On Fox Footy’s First Crack Preview, St Kilda champion Leigh Montagna
revealed the best and worst when it comes to delivery inside 50. This data assesses the percentage of kicks going inside 50 to a mark out of the top 50 kicks in the competition.
THE MONEY MEN
5. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera
“This man will be getting a million dollars his next contract that’s for sure. He’s the only half-back flanker in the top 50 kicks inside 50 and he comes in at number five.”
4. Izak Rankine
“Your boy, Kingy! He does it differently to the others, he’s got that deft little touch, he can kick on the outside of the boot and kicks to advantage, he does it all different ways.”
3. Jason Horne-Francis
“Then there’s the Hornet, bursting out the front. 14 of his 42 kicks inside 50 have led to a mark. We know how great he is.”
2. Zach Merrett
“Surprised he’s not number one really… we’ve seen this all year, he’s probably my favourite kick in the competition. He’s the best kick in the competition.”
1. Isaac Heeney
www.foxsports.com.au
“It’s Isaac Heeney
who’s been brilliant. 12 of his 33 kicks, so almost 36% have been marked inside 50 and this is why he’s one of the best players in the competition.”
LEAVING MONEY ON THE TABLE
50. Christian Petracca
“The worst kick inside 50 in the competition is Christian Petracca
, only one of his 45 kicks have actually been marked. It’s been a bit of a theme for Christian over the years unfortunately.”
49. Luke Davies-Uniacke
“Only two of his 33.”
48. Connor Rozee
“Interestingly, Connor Rozee
, this is the third year in a row he sits in the bottom five for his kicks getting marked inside 50. He’s only had three of his 43 kicks that have actually led to a mark, but he is a long kick, and he does kick to advantage.”
47. Bailey Smith
“Same as Bailey Smith
, they’re probably more the guys that tend to go for territory.”
46. Tom De Koning
“We’ll give him a bit of a break, because he’s a ruckman and a lot of those are just dump kicks inside 50 so he gets a let off.”
