most weeks. Also did you know he used to kick to kick with Dustin Martin growing up? Gee thanks Derm

 

[HarryBeef]

Curnow and Dawson

 

[Breretonisahood]

Keidean Coleman of BL has a laser like left foot. Curnow, Tex and Fogarty are pretty good too.

 

[HairyO]

Buddy is as good a short kick as anyone in the game, though now retired.

Sidebottom and Pendles have been in the best their entire careers.

 

[g_TRAIN]

Nasiah Wanganeen is pretty bloody good for a second year player.

Coleman is a very good kick and sets up the play for us. Just the tank he needs to work on.

would be up there.

I remember one of his kicks in the champs, just sliced through the ground over 60 metres with a low bullet. The type of kick that you could build a gameplan around.

 

[Veer Right]

Nasiah Wanganeen is pretty bloody good for a second year player.

Personally Charlie Curnow.

Second this.

NWM is tracking to become one of the best. This year nobody has impressed me more then Curnow, his field kicking is laser like, including kicks with a high degree of difficulty to execute.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Feels old fashioned, but why isn’t it still Dusty?

Thought his best kicks are still the best, despite them coming among more than your average clangers!

 

[Lingsface]

Mitch Duncan kicking inside 50 is worth a mention.

has been highly underrated his whole career for foot skills imo. Better than Dawson. His field kicking is up there with anyone I've seen.

 

[TerryWallet]

Tex is the best kicker i've ever seen. Both feet. Immaculate.

has to be included in the most creative. His kick from the back pocket in the dying seconds of the semi final vs Brisbane in 2021 is the ballsiest kick I've seen.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

❤

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

I am biased, but Jai Newcombe. Elite dual sided player and can do it under pressure.

I marvel at what he can do with the football.

 

[HarryBeef]

Feels old fashioned, but why isn’t it still Dusty?

Thought his best kicks are still the best, despite them coming among more than your average clangers!

When was it Dusty?

 

[HarryBeef]

Luckoscus

Lucosious

Would love to see you try a few more times

 

[PetterdHoisted]

When was it Dusty?

From 2017 maybe? I think he became the most destructive player in the game about then, especially finals, and especially especially grand finals (3xNormSmiths)

With the usual caveats that he tries the hardest kicks and therefore has plenty of clangers amongst the elite stuff.

So if it’s consistency you care about, it’s not him.

 

[sobrave]

Ted Walker's field kicking is pretty ridiculous. He can be dodgy with short range set shots sometimes but in the open field he's deadly.

Houston and Farrell have got some decent weapons. Butters also pulls off the incredible with some of his passes across the body. Still prone to the odd shank occasionally though.

Daicos is laser like. Unless you can put him under extreme body pressure he's hitting the target.

in this conversation?

Jamie Elliott has been wow so many times this year

 

[windyhill]

Coleman Briz.
Salem Melbourne.
Merrett sticks out because of the rubbish that surrounds him. Only player I trust with the ball in hand @ Essendon.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

You'll hear commentators ejaculating about Kane Farrell most weeks. Also did you know he used to kick to kick with Dustin Martin growing up? Gee thanks Derm

exactly, Farrell - Dusty connection is mentioned for a reason.

Just sayin', Dusty ain't retired yet and was getting reinvested and back to his old levels this year, so could probably have been mentioned in the OP.
