Sublime skills

[coniglio_number1]

Josh Kelly is silk

 

[AstonSouffle]

GAJ goes alright.

Something about how he holds ball before his ball drop at times bothers me, but that's such a minor quibble haha. Shame he's copped the injury he did.

Haha I've always thought this too - it's like it is too deliberate to be graceful or something

And personally (besides shots at goal) I cannot picture GAJ lacing out any passes greater than 20m

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

Shaun Burgoyne, Cyril Rioli, Chad Wingard, Bontempelli all come to mind. Silky skills/Rolls Royce types.

More grunt skillset but Dustin Martin as well.

 

[benji2]

Pendlebury for sure. Add McLeod to those past players already mentioned.

Good calls.. McLeod moved so smoothly and effortlessly hit targets

 

[Sttew]

Jimmy Bartel

 

[Furn2]

A lot easier to hit a full forward on the lead with one player on him and no one else Inside 50 than through 36 players.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Bunk Moreland go back and watch Bontempelli in the grand final. Pure skill, hitting targets 50m while in congestion. Massively influential game but without the super stats line.

There are plenty in the league right now apart from Bont too. GAJ obviously, Pendlebury, Mitchell, Burgoyne, Wingard and Gray around goal are silk, Sidebottom doesn't miss many,

And personally (besides shots at goal) I cannot picture GAJ lacing out any passes greater than 20m

You don't have to picture it when there would be heaps of video evidence out there.

 

[Sherrinator]

Simon Black totally owns this thread. I remember the ridiculous passes I50 across the body. Such a skilfull player.

 

[Damon_3388]

Dean Rioli.

What could have been

Cyril Rioli.

Was is.

This. Not too many teams would have their best player kick at 100% in the pressure cooker of a grand final.

Bont did.

 

[Power Raid]

Nope. Burns probably 1/5 - 1/10

Shaun Burgoyne doens't miss many targets

and so cool under pressure

 

[Footy 1st]

You don't have to picture it when there would be heaps of video evidence out there.

Then finding it and posting 'would be' easy?

Edit: quick youtube search, all goal related, 1 package (Simply the best) did show 2 passes over 20m for Geelong, with hair, under no pressure.

 

[Dacksaredown]

Wanganeen was the best at this. Used to pinpoint passes while getting tackled and those floating kicks that just stay out of reach of the opposition were awesome.

 

[Rusty22]

Pendles now.
Buckley best kick ever imo.

 

[Garlic muncher]

Chris Yarran was the first one I thought of. Had such a penetrating & damaging kick and pace.

The problem is the game is very physical and skills can be pushed into the background by desperate players hunting the ball and man, Yarran has fantastic skills either side but gets fazed by attention - which TBH is a real Victorian trait, Victorian footy is much closer in unlike WA footy which generally is much more open.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Pendles.

Aside from his precision skills he's like the ******* matrix. Stands still with a wee shimmy and blokes just dance around him.

He is a delight to watch

 

[Garlic muncher]

Buckley best kick ever imo.

Bullshit

 

[AFLOnline]

Did anyone even read the thread and title?

Bartel, Ablett, Lockyer, Dustin Martin... wtf. There are thousands of better examples than these. Come on guys.

 

[Rusty22]

Bullshit

who then idiot?

 

[Dacksaredown]

Bachar Houli is one of today's best kicks.



There's a good 50 pass in there that Riewoldt somehow stuffs up.
