Macrae, Hunter or Dunkley; which mid is best at finding a target.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

We all know our mids can find the ball and rack up the numbers, but which of these men has greater hurt factor. Which of these three has the better percentage of delivering to a teammate in good position to start a forward thrust?

[Mofra]

Out in space, Hunter.
Under pressure, Macrae.

Macrae is much bigger bodied than Hunter so that would help his under pressure delivery. He is good at freeing his hands in a tackle. Despite his awkward kicking style he is effective at foot passing and has great vision.

Macrae, easily at this stage.

I’d say MaCrae but Dunkley when it comes to kicking for goal.

[Axe Man]

Macrae by an absolute mile. His ability to find targets and create angles with difficult kicks is seriously underrated IMO. For mine he is second only to Bont for creativeness by foot for us in tight situations.

Is this where I put up the video link to Macrae kicking at goal, late in September 2016 at a little oval north of the Mexican border?

Strange choice - I would say Hunter and Macrae are both better kicks at goal than Dunkley.

Was a weird tumble punt but by god that was clutch.

2018 Dunkley 11 goals
Hunter 8 goals
Macrae 8 goals.

I will go with Hunter, but Macrae is probably just as good now.

2018 Dunkley 11 goals
Hunter 8 goals
Macrae 8 goals.

Dunkley 11.15 from 29 shots.
Hunter 8.10 from 23 shots.
Macrae 8.5 from 14 shots.

Macrae wins goal kicking accuracy easily here.

jacko for me, though all three aren’t strangers to a spray

I know it's a Lachie Hunter video but Gee I love Crozier's effort at 2:20.

Sure, why not? Good memories.

He did shank on big time in the grand final.

Macrae is the most effective at lowering the eyes and hitting a target in F50.

Hunter is the most effective at kicking long while on the move.

Dunkley is underrated just a little by foot. He's by no means in our best users but I think he's largely OK, and supported by pretty good decision making.

All 3 aren't really zone busting, penetrating, players and they will all accumulate 30+ touches a week. To drive our improvement, we need to a see a little more of Williams, Richards and Smith running fast and using the ball well through the midfield and forward half.

MaCrae's composure and ability to make the correct decisions has him in front for me.
