Who is your AFL club's best and worst goalkicker?

SIREN sounds. Your AFL club is down by five points with a shot on goal to come. Who has the ball?

Goalkicking is as much an art form as it is a mind game.

Some get it, while others waver when "that" moment arrives.

... spare a thought for Richmond fans watching enigmatic Tiger Dustin Martin spray more than 60 per cent of his shots.

So who was your club's best goalkicker in 2013? [minimum 20 goals, figures in per cent unless specified]


RICHMOND: Jake King (53.8 ) made the most of limited chances, Jack Riewoldt (53.7) was next best. It was case of feast or famine for Dustin Martin (38.3) two or more behinds in a game on 10 separate occasions.

Jarryd Roughead 72 (59.5%)
Travis Cloke       68 (48.6%)

Jack Riewoldt    58 (53.7%)

Jakey!!!  :cheers

Always knew he was a dead eye dick  :clapping Jack is a given though I though his accuracy was a bit down this year.

Dusty tried to kick the unkickable goals as the season progressed. I suspected he was trying to prove to the club his value and X-Factor as his contract talks dragged on. Perhaps with that out of the way he may be more team orientated and look to square it up ore rather than attempt low percentage chances????

King for captain.

thats the spirit
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?
