For professional athletes in the sport's elite code, finishing skills i.e. kicking for goal either in general play or via set shot are embarrassing. This is highlighted more when you compare the finishing skills (scoring skills) to pro basketball, American football field goals, rugby league spot kicks, ice hockey, golf, soccer (a dubious one but the very best players can do some ridiculous things).
I know AFL players do a lot of things well, but actually putting the ball between the big sticks and scoring is continuously terrible, in most games, most weeks, the overall standard is shocking in this area. Not all the time, but far too often.
