Opinion Top 10 best set shots for goal

[GrandBlue]

Cameron Ling is an incredible set shot.

Anthony is probably the best going around at the moment. LeCras 2nd, Ling 3rd.

Nah, you're wrong, Porplyzia is the best, absolutely no contest.

 

[Hoffy95]

Nah, you're wrong, Porplyzia is the best, absolutely no contest.

His first 3 seasons suggest otherwise.

I'm not wrong. It is an opinion.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

In no particular order;

Jason Akermanis (WBD)
Mark LeCras (WCE)
Brett Deledio (RCH)
Alan Didak (COLL)
Steve Johnson (GEE)
Brendon Fevola (CAR)
Mark Williams (HAW)
Matthew Lloyd (ESS)
Jason Porplyzia (ADE)
Gary Ablett Jnr (GEE)

 

[Gabbatoir]

seriously. 30.8 and he's not on some lists???

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Usually bet my house on Goddard kicking truly.

 

[Kappa Tau]

Not top 10, and ill probably get persacuted for this, but Scott Welsh and Daniel Giansiracusa arn't to bad either.

Taylor Walker could be one to put money on when he lines up.

 

[legitimatic]

Scott Thornton for sure.

 

[StringyDog]

Not top 10, and ill probably get persacuted for this, but Scott Welsh and Daniel Giansiracusa arn't to bad either.

Taylor Walker could be one to put money on when he lines up.

Weslh not so much in recent times, but definately agree with Gia, within 40 metres you can pretty much bank on him kicking it

 

[MrNatural]

1. John Anthony
2. Porplyzia
3. Akermanis
4. Lloyd
5. Bradshaw
6. Mark Williams
7. Didak
8. Steve Johnson
9. Ablett (i never see him miss)
10. Fevola (would be higher on list barring this season)

Id also like to pick players for particular set shots...

30-40 out any angle---- Anthony
50+---Fev
Freakish bananna from pocket---- Stevy J
To kick for my life----Didak

 

[WN123]

Do the people who keep including Fev in these type of lists even watch the game. Sure he kicks some amazing goals but overall is conversion rate is in the bottom end of key forwards.

 

[melbournemartin]

Brad Green used to be on everyone's list but has gone downhill massively.

In 2005, it was Russell Robertson (go look at the stats if you don't believe me). He could kick them from all angles, especially tight on the right pocket. Oh how far we've come since then

 

[chrisap2]

Anthony, Lloyd, Stevie J, Porp and.......Dawson

 

[donbooger]

Wouldnt put Ablett or Stevie J on any set shot lists, give me Ablett on the run or Stevie J from the boundary instead. Ling and Chapman are our best from set shots.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

Cameron Mooney.
Id put the house on him kicking a goal. He just needs to know people have confidence in him!

 

[Go the Guts]

The only stats I could find on this were overall goals/behinds for the season, so doesn't discern between set shots and on the run shots, but here it is as from tonight:

Porplyzia - 36-8
Anthony 33-14
LeCras - 39-18
Bradshaw - 39-11
Tredrea - 38-20
Johnson - 37-31
Koschitzke - 35-15
Lloyd - 33-24
Tippett - 32-19
Betts - 31-16
Knights - 25-11

All the others aren't even in the ball park in terms of accuracy.
But Porplyzia is clearly right up there this season, well ahead of Anthony and LeCras in terms of accuracy, with Bradshaw very close as well.

 

[jatsad]

Has everyone forgotten about one of the best from any distance or angle - Alan didak

 

[half back flank]

Going to the game yesterday i'd have to say Brenden Lade is a pretty dam good set shot.

1. Jason Porplyzia
2. Daniel Bradshaw
3. Mark LeCras
4. Jon Anthony
5. Brendan Lade
6. Eddie Betts
7. Jason Akermanis
8. Paul Chapman
9. Liam Jurrah
10. Alan Didak

 

[james Dean]

1)Anthony
2)M.Williams
3)Porps
4)Bradshaw
5)Lloyd
6)LeCras
7)Pavlich (forget the chokes last year he is usually dead on)
8)Fevola
9)Aka
10)Kreuzer (rarely misses and has kicked some impressive ones)

36 - 8. That is quite amazing really. Pretty hard to argue with facts.

 

[staphy]

1. John Anthony If he can get a kick
2. Porplyzia
3. Akermanis
4. Lloyd
5. Bradshaw
6. Mark Williams
7. Didak
8. Steve Johnson
9. Ablett (i never see him miss)

[wp25]

They said before the game last night that LeCras was 22.4 from set shots for the year. Then he went and kicked 2.3

 

[Kappa Tau]

I'd put Lade and Williams in mine

 

[BluesMan]

1. porps
2. leCras
3. anthony
4. aker
5. thompson
6. higgins

 

[bobmurphy2]

Koschitzke is a great shot a goal from 45+

Higgins is also very accurate.
