Who are the best (and worst) goalkickers in the AFL?

Watts, B.Brown, Fantasia, Breust, Menzel, Shuey the main ones that come to mind for set shots.

Daniher copped shit early in the year particularly after his dreadful Melbourne game but it's widely recognised he's been pretty reliable since.

Honeychurch is dead set awful. 1.6 from set shots or something, the few misses I've seen were very basic.
 
Remember Gunston and Breust used to be dead eye dicks.
Reckon the one of best set shots is Watts now, he just has really good technique. His drop punts are straight as the goalposts, so angle usually isn't an issue as long as he can get a straight run up.
 
Langford is the worst set shot I have seen. When he is lining up it is just a matter of if it will be a point or if it will miss the lot
Haha very harsh hawkman but I must confessed this really gave me a chuckle.

Regarding the thread, I like using simple percentage. Set shots that are missed are often simple ones. Players know their limitations and have instructions from their coaches, so they normally only go for a set shot if they're a decent chance. McEvoy and Dickson's career percentages are great, but 9/10 McEvoy is marking around the goal square, kicking from 20m out. Dickson's 144 goals (only 50 behinds) would include many from 50 and beyond, I'd give him the nod as best set shot. If we're talking difficult angles or from the boundary, it's Eddie or Stevie J. Outside 50, it's probably Buddy or Matt Suckling (Zach Tuohy has nailed a few this season as well).
