SEN have declared Jayson Daniels as the worst kick ever. He called into the station an accepted his 'award' - obviously has a good sense of humour. Who do you consider the worst kicks of all time, from both the Dogs and other clubs?
Daniels calls in, accepts worst kick award
Daniels calls in, accepts worst kick award
Jayson Daniels was anointed as the worst ever kick in football history on The Run Home and was good enough to call in to accept the honour.
The former Saint and Swan played 173 games in the league kicking 30 goals, but is often remembered for his disposals by foot that missed the target.
“My phone’s been running hot to ring SEN saying I’ve won a prize,” said Daniels on SEN radio.
“I was thinking most courageous, best handballer? But, no.
“I know where it stems from Harf, a couple of those games out at Waverley where I towelled you up.
“That’s obviously been eating at you all these years.
“It wasn’t my strong suit (kicking), the hand-eye coordination lacked a little bit and still does.
“I worked as hard as I could with what I had and hung in there for a few games.
“The boys up forward didn’t like it, Plugger used to always complain about the helicopters sitting in the air for a period of time.
“I either make the redheaded team, or worst kicking team, so it’s nice to be remembered, anyway.
The 45-year-old went on to give Marko and Harf the best and worst kicking moments of his career.
“If you really want to know I kicked three in one game at the MCG against Melbourne off a wing, pretty happy with that one,” laughed Daniels.
“There are a few to choose from (worst kicks), probably set shot up at the SCG, ten to fifteen metres out, slight angle, on the full.”
Of course, he was even keener to suggest a few of his own nominations for the worst kick in footy.
“I hope Dunkley was right in there, James Manson was he in there?” pondered Daniels.
“Barry Round, but he won a Brownlow so we can’t go too hard on him.”
