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.

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    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

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
