Goalkicking to me is like putting in golf.
Should be improved but....

Yeah a bit like putting except that guys who can't put don't get to the upper echelon.

I remember going to a game at glenferrie oval in1970, it was so muddy you couldn’t tell who was who. McKenna had his jumper ripped off him.
When I got home having a kick in the back yard that night with my mates, I ripped my jumper just so I could be like like macca, my mum nearly killed me.

ahh ok...I knew he did it around then
You had Wadey kicking torps, McKenna and Jezza kicking drop punts and Huddo and his flat punts. Love to see their scoring efficiency %....they were all crack shots.

These figures show things pretty well. They don't give an actual "scoring efficiency %" but the VFL/AFL's all-time leading goalkickers are shown, and you can see what they scored (goals/behinds) by season and overall: https://afltables.com/afl/stats/alltime/careergoals.html

There's also this: https://afltables.com/afl/stats/accuracy.html

Peter Hudson 727.330 68.78%
Doug Wade 1057.523 66.9%
Peter McKenna 874.470 65.03%
Alex Jesaulenko 444.360 55.22%
