Yes, if he was aiming at the post, never seen a guy hit the bloody thing so often as Chris from a set shot!

Apart from that year (03?) he was a great set shot.

Anyone remember a player called ROHAN SMITH!!!!!!!!!

[hujsh]

Grant was awesome with both feet as is Acker. Grant's kicking for goal got better as he got older

Sure was a terrific goal kicker from outside 50.

Mine will again consist of more recent players.

I know we didn't have him for long, but I remember one bullet like pass from Nicky Winmar at Princes Park that went flying right past me at head height, and was actually gaining speed as it travelled towards it's target. I think Darce was our best set shot and his field kicking was beautiful as well. Specially for a ruckman.

BB,

As with my previous post just interested in why you have chosen Johnson for your best kick under pressure in general play/ on the run. I would have thought his general field kicking is just average and perhaps worse when under pressure. So why then did you chose Johnno?

Just my opinion Mantis, I think he does quite well under pressure most of the time. He does have his moments when it does go wrong but generally I think he does well under pressure. That is the beauty of internet forums we all see things differently and it is good for debate.

Yes he seemed to kick a mile with no effort...................... DELRAY enjoyed them too.

Probably in both situations, but especially kicking for goal. The goal against North in 2000 after nearly having his shoulder ripped out and the mark, play-on and goal from 50 to put us back infront against the Dees this year are two pressure shots at goal he has nailed, that I can think of off the top of my head. There have been many more.

Thanks for the responses to this everyone.
