Siren has sounded. Trailing by 5 points. This is for the premiership. WHO would you select of the current players to take the kick - the kick that matters! As if your life depended on it! The man standing on the mark is 40 mtrs from goal.

Personally I would of selected the great man David Neitz. But he is retired now, so I would put it all on the line with......Colin Sylvia. But by geez I would be nervous.

What's your selection? Let's take a poll. Brad Green?

    Is there a better more accurate kick than Brad Green over 45-60 metres at Melbourne? I would say Sylvia maybe. Wheats would get the distance but the accuracy would not be as good!....................What do you think?

    Probably Green.

    PS. Why did you make a new post to reply to your own post? :P

    don't ask me why but green's kicking for goal is over rated... he was great when he came to the club, and developed a reputation as a great shot for goal, but since then his kicking for goal has only been average...

    yet commentators always comment on what a great kick for goal he is, and are completely surprised when he misses... does get a little frustrating...

    i'd go with either Robbo, or maybe Brock... he's doesn't take many, but seems a pretty solid shot for goal...

    Green, although he's not as reliable as he once was. Brock's pretty good inside 50. Ditto Davey.

    sylvia?..you have got to be joking. he is not a bad kick..but for someone with hardly any experience you don't want him to be kicking for a bloody grand final.

    Green and Davey are a bit older and are proven players. I'd probably go:

    1.Green

    2. Davey

    3.Mclean

    Roughies: Wheatley, White, Newton

    It will take a good kick from Sandy 2nds to do it. :lol:

    Green, Robbo from a set shot.

    Davey or Wona on the run.

    Jeff White. He's a great kick from 40-55m from goal, and has won us the game to make the finals against the Dogs.

    setshot-- Cam bruce lol.. joke. Robbo 100%

    On the run-- Davey

    Agree, Freak. Davey needs to get a bit of elevation, but he can do it. Tell you what if Wonnaemirri gets a bit more penetration and elevation over the pre season he'll soon be the No.1 choice. He is very accurate.

    Ben Holland. Only have to look at his kick against the Bulldogs in 2005

    Davey or Wona on the run.

    Considering the siren has sounded, I hope it's not a shot on the run we're talking about ;)

    edit: High Tower - I imagine RR realises, and just wanted to add his 2c on who he likes from that distance on the run.

    Exactly Rogue. Some need to read the Title and description sometimes.....

    Holland....

    no...

    Green all the way.

    Dennis Cometti once said that if it was someone to kick for "my life", he would pick his mother "because at least she'd care".

    On that basis, I guess we should get Dennis's mum on the list and use her.

    I would have said Green and prob under pressure I would give it to him but other wise Wona seems a great set shot.

    In the whole league I'd prob pick Fev

  • Quote

    I would have said Green in the past, but his set shot accuracy hasn't been what is was for years now, so i'd probably say Robbo. He's the only player on our current list that has shown an ability over the last 3 or 4 years to consistently dob those goals from that angle and distance.

    Out of the younger fella's, Aussie's technique has been superb so far. If it were 5-10m closer, he would have been my pick.

    Me too. As much as i hate the guy off the field, i'd always back him when he has a tough set shot, and more often than not, he doesnt let you down. The more pressure there is, the more he seems to strive too.

    For all his mental flaws, one thing that can't be questioned is his concentration when lining up for goal. It's excellent.

    a lot of you obviously don't want to win a flag...

    brad green is not a good set shot for goal anymore... he misses lots of set shots... look at the collingwood game... missed a couple of easy shots at goal...

    just because the commentators say he's a good set shot for goal doesn't mean he is... you've all watched us play footy every week, surely you've worked it out for yourself by now...

    Neita, now hes gone, Green.

    New Question who wouldn't you pick,.... for me Ben Holland

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
