Who do you want taking a set shot for your life?

[_Mike_]

This guy who wears #31

How many 40 year olds can kick that far?

 

[DerpWerls]

Clive, because he'd kick it over his head and then fall over in a set shot.

 

[swiftdog]

Jack Anthony

No seriously, the guy didn't miss from a set-shot, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!




Clutch, no doubt that music is playing in the background as Jack saves my life.


Cheers, Jack!

 

[Bulldog1954]

Stephen Hill.

He is the player I would want if I could pick anyone in the league to hit a target inside 50

 

[Royce Hafey]

McBean

 

[Selim]

Tory Dickson

 

[PerfectFooty]

Nate jones, generally hasn't missed from set shots or on the run when he's in range (which are rare opportunities)

 

[Goosecat]

Apparently Michael Murphy!
Of my teams current players here's a surprise. Guess who's in the top ten most accurate shots at goal since 1965?
Xavier Ellis come on down. Aren't stats wonderful.

Forgot about him. IIRC, he kicked 29.3 in 2008, that was right up until the semi final where he kicked something like 1.5

For those old enough to remember, I would place my life in the hands of 1 player only.

That is Bernie Quinlan from Footscray/Fitzroy. He was simply the greatest kicker of a ball I have seen in 40 years of watching footy.

When Bernie had the ball anywhere from 60 metres out, the umpires & players started walking back to the middle for the next bounce down.

Next in line would be the Macedonian Marvel....Daics was an awesome kicker of the footy too. So accurate!

Modra & Ablett Snr were also great kicks for goal too.

 

[Sooper]

Safe as houses

 

[_DBF_]

My mum because she'd care slightly more, and I wouldn't hate her if she missed.

 

[Pie eyed]

Cloke.

Do you need a councillor?

 

[South of the Yarra]

Daicos or McKenna

 

[Hrovat24]

I'd love Pavlich.

You really wanted to say Boyd

 

[bzparkes]

Travis Cloke from 10 out...

 

[Pannalstaroz]

You really wanted to say Boyd

Ssssshh

 

[Tbonefreo]

Robbie Haddrill!!!!!

Yep, Quinlan and Daicos probably the best in the 80's until Plugger came along (69% accuracy). Actually Quinlan was known for the 'ballburster', but his accuracy was not as good as you might think (817 goals, 612 behinds).

Mark Jackson, Matthew Lloyd and Peter Hudson were all in the 68% range.

Best I saw from Richmond would be Michael Roach, who kicked something like 600 goals 300 behinds.

Of today's players, I'd take Jack Ziebell.
