Who are the best six kicks in our mighty team?

Bobby McKenzie
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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?

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

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

    Jetta very good over short distances.

    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.

    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.

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
