Best Goal-Kicking Technique?

Featured Replies

If I had an MFC player taking a set shot for my life, I'd pick Melksham.

TMac was very sure on saturday night but he has missed a few this year.

Ben Brown's technique seems to be very effective. He split the posts with his 3 goals and was on line with his chance from outside 50 iirc but just fell short with the distance.

 

Tmac was 9.4 this season at set shots before his first or second goal Sat night.

Can't  have missed too many BDA Then this season. 

Non-MFC: Luke Breust - beautiful action and usually very accurate

MFC: Fritsch - same reason

 

Ol’ twinkle toes, Josh Kennedy. 


Zac Tuohy ?

I watched the VFL game vs Kangaroos and thought Weid's goal kicking technique was beautiful to watch.

The best Dees set shot I've ever seen live for the MFC has been Jack Watts. 

Minimal body movement during the run up which kept the arms straight, ball drop was minimal and never tried to either drive through the ball or chip it towards goal. 

Watts accuracy was 67% (161 goals , 79 behinds)

One player I think needs to work on his set shot routine is Pickett.  He just takes a few steps and looks too casual.

Of the current MFC players the one I would choose to kick a goal to win a GF it would be Brown by a mile . 

T mac from a tight angle would give me nightmares as would P , O , G .

Plugger is the best I have seen .

I reckon Tom is more accurate. That boundary goal was a ripper.

Edited by leave it to deever

Peter Hudson was the best I’ve seen.

Also, the accurate set shot goal kicking players look down at the ball as the ball goes into their foot rather than looking up at the goals.

Petracca drives me nuts with his set shot routine, he seemed to have fixed it last year but he’s missed some very getable goals. I just don’t know why he has to constantly spin the ball (Gawn does it to). 

Love TMac’s, simple and straight.

Darren Bennett was the best conventional goalkicking ace we have ever fielded. Bananas, check-side, dribbles and other interesting techniques aside. The next best was The Ox, then Tulip. 

I am not talking about getting the ball in the first place, just the kicking techniques utilised to get the 6 points from a set shot.

    The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
