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.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
