 

[g_TRAIN]

He hasn't really learnt to perfect the soft weighted kick to a leading forward yet but for pure punching low and fast over distance accurately Wanganeen Milera is on par with anyone in the AFL.

 

[Lunchtime]

Kicking for my life 30m out directly in front, it's Fritsch.

[Butters and Pepper]

Houston is Port's best.

 

[Lunchtime]

How many of those were 30m directly in front from a set shot?

Not sure.

 

[bungalow_bill]

listen to daniel hoyne on sen

Coleman?

New boy Reville is a brilliant kick too

 

[T2B_]

For Carlton, Jordan Boyd is a beautiful kick.

Not sure how he compares competition wide exactly cos he stands out amongst our, erm, less than great ball users.

 

[PhatBoy]

Oddly - maybe because he had missed the best part of two weeks - he butchered a few on Saturday, but Stewart generally never misses a target if he’s trying to pinpoint someone. His kicks down the line for territory might skew his efficiency numbers a bit but if he’s trying to hit an individual he virtually never misses.

He and Hawkins have generally been our best field kicks for a long time, along with Duncan. Kicking for goal Henry is our most reliable

 

[WillHayward]

Gyran Miers and Bobby Hill for field kicking. Gulden up there. Executes difficult kicks often.

1. Sidebottom
2. Hunter clark adam cerra

3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

You might laugh at first but Nic Cox doesn’t even have a preferred foot. Had missed goals kicking set shots off both right and left

Seriously though — the guys legitimately double sided so he’d have to be up there for opposite foot (whichever foot that is).

 

[Orange crush]

Treacy is a beautiful kick for goal

 

[Rabish Binney]

Tex Walker.

Pretty good on his left as well....

from 40-50m, Zach Merrett in closer.

 

[Joao]

It's still Tex and comfortably so.

He's a better opposite foot kick than most are on their main.

He's got it all, depth, vision, both feet and touch.
