My six are in no particular order:

Jack Watts

Neville Jetta ( Not a long kick but boy is he accurate)

Dom Tyson

Lynden Dunn

Bernie Vince

Jeremy Howe

These are just my thoughts. What do others think?

Christian Salem and Jack Watts are by far the two best kicks on the team

1. Watts

2. Salem

3. Dunn

4. Vince

5. Kent

6. N Jones or Tyson

 

In no particular order these are the guys I'd like kicking for my life:

Jack Watts

Christian Salem

Lyndon Dunn

Jeremy Howe

Bernie Vince

Chris Dawes

Watts

Salem

Dunn ( when he doesn't get too cute)

Jones ( cudo's - gone from iffy to ultra reliable)

Jetta

Vince


Watts

Salem

Tyson

Dunn

Jetta

Jones (most improved)

 

Watts, Dunn, N. Jones, Salem, Howe, Vince

Tyson is either very good or very bad (very good more).

Jetta very good over short distances.


Watts

Salem

Daylight

Vince

Dunn

Howe

Sorry, I'm playing - I'm still in a good mood ;)

Brian Dixon would beat that mob.

There was a segment on SEN a few weeks back where they were looking at some new champion data stat that rated kickers.

Ratings were based on the difficulty of the kick, length of the kick, kicking efficiency, pressure/no pressure... etc

They read out the top two players from every club, and none of them were players you'd expect.

Maxwell was one of the two for Collingwood.

One of our two was Georgiou! :blink:

No love for Toumpas?

I think he has lovely footskills but is still a bit panicked at this stage. With experience it will be a weapon.

Don't remember him playing....was he a shocker?

He was a champion wingman of our premiership teams of the 50's. He won the ball a lot and then just bombed the ball forwards with high, floating mongrel punts. It was Ok in these times as it was man on man all the time.

precision kicking in those times was more of a rarity. Barassi was hardly a pinpoint kick. Bang the ball onto the boot and let the next in the chain battle it out.

Difficulty and pressure are a bit subjective.

For example, Maxwell would consider a 15 meter kick with only the opposition's runner within 20 meters a difficult kick under pressure :D

Agree, his action is good but his application is lacking at this stage. A lack of composure and sometimes trying to be a bit cute at the moment let him down.

Jack Watts

Neville Jetta ( Not a long kick but boy is he accurate)

Dom Tyson

Lynden Dunn

Bernie Vince

Jeremy Howe

I would rate them a bit differently,as to what part of the ground and situation.Kicking at goal under pressure/on the run.

All rounder for all situations,atm Vince.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
