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!

    Ben Holland

    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.

    In the whole league I'd prob pick Fev

    I'd go J. Brown as he's been there and done it a couple of times eg the game against Sydney last year.

    At Melbourne Green would have to be the go

    Allen Jackovich!

    No must must be Brent Girgic.

    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)

    • 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.
