Bulldog Worst Kicks?

[GVGjr]

Over the years which Bulldogs players kicking skills frustrated you the most?

One for me was Adam Contessa. I rated his attack on the footy but he frequently butchered the ball and it was frustrating to say the least.

So lets hear your thoughts?

A bunch in this current outfit.

Marra this year. 35m is his range with his current routine.
Naughton. Misses easy goals, but can?t go into defence apparently cause he?s so bad by foot.
McNeil makes the very easy seem completely impossible.
VDM not great.
Keath turns it over rather regularly.
Bailey Smith can?t hit a target.

Sam Darley came advertised as an elite user and I think he had more balls hit his shin than his foot.

On the VFL games I saw, Nick Bruton had some... ah... 'work to do'

Before Sam Power gets nominated, I thought his floaters were generally pretty effective.

Mitch Hahn had the worst style...but my god it was effective.

Brian Lake always seemed to put a lot of air on his kicks.

Not a Bulldog, but I recall Michael Johnson (Freo) having an odd, very distinctive kicking method, but never missed a target. Outstanding kick

He wasn't a bad kick just not how he was advertised to be.

Fair enough. My memory of him is kicking a few absolute howlers but it probably is due to how we positioned his recruitment which has prejudiced my memories of him!

Michael Talia was a shocker from memory

If it's an odd kicking style you are after, you can't go past Robert McGhie.

Sam "The Scalpel" Power.

Never quite lived up to Mike Sheahan's rating though, did he!!

Fair enough!!

Re: Bulldog Worst Kicks?

I happened across a table I can't seem to locate that ranked teams' field kicking according to retention rate by foot, ie; the likelihood that when you kick it, it ends up going to a teammate.

We were ranked 3rd last so my answer is everyone.

As to set shots, Naughton's action alone makes me recoil with dread before the ball even leaves his boot.
