CFC Shootout

[Manchego Cheese]

Nice and easy. None of that 'if someone had to kick for your life' nonsense, which is ridiculous because under which circumstances would a terrorist organisation have you captive AND access to any Carlton player at the same time?

It's a tie game. The AFL have grown weary of draws and deem that every match must have a winner. The patrons paid for a cut and dry emotion, after all.

A la soccer, we must select five players to take a set shot for goal, 40m out directly in front. Each kick will form an overall aggregate score, the team with the highest score wins.

Name your five and, if you'd care to elaborate, why.

 

[ParapMarkets]

1. Weitering (just seems so cool under pressure)

2. Sumner (beautiful kick and seems composed under pressure)

3. Graham (nice finisher)

4. Gibbs (great kick)

5. Murphy (Captain to finish it off Aloisi style)

 

[Cripps17]

Gibbs, Sumner, Phillips, Murphy, Armfield.

First four are in the order I think are safest bets. Armfield because it would take the win to another level.

 

[LCBlues95]

Armfield, Gibbs, Murphy, Kreuzer, Wright.

For mine.

Interesting that Sumner is getting some love. Surprising, but good to read. I'd have him in my five, too.

The "Dream team"

 

[ShanDog]

1. Gibbs - super silky set shot action and would have to be one of the most reliable kicks on the team. You want that first 6 points locked away.
2. Weitering - the Weiterbot hasn't heard of this 'pressure' you keep talking about...
3. Wright - experience and a cool head with good skills. Can't go past this guy for a situation like this.
4. Graham - another reliable set shot thanks to a neat and compact kicking action.
5. Murphy - the captain nails the fifth straight goal, and Carlton, yes Carlton, are into the grand final!

 

[TeeJay Blue]

1. Levi Casboult (Because he is M'F-ing Levi)!!!
2. Harry McKay (Only if he kicks it to Levi)
3. Lonnie (The right blood runs through his veins)
4. Sav (Only if Levi teaches him how)
5. Brendan Bolton





Sumner, Wright, Gibbs, Weitering and Lamb are honourable non-humerous mentions IYKWIM.

Would be more interesting if the player had to take the kick from distance or impossible angles. Wonder how much the lists would change if they had to win their own ball first as well.

M Murphy : 157 goals
K Simpson : 127 goals
B Gibbs : 120 goals
D Armfield : 73 goals

Much as I love him, surprised Simmo has kicked that many. Especially as he's played mainly as a back or mid floating back.

May he kick many more!
