Chris Johnson for me. Beautiful technique.

i thought about him... but i haven't seen him take enough set shot goals to put his name down...

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

On the run-- Davey

ud would be surprised he is usually very good from 45m and tough angles

id go with

robbo- its wat he does, kicks goals alot of the time from the pockets

green- very good set shot

Yze - very good foot skills

davey no- he always runs around the mark too much when he is 40-50 out, i can see him kicking the goal and the umpire saying no goal u ran of ur mark.

Neita, now hes gone, Green.

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

Would not pick Miller just yet.. but one day soon I hope. :rolleyes:

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.

Correct.

Edit: High Tower- If you see my set shots your question is answered. I extended the answer to think who would I want with the last scoring kick in a game. Hradly challenging but there you go.

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.

Ditto. BTW, the minutes after he kicked that goal were the most gut-wrenching of my life. Also, this is the kind of awesomely pointless topic I love. Keep, 'em coming!

You may laugh, but when it really mattered, he'd kick it, and it would be beautiful to watch.

Robbo would get overexcited

Green would push it out to the right and just miss

Colin - your kidding aren't you?

Greeny for me.

His radar may not be as superb as when he was primarily a young forward, but I think he'd still come through on the big occassion.

Wonaeamirri has a very calm and thorough set shot style from what I've seen.

Surprise one would be Jeff White - totally unflappable and a decent kick at goal.

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.

the siren has already sounded :wacko:

Except a good portion of the crowd (myself included) would die of heart failure between the time he lined up and put boot to ball... it would make for a rather dull post-win celebration :P

There's only one MFC player who instils greater fear in me when kicking for goal and that's Jamar.

while he looks awkward, he's deceptively efficient in front of goals dutchy... just when he does miss, he can make a real meal of it...

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?

Definitely not Simon Eishold!!

Wonaeamirri

I find it remarkable that a kid of his age wouldnt be fazed in a high pressure situation like a kick after the siren

#1 - Daniel Bell.

#2 - Robbo, for sure.

Surprised Jeff White hasn't been mentioned more, he's a great kick. One of the best kicks of any ruckman in the league. He'd be there or there-abouts when the pressure was on. Robbo, Belly, White, Brad Green IF it was 45° on the right, Wonnaemirri looks the goods but distance could be a problem...

(Bell was a joke :P)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
