Dimatina was similar. Balls went higher than they went long

Good call, okay on a good day but generally a ball butcher.

Re: Bulldog Worst Kicks?
Dylan Addison had a lot of great qualities but kicking wasn't one of them

Simon Garlick for kicking over the head of the leading target or Gia for kicking into the half volley of the leading target

Re: Bulldog Worst Kicks?
No one goes near Robbie Mcomb,
Outside of him, Honeychurch was a very ordinary kick. Keath and Easton Wood lost their foot skills once they turned 30.
Talia was also a liability. We had a team of ball butcherers when McCartney was coach.
Daniel Cross couldn’t kick over 30 meters when he first started. He improved with time.

I’m not having much luck as far as this goes, I have followed Melton since 2000 ( both Cullens) Mark was still selling cans at the can in bar last year. My daughter worked for the Dimmatina family until recently . I caught up with Paul’s family on the Gold Coast in June . Friendly bunch although the old man has aged in the last year .

Explains why a lot went out on the full , the wind grabbed them.

Brian Cordy used to bomb it 50m in the air.
Now I think of it, it might be something to do with the Cordy gene pool.

Re: Bulldog Worst Kicks?
Luke Dalhaus was a terrible set shot.
Worst AFL kick I have seen is a contest between Jayson Daniels (ex Saints/Swans) and Andrew Dunkley.

Re: Bulldog Worst Kicks?
Been mentioned before as poor goal kicks, but I’d put my head in my hands whenever Honeychurch or Dahlhaus kicked for goals. Also Hunter was pretty poor, and Roughy was capable of some goal shockers too.
