Who at the mfc would you have take "the" kick?

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?

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

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.

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.

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 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.

In the whole league I'd prob pick Fev

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...

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
