Dual-sided gems: Who's your club's best kick with both feet?

2015: Dustin Martin's fend-offs have become his trademark but his ability to dispose of the ball using both sides of his body is equally impressive. He is beautifully balanced and is a thumping kick which he can execute off either side. Martin has become more versatile with stints off half-back and up forward, where his strength one-on-one was a factor late last season. This year he will spend more time through the midfield.
Best since 1980: While the current Greater Western Sydney coach played more games for Footscray (172) than Richmond (84), Leon Cameron made an impact as a dual-sided Tiger who was used as a creative rebounder from half-back after playing on the wing and in the centre in his early years. The natural right-footer was known for his long kicking while on the run and was able to execute that on both sides. Before Nick Malceski, there was Leon Cameron.

Don't reckon Malceski is anywhere near as good as Cameron was.

Hows Lids on his left?

I'd have said J Riewoldt to be honest. Very good both feet. Don't rate Dusty's left.
