    Macrae, Hunter or Dunkley; which mid is best at finding a target.

    We all know our mids can find the ball and rack up the numbers, but which of these men has greater hurt factor. Which of these three has the better percentage of delivering to a teammate in good position to start a forward thrust?

    Out in space, Hunter.
    Under pressure, Macrae.

    Macrae is much bigger bodied than Hunter so that would help his under pressure delivery. He is good at freeing his hands in a tackle. Despite his awkward kicking style he is effective at foot passing and has great vision.

    Macrae, easily at this stage.

    I’d say MaCrae but Dunkley when it comes to kicking for goal.

    Macrae by an absolute mile. His ability to find targets and create angles with difficult kicks is seriously underrated IMO. For mine he is second only to Bont for creativeness by foot for us in tight situations.

    Is this where I put up the video link to Macrae kicking at goal, late in September 2016 at a little oval north of the Mexican border?
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    Strange choice - I would say Hunter and Macrae are both better kicks at goal than Dunkley.

    I will go with Hunter, but Macrae is probably just as good now.

    Hunter 8.10 from 23 shots.
    Macrae 8.5 from 14 shots.

    Macrae wins goal kicking accuracy easily here.

    I know it's a Lachie Hunter video but Gee I love Crozier's effort at 2:20.
