Kick after the final siren to win the game -

What distance/angle and side of ground are we talking.?

Whatever part of the ground footballers usually kick from to win a game? [/smartarse]
I kinda picture it being around 40m out and roughly 30degrees off dead in front.

McVeigh with the ball never damages my calm because what happens next will almost always be the right decision and executed well. Thinking back, I've not trusted the on-field judgement of a Swan so completely since Matthew Nicks wore the Red & White. Of course, upon gaining possession, no player wants to hear the crowds pulse rate fall but tough luck. It's the price you pay for consistent excellence in thought and action.

Having now talked up the co-captain, this week I expect him to kick 1.8, lead the clangerlist, and be suspended four weeks for headbutting Lindsay Thomas.

Membrey or Everitt. Either are great shots for goal. After seeing Membrey kick in the Twos I think I would love to have him kicking for my life. Drey is next.

Jude's record from set shots is amazing, I wish I had the stats to back this up!

Membrey is a terrific kick no question but I'll reserve judgement on whether he could kick for my life until I seehim kick uunder the pressure of a senior AFL game.

I'll use the Dennis Cometti answer when he was asked this very question. "I'd choose my mum... pause.... Terrible kick but at least she'd care.

It's not funny because it's true! Thomas is the only protected species whose extinction would greatly benefit the planet. I really don't like the way he goes about it.

... Then again his accuracy is only around 50%, 25.24 for his career

Should that read "great set shots for goal"?

I reckon I can recall Goodsey missing 3 clutch set shots, so he's out for me.

& if people are proposing the runner, can we pick coaches or assistant coaches? Stuey Dew had a handy leg on him & Horse's Coleman lends its weight

Who would you feel most comfortable with (current seniors ie:not Plugger) the ball in their hands for a shot on goal after the siren to win the game?

Ok, so not Rod Carter either? I really only remember him having one shot for goal, a set shot against Melbourne R15 1986. 100% from set shots? Though as a Swan, he's kicked 1 goal, 1 behind ... can't remember the behind, but if it wasn't from general play, he's still a 50:50 chance ...

Well I'm glad we can't pick past players, otherwise I'd have to consider players like Jason Daniels, Andrew Dunkley & Andrew Schauble ... or Barry Round if the shot was taken from beyond 40m (though he could probably have handballed after the siren in 1996 against Essendon instead of Plugger to get us into the Granny ... I suspect that it'd have gone through the big sticks if Digger had handballed it ... even from outside 50 )

I picked Macca...but Parker should be in the list. Joey has kicked 32.12 or someting in the last couple of years.....and set shots I'm guessing 15.4....lots from long range too.

[Beerman]

From outside the 50, I would pick Jetta (despite last year's grand final, but he was cramping up then). Can make the distance easily and quite a good shot.
