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...

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
