Bulldogs best kicks
I was listening to SEN yesterday and they had a session on the best left foot kicks. Some of the names being mentioned really brought back some memories.
So with that in mind, who are the best kicks you have seen at the Bulldogs?
There are some obvious variables in terms of longest kicks, weighted kicks, ability under pressure, goal kicking accuracy and even dribble kicks.
So lets hear the 5 best kicks (or more) you have seen playing for the Bulldogs?
Mine would be
Bernie Quinlan
Simon Beasley
Doug Hawkins
Caleb Daniels
Tory Dickson
Matt Suckling
I've got a few more I'll add later.

They were two more on my list. Cameron wasn't a good set shot but we equally lethal off his left foot.
Kicking skills came easy to Gilbee and it was unreal to see the depth that he got with what looked like and effortless kick.

On the run heading to goal - the Bald eagle
Gilbee for sure, Cameron & Grant for their opposite foot. Dickson as a goal-kicker, and Richard Osborne for long-range goal kicking.
Caleb Daniel & Gia under pressure.

I was thinking that Richard Osborne would be missed but some of his long range goals kicking was sensational.

Re: Bulldogs best kicks
Barry Hall was pretty good.
Hawk the best I'm sure mentioned already.
Stringer on the snap is pretty Lethal.

Re: Bulldogs best kicks
Suckling was genuinely incredible. His first 8 weeks I thought he was so impressive, would be moving with the ball then no scope someone who i was sure was in his blindspot 60m away on a 100 degree angle.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Seemed to be so much gap between his best and worst though. Some days his kicking was hideous.
Gilbee the best I've seen. Don't think you could kick a Sherrin better.

Yeah after those first 8 weeks (I think he hurt his ankle) he was never really more than a solid player, but those first 8 weeks were so impressive.

Meant he kicked right through it.

Re: Bulldogs best kicks
Adding to the above list - Kelvin Templeton was an amazing shot from long distance, Bont's on the run long penetrating kicks (not goal kicking).
Gilbee has to be the best kick I have seen along with Sucklings precision.
