Kicking for Goal - Hypothetical (life and death situation)

[Sainternist]

Q: You have a gun pointed at your head and your life depends on a St Kilda forward kicking a goal from a set shot from 45 metres out, directly in front. You can nominate only one of our forwards to take the kick, sans Nick Riewoldt.


I don't know about you, but I'm almost convinced I'd be a goner in this situation. This is a real concern for us in the near future. We need to improve on this tenfold very soon or otherwise we simply won't be seeing any type of window opened for a premiership in the foreseeable future.

WHere is the "none of the above" button.

Our goalkicking this year blew our season.

No question. 46% just doesnt cut it.

Better to point the gun at the head of those kickers.

Would be interesting to see if that could concentrate their aim.

Snipers in the crowd with paintballs?

I felt really uncomfortable with this question.

The option that said "These are the guys my life depends on? Goodbye, cruel world!"

Out pf your list I would pick Membrey but outside of that list I would pick Sinclair.

If it's an American cop holding the gun, choose which is most likely to occur:

a. the cop panics and shoots the player instead;
b. the cop shoots before the player even lines up;
c. the cop shoots the umpire because he believed the very shiny whistle in the hand
was in fact a loaded firearm.

Sigh.

From the list Membrey although i think Steele probably best of the team this year.

Reality is I'm a gonna

[desertsaint]

well i guess the positive is the confidence (or less of a lack of) in Membrey.
From his first season with us i thought he would be a very good player once he improved his goal kicking - it was abysmal.
on this choice i'd go with bruce outside forty metres - membrey inside.

Can I nominate Brett Voss?

Can I nominate Brett Voss?

YES! Colleague, you may!

[Waltzing St Kilda]

There was a time when Jack Steven would never miss a set shot.

Of the list above I'd pick Membrey but he can choke if the kick is really crucial.

[StPeter]

Membrey from this list but impressed with Carlisle's kicking for goal from limited chances this year.

[Munga]

Membrey. Clutch goal on the weekend

[Sainternist]

Membrey from this list but impressed with Carlisle's kicking for goal from limited chances this year.

Me too. He's a fantastic kick for goal. Wish he wasn't so averse to playing up forward.

the Murphygate game where JB got very lucky...against his trend...
if he'd missed 3 or 4 like he normally does, his figures would look even worse than they are!

[Yorkeys]

So Gresh, Billings and Bruce could reasonably become 50+ goal a yearers. + Marshall Battle - all looks good so Jake C its still starring in the defence 2018 for u. I feel good do do do do do. Although I sort of did in March 2017 as well but it is our time, soon.

[Rosco]

Blacres solid as a rock from set shots. Membrey also great.

[repta]

Hand the gun to the saints player and tale the shot yourself. With the saints accuracy you would safe.

[freely]

The Age ranks Blacres our best (or 'most surprising' best), going at 75% -
