liz, liz, liz, the worst for Sydney last year, and the comp as a whole for the last 10 years was Andrew Dunkley.
Now days, not sure. Goodes sprays a few.

I also cant agree with J Bolton as one of the better ones. Can he kick over 45m? I'd say Barry Hall is our best, and McPherson has a nice kick.

I didn't really consider Dunks because he did it so rarely. Saddo may not be there often but he usually has a dozen or so shots a season and almost never misses.

I interpreted this question as who you'd rather have the ball for a set shot within about 40m on the final siren when 5 points behind. I'd actually prefer Bolton to Hall (just). Regardless of what you and Thommone think of him as a player, he almost never misses these.

Richo is either our best or worst, depending on where he is kicking from!

55 metres out on the boundary line with the wind coming across the goal face... expect him to kick it!

15 metres out, straight in front without a breath of wind and expect him to pass to Rodan!:eek:
 
By the following Port Adelaide stats it tells us that Darryl Wakelin is our most reliable when kicking for goals but we would probably be hoping that either Peter Burgoyne or Stewart Dew has the ball in hand.

As for bad kickers it is probably between Josh Francou, Josh Carr and Warren Tredrea. Some might be surprised at how good Tredrea's percentage is, I suppose its just that he misses the ones you really expect him to get.

Overall I don't think we do too badly, there is no stand out player who is terrible at kicking for goals.

BEST: Scott Welsh, Mark Ricciuto, Wayne Carey (cannot separate these 3)

WORST: Ian Perrie closely followed by Daniel Schell:D
Yeah, reckon Stiffy is on the money. Bickley is another player who is an ugly kick for goal.

In his last season with us he kicked about 14 - 300. Was missing from the end of the goal square.

In his last season at the Bulldogs he kicked 14.8 :)
 
I'm pretty confident when Paul Medhurst has a shot. If Shaun McManus has the ball, it's time to head to the bar, won't miss anything.

Not a truer word spoken.
How many of those missed are supposed to be dead certs?
If say 15 fall into that category, not out of the question in one year for him, he would be kicking 70%.
Our best kick for goal? We have a number of good ones. Burgoyne perhaps the best of the lot.
